Whimsical Arc / The studio
An independent
frame of mind.
A production house for artists who think in stories, and stories that refuse to stay in one medium.
Our point of view
A character does not care which department it came from. A good story does not stop at the edge of a screen. We work across disciplines because the idea should get to choose its shape.
Curiosity is
a working method.
Whimsical Arc develops original worlds and works with collaborators who have something specific to say. Animation, game development, filmmaking, music and creative technology share one conversation.
We believe in early sketches, honest reviews and enough room to change our minds. Production is the discipline that lets an unusual idea survive the journey to an audience.
An imagined studio timeline
Always becoming.
The first notebook
A small collection of characters and musical sketches becomes the seed of a studio.
A shared language
Animation, sound and interactive experiments begin to inform one another.
Worlds in progress
The first fictional slate takes shape, from A Small Weather to Nocturne Bureau.
Leave room
For the next artist, the unexpected collaboration and the idea that changes everything.
