At Lunar Animation Studios, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. We work with clients of all sizes, partnering directly with brands or supporting creative agencies to bring CG to life within wider campaigns. Whether you need us from concept to final delivery or for a specific part of the project, we fit in where you need us most.

Our work spans multiple sectors, including cinematic trailers for games, bold commercial content, immersive experiences, and our own, original IP - from YouTube entertainment to licensable attraction content.

We don't believe in shortcuts; we believe in smart, efficient production, adapting to any scale or budget while crafting every project with precision and care.

Our Location

Our studio is based in the UK, in Kelham Island, a cool, creative neighbourhood in the city of Sheffield that perfectly suits the work we do. Take a look at our video to see the energy, creativity, and character that surrounds us every day.

We're situated in a converted steel mill, just a ten-minute walk from the city centre and a stone's throw away from the tram link, giving us easy access to Leeds, Manchester, London, and beyond.

Sheffield itself is a city we're proud to be part of. From theatres, galleries, restaurants, and live music to green spaces and bustling shopping streets, it has something for everyone. And with the Peak District National Park just minutes away, connecting with nature couldn't be easier.
