May.
Squash and Stretch.
The principle that gives weight, life and flexibility to movement. Push it down, it spreads. Pull it up, it stretches. The more extreme, the more alive it feels.
May is basically that. Everyone suddenly expanding and stretching trying to get ready for summer.
Good month, people! 🙂

April Arcs.
Nothing in nature moves in a straight line. Everything curves, bends, finds its own way around.
That's arcs. The principle that makes motion feel alive instead of mechanical.
April gets it.
Good month, people 🙂

March
Secondary Action.
One thing moves, and the rest follows, naturally.
Feels like March.
One shift leading to another.
Hope this month brings you good reactions and even better chain effects.
Good month everyone✌️

February.
Follow Through and Overlapping Action.
You make one move, a few more tag along, nothing wraps up cleanly and everything overlaps and keeps rolling.
That’s the principle, and honestly, that’s February.
Too much happening at once, nothing fully settling.
Good month.

Finally resharing this short spot we created for Ten Million Hands.
It’s about a prepaid card. It does not eat vegan, recycle, or ride a bike. Still, it supports a greener future.
We built a small, crisp world around that idea. Vector based, clean lined, and full of character.

In Greece, we like to wish each other a good month.
It’s a small habit, and yes, we really do this.
After creating a calendar inspired by the 12 principles of animation, we thought it would be nice to bring each principle to life. A simple way to wish a good month and come back to the core of animation.
For January, the principle is framing, and it felt like the right place to begin.
So here’s January, delayed but properly framed.
Good month.

Every year, we make a Christmas gift for our community.
Our collaborators, friends, and people we admire.
For 2026, we created a calendar inspired by the 12 principles of animation, one for each month. Each page works on its own, so every month can also live as a poster.
For our digital home, we’re now bringing it to life, one month at a time.
Stay tuned.
January might be late, but it’s not over yet
and honestly, this January felt like a whole year.✌️
Red eyes never looked this intense.
Our latest project for Septobore eye drops, created with The Newtons Laboratory.
The film takes the idea that red eyes can feel like horror and gives it a playful twist. It starts in darkness with glowing eyes staring back, until the lights turn on and reveal everyday life instead.
A short story about tension turning into relief, told through stylized 3D, a stop motion feel, and a good dose of attitude.

Booked ‘n Busy.
Studio closed Aug 11–31, fully committed to skipping deadlines and stones.
Back Sept 1. Recharged, unbothered, and probably still salty. 🌊🌊

Designing the ESSA world meant finding the right balance between surreal and sharp.
Clean compositions, graphic contrast, and bold transitions helped tie the chaos together. These are some of the frames we built the world on.

What if a myth swam through your daily routine?🧜♀️🍺
We were asked by Savvy Partners to bring the Nymfi mermaid to life. Through a three-screen animated installation for Nymfi Beer, we turned a classic local legend into a moving story told across bus stops in central Athens.
Designed to be bold, surreal, and attention-grabbing, the animation blends 2D and 3D techniques to keep the character’s weird charm intact—while creating a fluid visual loop that feels both familiar and strange.
