Understanding Your Vision & the Science Behind It
We start with a conversation to deeply understand your goals and challenges, ensuring we align on the vision for your project. We then dive into comprehensive research and consultation with specialists when necessary, immersing ourselves in the science to ensure accuracy and clarity. During this phase, we also create a Mood Board, gathering visual inspiration that will guide the overall look and feel of the project.
Clear Scope and Vision
We present a detailed proposal outlining the project scope, timeline, and budget. Along with this, we provide Style Frames that demonstrate the visual direction, ensuring we’re on the same page before moving forward.
Perfecting the Plan
Upon proposal approval, we dive into the details — a script is crafted, voice-over is recorded, and then we lay out the animation sequence. This stage ensures that every element is in place before we begin the final production.
Bringing Your Story to Life
We animate your vision, making sure it’s polished and tailored to your needs. After completing the animation, we work closely with you through rounds of feedback, ensuring that the final product perfectly aligns with your expectations.
Andy Mason — creator of Shapeshifters, motion designer, animator, and lifelong explorer. Born and raised in Colorado, he’s always been drawn to creativity, science and the great outdoors. His journey began with a love for space travel and biology at an early age, continued with an undeniable artistic talent during his teenage years, and evolved into the pursuit of a Bachelor’s Degree in Media Arts and Animation.
He has worked with top brands and studios, bringing ideas to life through motion design for 14+ years. One of his proudest moments? Creating a 3D animation for a rocket launch and watching it lift off at Cape Canaveral. Now, with his own studio, he is setting his sights on blending art and science to tell stories that ignite curiosity, educate, and inspire action — whether it’s deep space exploration, cutting-edge technology, or the natural forces shaping our planet, his aim is to make science seen.
When he is not designing, you’ll find him snowboarding, hiking or exploring the world with his wife, Ivanna. His curiosity and travels have led him to live in South America and Europe, learn Spanish and Italian, and find a passion for landscape photography.
