We are an animation production company with a focus on developing original and adapted IP for the emerging new adult animation market.
We blend the paintbrush with the computer, ai with puppetry, hand drawn with cgi.
We tell stories.
Because that is the core of being human… from birth to death, day to night, dream to dream, we narrate the human experience in order to teach our children, learn from our ancestors, embrace our spirituality, comprehend our mortality.
An ancient craft, using the latest techology.
Clouds and Spheres is a play on the famous quote by mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot from his 1982 book, The Fractal Geometry of Nature.
"Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line."
it’s about the harmonious marriage of technology and art, the digital with the organic.
The patterns in us all.
