Animoon’s production are made thinking about viewers from Poland and from abroad. Each one of our projects is developed and promoted as a separate brand.
Animation helps to portray the world of imagination and make it understandable for others.
Animation helps to open oneself to the work of many talented people. It’s an incredibly inspiring field, focusing in itself so many creative careers.
Developments/ we enhance ideas /
Studio specialises in development of projects.
Commisioned, we can realise a thorough development process of animated projects, regardless the format. We work with experienced creators – screenwriters, script doctors, and authors of graphic delivering – designers of characters and illustrations. We develop the project, bringing it from the idea stage into production.
Smodo/ motion capture for dolls /
SMODO is an innovative stop-motion technology which connects the classic puppet animation with the newest ways of portraying movements. Using SMODO, instead of with a puppet, the animator works with its armature equipped in colourful markers. A special marker tracking system brings the armature pose into a 3D software, in which the armature is merged with a digital puppet model. In effect, on the computer screen the animation artist can see the whole puppet, just like in classic animation. SMODO technology guarantees cost-reduction, post-production stage shortening, and simplifying the work on the filmset. SMODO is also an innovative education tool. The technology idea originated with Grzegorz Wacławek, who is also responsible for it’s further development, together with Pelican Capture Sp. Z.o.o (Limited Liability Company).
Momli/ app for the youngest /
MOMLI is a mobile app dedicated for the youngest kids in preschool age (3-6). The app gives access to animations and songs in english, all high quality content in graphic design, music and text. The app is accessible on smartphones and tablets, and guarantees safe-view access. Momli is supported by the Momli Vevo channel on YouTube, where all of the songs, trailers and some episodes will be published.
