The Hague, October 2024.

After 16 years of adventures in animation and motion design, we decided to close our studio, to find new challenges. It was a rocky road, but always exciting. With many cool projects that we can look back to with joy, pride and fulfillment.

We want to thank our friends, colleagues, interns, family, our clients who trusted us with their projects and believed in us. Goodbye for now, but let’s meet again in the future!
