From classroom to screen: Metropolia students create Fleak shorts
We had the chance to work with some up-and-coming talent on a short we did in the lead up to the release of âFleakâ in cinemas.
The talented students at Metropolia created a short with us - handling everything from initial concept and storyboarding through animation to final lighting & comp, all with mentoring from our senior artists.
These shorts were used on our social media in the lead up to the Fleak premiere and were also shared with distributors internationally.
It was a pleasure to work with

Kiitos Audiovisual Producers Finland - APFI kunnianosoituksesta!
Thank you Audiovisual Producers Finland - APFI for granting Anima this yearâs Hulda - Finnish Audiovisual Export Award. This is the result of years of work by our studio and its artists.
âNiko - Beyond the Northern Lightsâ territories are practically sold out internationally with 3 million tickets sold at the box office by now. âFleakâ has already sold to 40 countries and counting.
It is great to see Finnish animation travel so well internationally. This is thanks to the great work by the artists of our studio and all of our partners in Finland and abroad! đ đ

Last week, we had a private screening for the movie Fleak in Helsinki, Finland! Guests got to enjoy the film, and there were also some activities for the kids! The people who worked on the film at the Finnish studio were also there, and afterward, we all went to a small after-party to celebrate the movie!
