We're a close-knit crew of artists with way too much computing power and a genuine obsession for crafting visuals that make people stop scrolling. Founded in 2013 by Dirk Schuster and Benjamin Simon, we started out creating bold illustrations and key visuals. Today, almost everything we touch moves – animation, motion, loops, films. The craft evolved, the attitude stayed. Over 13 years we've worked with agencies, startups, global brands and local heroes alike. From Google to the bakery around the corner (okay, not literally, but you get it). What they all have in common: they came back happy. We sit somewhere between a freelancer and a big production house. Which means: high-end quality without the overhead, direct lines to the people who actually make your stuff, and none of that 'let's schedule a meeting about the meeting' energy. Oh, and we're based in Trier – Germany's oldest city, population: not a lot. Great design doesn't need big city lights. But decent Wifi helps. Wanna work together? Drop us a line. Or catch us at one of our talks and conferences – we're always happy to nerd out about CGI, show some work, and grab a drink after.
