"Kelsy and the team at Animism always showed great professionalism and flexibility when dealing with our aggressive delivery schedule. The work was done well, while staying on budget, and our producers and studio were both very happy with the final product. I look forward to working with the Animism team again in the near future.”
"I have to say that working with Animism was a complete pleasure. They delivered on time and on budget. They were given a considerable amount of freedom on the creative and delivered a phenomenal film. They work in a very collaborative way which results in a superior product with no drama. I will definitely be using them again on a future exhibition project."
We were so lucky to have been able to work with Animism Studios. Their high quality work elevated our commercial ten-fold. They were fun to have on set, easy to collaborate with, and they went above and beyond with every frame. I can't wait to create images with them again soon.
Animism was a joy to work with. They were very well organized, collaborative, communicated effectively, and delivered a polished finished product even on our tight schedule. I highly recommend this group and we look forward to future collaborations.
