Lorica - Character & 2D/3D Animation Specialist, Manchester

Character animation is what we specialise in. To connect with an audience, animation needs personality and individuality, as well as a strong story. Not just making pictures move, but how does it move, why does it move that way, who is it and what’s its purpose in this film. Be it in 3D, hand drawn 2D, or motion animation, it’s the thought and story behind the visuals, that makes the visuals extra special. Our Directors each have over 20 years animation experience, from television series work and title sequences, to commercials and short films to game animation. The team can create anything from modelling and rigging muscle perfect human skeletons to animating delicate flowers blowing in the wind on a summers day.

Approach

From concepts, scriptwriting and storyboarding, to animatics and animation, we can join your team at any stage in the process and are always on hand to advise on how to make best use of animation and running your animation projects. We work with artists from all around the world to find the look and style of design and animation, be that 2D, 3D or 2D in 3D space, we can make it beautiful.

Style

As animation specialists our illustration is always commissioned bespoke per project, so as a long as its animation friendly (we can advise you on that) the world is your oyster for the design. Our animators are also project specific, it’s not just any animator for any job, your project will be animated by animators that understand the character and purpose of their narrative.
