this hybrid short film tells the story of a shy barber named kotlach, who encounters a mysterious dwarf called kokeš. the dwarf offers him the services of a personal hitman, setting off a carousel of dark humor and moral dilemmas in a surreal world. the project sensitively follows czechoslovak literary and cinematic traditions, blending live-action scenes with distinct animated sequences.

our studio participated in the key stages of creating the film’s animated components. we managed the complete animation of selected parts of the film and the preparation of assets for 2d cut-out animation. the specific artistic style of the animated sections flows seamlessly with the live-action footage, providing the necessary visual dynamics. through digital cut-out animation technology, we were able to bring characters and environments to life in a way that enhances the story’s absurd atmosphere.

this bedtime story project brings a series of short tales about two young brothers who gradually discover the world around them through play and curiosity. thanks to their unexpected ideas, they experience incredible adventures that often land them in tricky situations, but in the end, compassion, solidarity, and mutual cooperation always prevail.

our studio participated in the production of two episodes titled “washing” and “snow”, where we were responsible for the complete compositing. as it was an established project with a precisely defined production pipeline, our main task was to adapt to the set visual standards and technological workflows. the series is created using 2d cut-out animation, and during the compositing process, we utilized a set of specifically programmed tools that give the final shots their characteristic depth and atmosphere. this experience allowed us to effectively bridge our technical precision with the strict requirements of an ongoing large-scale production.

ctrl+alt+defense project represents an original concept for a 2d animated series focused on raising awareness about internet security. the central character is ester, a flying robot who guides viewers through the digital world and deciphers the hidden threats lurking in online spaces. the narrative line combines authentic life situations with clear infographics. the entire series was designed as a ten-episode run, currently awaiting production.

in terms of visual execution, the project features 2d cut-out animation built on a modern artistic concept. the environments are designed in a minimalist and abstract spirit, which, combined with the unique character design—ranging from robotic entities of the online world to stylized figures of the real world—ensures universal clarity. the aim of this aesthetic was to transcend barriers of age or gender and resonate with the widest possible audience.

we created a complex 3d infographic video for sféra, aimed at presenting its product portfolio in a clear and modern way. we managed the project as a complete service package, with our collaboration starting as early as the creative concept and scriptwriting, and continuing all the way to final rendering and export.

the visual style of the video is built on a clean 3d aesthetic that is fully integrated into the client’s corporate identity and color palette. spatial infographics allowed us to dynamically display technical solutions and data, making them visually engaging and easy for the viewer to understand.

we created this animated video in collaboration with real estate agent and consultant petra totev. the spot aims to showcase the protagonist’s professional work and encourage viewers to reach out with confidence whenever they need expert help or advice in the real estate market.

visually, the project features 2d cut-out animation, with both the artistic concept and layouts developed digitally. although the story follows the interaction between the character janko and petra herself, the key element is the clear infographic illustrating petra’s workflow. the overall color palette was carefully adapted to match the client’s existing online communication and visual identity. dynamic transitions and a clean graphic style ensure that essential information remains clear and memorable for the viewer. the result is a functional explainer that humanizes professional consulting and bridges the gap to the end customer’s needs.

some themes are fragile and require more than just a pretty visual. for the o.z. návrat ngo, we prepared an animated spot about nina – a little girl searching for her place in the world. the video sensitively opens up the topic of the importance of a stable family environment for the youngest children. our goal was to transform a challenging social issue into a visually clear and emotionally powerful story that moves the viewer without being preachy.

at plutoon, we took this project completely under our wing – from the first lines of the script to the development of the art style and the final render. we chose the technology of classic 2d animation, which allowed us to work with the softness and symbolism key to this story. we designed the characters and environments to feel warm and human, underlining the main message of the campaign. the result is a whole where every line and every movement serves a single purpose: to remind us that every child deserves arms that won’t let go.

macko dobroocko is the main protagonist of a heartwarming charity campaign for kaufland, created in collaboration with úsmev ako dar. the animated spot tells a story of selflessness and friendship, dominated by the beautiful illustrations of adrián macho. the campaign’s goal was not only to evoke christmas emotions but, above all, to support a good cause and spread the message of mutual help.

our task was to set adrián’s unmistakable style into motion. our work included the complete creation of layouts that defined the composition of each scene. the animation itself was built on a combination of 2d techniques, with an emphasis on preserving the texture and delicacy of the original illustrations.

a key part was the precise compositing, where we layered individual elements to achieve depth of field and a magical winter atmosphere. the result is a fluid, almost fairytale-like visual that organically connects the world of toys with true christmas values.

this is a cool animated online series made for young folks. we teamed up with the bratislava policy institute for a project called rayuela. the idea behind this animated show is to make internet safety topics easy to get. meet our main characters – two foxes named johana and william. since we’re aiming this at kids aged 9 and up, the series is set in a made-up gaming world and has that rad 8-bit look from old-school computer games. forget human heroes, we’ve got animal characters, and the bad guys are all crazy fantasy creatures like demons and monsters. think of it as a vibe similar to games like super mario. the series covers stuff like cyberbullying, online hassles, human trafficking, awkward moments, fake news, and misleading info.

we’ve got 4 episodes, each running for about 40 seconds. the videos are all created using 2D animation. the artistic processing and graphics used draw inspiration from the visuals of 8-bit computer games from the 80s and 90s – you know, the ones making a comeback. by using this look, we’re hoping to connect with our main audience, the cool kids. each video is like a gaming level, and our main aim is to have our hero uncover the big baddie and kick their butt. plus, in the gaming world, there are these cool “info-graphic” bits that help break down the info in a fun way.

Since 2021, we’ve been teaming up with Hitchhiker Films and director Dan Dekan on a series of animated videos about a little Gingerbread boy and his Christmas adventures. The main protagonists are members of the Gingerbread family, who, along with forest animals, find themselves in challenging situations every Christmas. But with the support of friends and family, they always manage to overcome these hurdles. This video series is part of Kaufland’s Christmas activities for children.

 

The animated videos about the Gingerbread family use 2D cut-out animation. The artistic concept and layouts were created digitally, but some details contribute to the impression of hand-drawn illustrations. Since these videos are primarily aimed at young children, the animation is stylized and simplified, and the animal movements mimic human actions. Currently, the series includes three animated videos.
