Selected work 2026
What the studio ships
Nine pieces, from a hand-drawn magazine feature to a plugin: the drawing and the finished frame side by side, and the systems we built to make them.
Selected pieces
The same work we show clients
Nothing on this page was made for the website.
01Illustration · editorial
Drawn by hand, printed on paper
Over a year of editorial illustration for a newsstand monthly: botanical and lifestyle features, issue after issue. Everything here begins as a drawing on paper — line, weight and composition settled by hand — and colour, texture and light are built in the finish. That craft is what makes the faster tools behave. Each style can also be trained into a model, so a brand keeps one consistent look across everything it makes.
Drawn by hand, as published.
02Animation & character
One animation, many looks
Flat, frame-based animation built in After Effects. We ran some of these clips through our own plugin and restyled them into felt, flannel and claymation looks, among others. The same animation, finished a dozen different ways.
Same timing, same drawing. Only the finish changes.
03Branded video · end to end
Storyboard to screen
Written, designed and animated end to end. The board is drawn by hand, shot by shot, before anything is generated: it is the document that settles framing, rhythm and casting. The finished film follows it.
Drag the handle. The same eight shots, drawn and then finished, in the same order.
04Branded video · 2022
The same process, older tools
A promotional video for AddLance, made in 2022, before any of the AI work on this page. Written, boarded, designed and animated the way motion design has always been made. It is here because the process did not change when the tools did: the board still comes first, and the tools only decide how long the middle takes.
Made for AddLance in 2022. Traditional motion design, start to finish.
05Case study · social
Four photographs, one film
A set of still creatives for a removals company, turned into a vertical film for social. The photographs never move: what moves is built on top of them with AI editing and motion design. One set of images, one film, and a shape that fits the phone it gets watched on.
The four stills above, the finished vertical below. Fifteen seconds.
06Custom models · since 2023
A house style, trained
Hand-drawn character sets become the training data for a custom image model. It learns one consistent style, then generates new, on-brand illustrations on demand. One of these models has been running a client blog since 2023.
Hand-drawn training set above, generated on demand below. The drawings are ours: they are an input to the model, not an output.
07Generative pipelines · 2023–2026
Verticalised, early
Production pipelines we designed and prototyped ahead of the curve, built for precise, controllable output and to cut the cost of physical sets and rendering.
3D generation
Cinematic renders in minutes, not hours.
Product personalisation
Any finish, colour or setting from one photo.
Image & video stylisation
Any photo or clip restyled, frame consistent.
Content automation
AI agents that run the repetitive production work.
08Product · JustAE
AI video, inside your editor
A plugin we built in 2026. It puts a generative video layer right in the timeline, not in another browser tab. It runs in After Effects and DaVinci Resolve, with an open-source core and a Pro edition for studios: marker interpolation across layers in batch, storyboards built from placeholders already in the composition, and versioned output named the way a studio names files.
Two flows, one panel. The pitch, in thirty-seven seconds.
09Labs · generative animation
Illustration, in motion
These frames come from a video that starts as our own drawing and our own idea. AI makes it real, then we animate it. Labs is where things get tried before they become tools.
Drawing first, generation second, animation third.

Systems
The tools behind the work
Four systems built for our own production. Two of them are open to anyone; two run inside the studio.
01
JustAE — AI video in After Effects
Marker interpolation, prompt-driven storyboards and versioned batch renders. Open source, Pro and ComfyUI editions.
02
Composes original music and tailored lyrics from a brief, with a commercial licence included. A concept takes about five minutes.
03
Custom model training pipeline
The pipeline we use to fine-tune generative models on a client’s own material, locally.
04
Our daily AI art lab. Where techniques get tested before they reach a client project.
