The studio
Thailand’s Premiere Animation Setup
Series Reel
Situated in Bangkok’s upscale Thonglor district, and housed in a stand-alone five story building with adjacent private art villas, our home has bragging rights to being one of the top most animation facilities in Thailand. From storytelling to design, modeling to texturing, camera layout to animation & lighting, effects to color grading, our 200+ family is a melting pot of experience from North America, Europe and Asia, with as many nationalities as we have disciplines.
M2 is an english speaking studio operated with North American standards & Scandinavian sensibilities, we take the upper hand by fitting ourselves out with state of the art equipment, modern data security, staff amenities and an informal international atmosphere. When we add in healthy doses of Thai food, culture, craft and tropical beaches, it’s an easy task to attract top talent from around the globe.
The Talent
Artists, Technicians and Tacticians
Our collective of Artists, Technicians and Tacticians form a firm alliance to represent the three foundations on which quality can thrive.
Each supports the others as our technical teams provide precision tools for our creatives to finesse their work, our management teams collaborate to plan achievable milestones, and our leadership teams give forum to allow people input and ownership of their contributions.
The Approach
From 15 years of constantly outdoing ourselves on each project, we have distilled the essence of quality into three simple ingredients:
Choices
Creative choices need to be made at every step, so we put great weight in choosing the appropriate aesthetics for the maximum appeal.
Know-how
Understanding the impact that each decision has for every step of production allows us sharp planning to avoid stalled production flow.
Fanatical Devotion To Meticulous Detail
Care and attention is visible on screen to all viewers – discerning or otherwise – therefore every object on screen demands we attend to its purpose and value.
TECHNOLOGY
A Lean Artist-oriented Pipeline
As our data snakes its way through the complex pipeline that is CG animation, it rides firmly on the back of a philosophy that technology serves to support creativity. We remove the need for artists to be concerned about file names, file sizes or file locations, instead allowing them the maximum space to hone their craft.
And as innovation never ceases to influence our industry – from technology to storytelling – so our development team spends each day working on a faster, sharper and more agile experience for our teams.
To Sum It Up
Not just another paint-by-numbers operation, M2 Animation is a rare coupling of Eastern & Western sensibility, creativity and performance, able to deliver with equal strength on three major fronts:
Conceptual Pre-production
(Story, Art, Design, Storyboard, Edit)
Animation Production
(Model, Rig, Texture, Layout, Animation)
Final Output
(Lighting, FX, Render, Composite, Post, Audio, Packaging)
South East Asia meets Europe meets North America to bring world-class quality with affordability.
