01 / The studio
We follow a story
wherever it takes us.
Into a frame. Across a keyboard. Through a city that only exists after dark. Whimsical Arc is an independent production house making original animation, games, films and music.

A few things
we’re dreaming up.
A moving sketchbook / 00:20
From the first mark
to the final feeling.
03 / Our disciplines
Different tools.
One creative instinct.
Animation
We look for the moment a drawing stops being a drawing and becomes someone.
↗02Games
Places to get lost. Systems to question. Stories that notice you are there.
↗03Film & cinematics
Films, episodic stories and cinematic sequences built around images that stay with you.
↗04Music
Original scores, themes and recordings with a point of view of their own.
↗05Sound
The room beyond the frame. The weight behind a movement. The breath before a line.
↗06Art & visual development
Characters, creatures, spaces and visual rules. The untidy, essential beginning of everything.
↗07Creative technology
We build the things that let artists make the things they cannot stop thinking about.
↗04 / Whimsical Arc originals
A world of
our own.
Some ideas keep asking to exist. We give them the time, the artists and the room to become something only they could be.
05 / From the music room
Close your eyes.
There’s a story here.

06 / The work between the frames
Leave the
pencil marks in.
The false starts. The strange reference. The drawing nobody wants to throw away. Our process makes room for all of it.
a good question is a place to start.

Alongside our originals, we imagine work with publishers, studios, artists and brands.
