What We Do
Red Pebble Design was set up as a platform we could use more independently to work on new animation and art concepts, either in-house or collaboratively with others who have a great idea but need design support to bring it to life.
The ideas we work on are based on a story, music, observation or memory - other projects are born out of our desire to highlight important global or local issues. Our projects vary in nature from commercial to independent and are often purely explorative.
How We Work
We include a wide range of media on our work, including 2D/3D modelling, painting and illustration, sculpture and product design.
Alongside coordinating the basic narrative and visual concept package for each project, we evaluate the prelim programme and delivery requirements and develop an outline marketing strategy in the pre-production phase.
We often collaborate with other animation professionals, writers, artists and musicians.
