ANIMATION FOR PRODUCTION COMPANIES
Are you a producer looking for a reliable collaborator to bring animation to your project?
We love forging creative collaborations with independent producers and production companies to bring new dimensions to stories through animation. We've partnered with over 20 production companies across the UK – including Boom Cymru, Wildflame, JM Creative, Atebol, On Par, Twt Productions, Whalebone Films and LipSync Post – to create beautiful animation for broadcast, features, ad campaigns, documentaries, corporate briefs, educational videos – through to service work for full animated series.
Whether you need full-service animation or support on specific elements, we can adapt to your needs.
With great communication and low overheads, working with us is a joy and financially accessible – we can slot into existing pipelines to deliver broadcast-quality work, on time and on budget.
We always love making new connections with producers and production companies. Get in touch if you fancy a coffee and a chat!
Lauren is just wonderful to work with. I've worked with her on projects for the BBC, University of the Arts London and the National Theatre and on every project she brings huge amounts of creativity, professionalism and is always an oasis of calm, even under the most pressured circumstances! I always relish an opportunity to work with Lauren and her team.
— Chloe White, Whalebone Films
On every occasion JM Creative has collaborated with Picl, the experience has been a delight, and the end results spectacular. The projects Lauren and her team have worked on with us, including a Christmas campaign for S4C, have received plaudits and praise across the board.
— John Morgan, JM Creative
We worked with Lauren and the team from Picl on a short film that explained system change in health settings. The project ended up being quite drawn out, with a changing brief and complex ideas to explain. They were amazing to work with from our initial meeting to sign-off. They were highly professional, creative, flexible, while being kind and enjoyable to work with. They responded well to the brief and came up with some beautiful hand drawn illustrations that the client loved. We wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again!
— Dieter Deswarte, Yarrow Films
It was an absolute pleasure to work with Lauren and the team at Picl. We had a tight schedule and a modest budget, but Picl delivered a gold-standard service, going above and beyond to deliver a fantastic set of animations for broadcast on S4C. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and we are delighted with the product which far exceeded our expectations. We hope to work again soon with Picl and would recommend them to anyone.
