Your Pipeline. Our Expertise. One Deadline.

Animation production doesn't always need another studio taking over the entire project. Sometimes it needs the right artist, the right team, or the right production support at exactly the right moment.

Deadline Monkey works as a flexible animation production partner for studios, agencies, and production companies.

We bring together experienced professionals across the animation pipeline, adapting our involvement to each project's creative requirements, technical specifications, and schedule.

From individual shots and specialised production tasks to coordinated animation sequences, we integrate into existing workflows and help productions move forward.

Different projects need different crews. We believe flexibility should make production easier, not more complicated.

What We Offer

Dedicated Animation Artists: Experienced 2D, 3D, motion design, and VFX professionals for specific production assignments.
Flexible Production Teams: Coordinated groups of artists assembled around the scope, schedule, and technical needs of each project.
2D Animation Pipeline Support: Additional capacity for storyboarding, rough animation, key animation, inbetweening, clean-up, colouring, and compositing.
3D & CGI Production Support: Specialised artists for modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, rendering, and related CGI tasks.
VFX & Post-Production Support: Dedicated resources for tracking, rotoscoping, cleanup, beauty retouching, compositing, and CGI integration.
