MIXED MEDIA ANIMATION
What is Mixed Media Animation?
Mixed media animation, sometimes called hybrid animation, is when different techniques – such as flat art, still photography, 3d imaging, stop-motion, or live action – are combined in a compositing program to create something new.
Our History With Mixed Media
Our history with mixed media goes back to even before the founding of the studio. Creative Director William Gadea’s short film It’s About My Brother was an official selection of the prestigious Annecy Film Festival in 2003. Since our founding in 2012, mixed media has been a
staple of our work.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Because it is a combination of different techniques, well-conceived mixed media animation can look amazingly fresh and out-of-the-ordinary.
You create the imagery that will be combined in the usual manner. If you are taking photos or video, you might need to isolate your subject using a green screen. Then you join the layers together in a compositing program – After Effects is the one that is most popular.
