Manic PixelDream Co.
A dynamic 3D animation team for film, episodic, advertising and games — building real-time visuals in ways other studios call impossible. Born in NYC. Brewed in Chicago. Now everywhere.
Some studios promise you the kitchen sink. We show you what matters.
Manic Pixel is a compact, senior real-time animation department — the same artists who’ve shipped for the world’s largest platforms, working direct with no layers in between. The best of our work is still under NDA. The rest is available on request.
Visual Effects
Feature-grade compositing, FX simulation, and finishing for film, episodic and spots.
CG & Animation
Character and hard-surface CG, look-dev and lighting from concept to final frame.
Virtual Production
Virtual art departments, previs and realtime environments for LED-volume and in-camera VFX.
Realtime & Unreal
Interactive worlds, game cinematics and realtime pipelines built in Unreal Engine.
Concept & Design
Art direction, concept design and world-building that hold up under a camera.
Look Development
Signature looks, shaders and grading systems tuned for scale and consistency.
