Welcome

Second Home Studios is the workplace of animator/director Chris Randall who oversees the creative direction of all projects that pass through its doors. Specialising in stop-motion and 2d animation, the studio’s repertoire of commercial work encompasses animation in all its forms; film production, online viral campaigns, TV commercials, title sequences, broadcast promotions, idents and theatrical projection design.

Browse around and you’ll find a talking banana skin, a mechanical town, a tornado, painted people, kleptomaniac mice, political satire, paper butterflies, a puppet comedian, a microscopic man, a dead fish and a neurotic sparkplug, to name but a few.
