Emotions make stories unforgettable. They make us connect with stories, brands, and causes on a deeper level. But not all emotions work the same way. That’s why we’d love to know what you think as a viewer. #storytelling #digitalmarketing #videomarketing

Every animation starts with a single line on a piece of paper. What follows is a balanced combination of art, technology and passion. Sketching, concept, modelling, shading and lighting. Each character takes on a life of their own, carrying a story and emotions, igniting a spark that connects with the audience. Meet Anna, the original dog trainer from our most successful story: Pip. She went on to feature in many of the projects we created for Dogs Inc. #animation #animationstudio #digitalmarketing #marketing #storytelling #characteranimation

We often get asked, "How do you create these incredible stories?" Well, it’s a complex process, too long for a single post. But if we had to make it simple these would be the main steps. 1️⃣ Understanding your vision: We align with your goals and ideas to bring your story to life. 2️⃣ Script development: We write a compelling narrative that sets the foundation. 3️⃣ Storyboarding: We visualise the whole piece, including temporary sound and music, to shape the storytelling flow. 4️⃣ Character & setting design: We create the stars of the story and their world. 5️⃣ Animation. We bring everything to life with movement, emotion and personality. 6️⃣ Music & sound. And, finally, we enrich the experience by engaging not just the eyes, but also the ears. At Studio Kimchi, every step is infused with passion, empathy, creativity, and a deep sense of collaboration, both between our team and the clients. Our goal is not only to tell a story, but to make people FEEL it. 💬 We love talking about animation! What else would you like to know?

Stories are more than words. They are the threads that connect us, the bridges between cultures, and the sparks that ignite movements.  They remind us of our humanity: our shared fears, dreams, and triumphs. At Studio Kimchi, we’ve witnessed how a heartfelt animation can breathe life into an idea, connect with someone miles away, and even inspire action. We believe that behind every meaningful story is the potential to make someone feel seen, heard, and understood. That’s why we keep creating, connecting and telling stories that matter. What about you? How do you use stories in your business to make a difference, whether big or small? #animation #storytelling #digitalmarketing

Watch the magic unfold! Every animation starts with a vision, an idea to share with the world. And storyboards are where that vision takes shape.  For us, storyboards are storytelling in its purest form! It’s where life is created, before a single frame is animated. This is where the magic begins. So simply and so beautifully. #Animation #Storytelling #CreativeProcess #DigitalMarketing

Popota and Leopoldina have been filling Portuguese homes with Christmas joy for the past few decades. In 2020 we were trusted with the mission of bringing them together for the first time ever. We teamed up with MC and FUEL Lisboa to tackle what would be our biggest project yet, and the result became legendary, the most successful and best performing Popota film ever!
