Animation & AI-FX
Some ideas need more room than reality allows.
Media Squatch develops character-led animation, original shorts and hybrid productions that combine live action with creative effects. Based in Bedford, Virginia, our crew works with businesses across the Lynchburg region and beyond.
Give the idea a character
A mascot or animated character can give a campaign a voice that is easy to recognize. Bennie and the Media Squatch cast are examples of how character, tone and recurring stories can work together. We start with the purpose of the character and the audience it needs to reach.
Use the tools that fit the story
Our animation and AI-FX work includes animated shorts, AI-assisted visual effects and hybrid production. These tools can support ideas that would be difficult to capture in a conventional shoot. We discuss the visual direction, production approach and intended use before developing the piece.
Keep it connected to the campaign
A short can live on its own or become part of a wider advertising and social campaign. Explore the cartoons in our vintage television player for a sense of our style, then tell us what you have in mind. We can connect the creative with video production and distribution planning.
Questions before we get started?
Can animation be part of a business campaign?
Yes. Characters, short animations and visual effects can be developed for a commercial or a series of social posts. We will recommend an approach based on the message and where it will appear.
