FILMS & EPISODIC SERIES
Build the world.
Tell the whole story.
From the first story idea to the final shot, we connect character design, environments, performance and finishing.
For a series, reusable characters, rigs and worlds keep every episode consistent. For a film, we shape the production around the script and creative ambition.

- 02 Create the cast & world
- 03 Animate & finish
01 / CHARACTER CRAFTSMANSHIP
A face you
won’t forget.
A memorable character starts with a clear personality. We develop its silhouette, proportions, expressions and material details into a coherent 3D design, built around the story you want to tell.
- Concept and visual direction
- 3D modeling, textures and materials
- Facial and body rigging
02 / ANIMATION & MUSIC VIDEO
Give your idea
its own rhythm.
Movement makes a design feel alive. We bring characters into music videos, brand films and stories with expressive animation, facial performance and a sense of timing.
- Character animation and lip sync
- Music video performance
- Movement and expression tailored to the story
THE PERFORMANCE MAKES THE PERSONALITY
A raised eyebrow.
A perfect pause.
A little magic.
03 / OPTIONAL MOTION SUPPORT
Keyframe first.
Capture when it helps.
Keyframe animation leads our cartoon performances: artists shape the poses, expressions and timing around the story. When a project benefits from captured movement, motion capture can provide reference or a starting point, refined by animators to suit the character.
- Optional capture and performance reference
- Artist-directed keyframe refinement
- Character-specific movement
04 / PLATFORM INTEGRATION
One character.
So many worlds.
A character’s destination shapes how it is built. We plan for the technical and creative needs of websites, apps, games and interactive experiences, as well as film and rendered content.
- Platform requirements defined in the brief
- Real-time character preparation
- Interactive and conversational experiences

Studio answers.
A few useful answers before your character’s first scene.
Can you support cartoon films and series?
Yes. Discuss your film, pilot, series or individual sequence with the studio. We scope story and visual development, character and environment assets, animation, rendering and compositing around the production. Episode counts, duration, partners and deliverables are agreed for each project.
What 3D animation services does Mimic Cartoon offer?
Mimic Cartoon offers character design, 3D modeling, rigging and keyframe animation, with hybrid CGI/VFX and Video AI workflows. Projects include films, series, music videos, brand characters, games and apps; motion capture is optional support where it suits the brief.
Can a character work in both a video and a game?
A character can be planned for multiple uses, but the assets may need different versions. Game and app delivery requires attention to geometry, textures, rig compatibility and real-time performance.
What should I include in an animation brief?
Include the character idea, audience, story, visual references, intended platform, animation duration, required deliverables, schedule and budget range. Existing designs and assets also help define the scope.
How much does a 3D character project cost?
Cost depends on the number of characters, design complexity, rigging, animation, environments, revisions and delivery requirements. Contact the studio with a brief for a project-specific estimate.
Can you use motion capture with stylized characters?
Yes. Captured performance can be adapted to a stylized character’s proportions and rig, then refined through animation to suit its personality and movement style.
