- - 2D and Cel Animation

Mantra animation services are supported by state-of-the-art facilities.
3D Animation
3D animation has developed substantially over the years; with better technology improving the speed of rendering, and life-like quality now achievable, 3D animation has gone beyond the realms of pure entertainment, now moving into areas such as education, training and games. 3D is no longer just for high-end movie productions – we have a variety of types of animations that will suit most budgets. Consider perhaps including 2D elements into your project, rather than everything in 3D – it still adds interest and engagement – but can keep the costs down, so you get more for your money. 3D appeals to all markets – children through to adults, so is a great medium to reach a broad market.
With the right blend of modeling, texturing, lighting effects and high quality rendering, we can breathe life into your projects. Our animators love pushing the bounds of creativity – so get in contact with us and see what we can do for you!

2D Animation
2D animation has been around for decades, entertaining adults and children alike. Cel animation is how the Disney animated films started, with classics capturing audiences world-wide. Cel animation still exists today, although these days, rather than using the traditional plastic ‘cels’ that were overlaid on each other and then photographed to build up a scene, it is now all done digitally in programs such as Photoshop, Toon Boom and After Effects, just to name a few. Our artists can draw either traditionally on paper, or digitally the animations, which are then coloured in the computer and composited in their digital environment to produce the final animated product. It is a fascinating process, and when you watch them in action, you gain a greater appreciation for all the hard work involved in animating a character; remember that for most projects there are 25 frames every second to animate! The end result however, is very rewarding when your project has your own special feel to it – a custom made animation – just for you!
