Welcome to
our animation studios

‘Second Home, First Love’ is our motto. We create award-winning animation in all its forms. Every day we’re working on telling a new story, and every project is a baby to us. We’re proud of every one.

Animation can be used to tell any story. Whether it’s a hand-drawn octopus playing a pipe organ, or a stop-motion journey through a paper world, or a BAFTA-winning motorbike adventure, we strive to entertain and enthuse.

Our animation services

We specialise in all forms of animation, but pride ourselves on imaginative, handcrafted and experimental stop-motion productions.

We’re geeks when it comes to the details. Our passion for craft and meticulous approach is what separates Second Home Studios from everyone else.

Whether you’re looking to engage adults with hard-hitting content or make children laugh out loud, we can flex to any brief in all the styles animation affords.

Talk to us. We prefer to get involved from the outset, so if we ever start acting out our idea with a stapler and telephone please don’t be alarmed. We’re constantly thinking of new ideas and love to push boundaries.

Don't just take our word for it...

Working with the creatives from Second Home was simply great fun. The graphic work from the team in Birmingham has embedded our high quality science documentaries in a beautiful environment. During the cooperation we all enjoyed a smooth and inspiring process of finding the sweet spot for every individual ident. Thank you to Chris and his team!

These guys are storytellers. They helped us articulate Rekorderlig’s complete life history in a succinct and stylish way. The team at Second Home are responsive, adaptable and above all, they care. What’s not to like?

We’ve had the joy of working with Chris and the team at Second Home on several occasions. They bring their exceptional creativity, humour and expertise to every job. Their attention to detail is second to none; they constantly go to endless lengths to get the very best out of a brief and their personable approach makes collaboration a pleasurable process. Absolutely no hesitation on recommending their services to anyone – for any project requiring that unique solution, guaranteed to impress.

Working with Chris and his team at Second Home Studios was a delight. They stepped up and supported our project (HelpMyStreet) during the Coronavirus Crisis. Their creativity and attention to detail was great and they also had the patience to work with us, evolve the animation and get it right for our audience.
