2D animation that audiences can feel.
2D animation that audiences can feel.
We're the London studio behind 2D animated characters, brand films and title sequences for ITV, Sky Original, BBC, Pepsi, Squint/Opera and Klick Health.
What we make
2D work, made for the brief.
Animated Characters
The kind of 2D where a glance, a pause or a half-smile does more work than a hundred lines of dialogue. Built around character, drawn frame by frame.
Brand Films
Short-form animated films that say what your brand actually stands for. Made for campaigns, social, sites and pitch rooms.
Title Sequences
The thirty seconds before your audience commits. We've made the opening beats for broadcasters, events and award-winning shorts.
Why Myth
Why brands and broadcasters pick us for 2D.
01
Breathtaking Illustration
Our team are illustrators first, animators second. That's why our 2D work has the depth, texture and intent of work that started its life on paper. Because it did.
02
Built Around Your Story
Every project is led by an artist who acts as the creative director on the work. Briefs become characters, characters become worlds, worlds become films. Nothing comes off a template.
03
Made for the Brief You've Got
We make 2D for thirty-second ads and for year-long narrative films. We scope, price and pace the work around what you actually need to ship, not the other way round.
Selected work
2D animation we're proud of.
How we work
How a Myth 2D project moves.
Five steps from first call to delivery. A producer and a creative director on every project, start to finish.
01
First call
You drop your name and email into the form. A producer and a creative director come back, usually the same day. We talk through what you need, what you want it to feel like, and what you can spend.
02
Concepts and look development
We develop two or three creative directions. Sketches, palettes, character lineups. You pick the one. We refine it.
03
Boards and animatic
The film comes together in storyboards first. We build an animatic with timing and a temp soundtrack so you can sign off on shape and pace before any frames go to animation.
04
Animation and clean-up
Frame-by-frame animation, hand-drawn or digital cel, clean-up, colour, compositing. The full traditional 2D pipeline.
05
Sound, grade, delivery
Final mix, score, grade and delivery in every format you need.

FAQ
2D animation, the practical questions.
A 2D animation budget depends on length, complexity, character count and the level of frame-by-frame work. As a rough guide, shorter or simpler 2D pieces start from around £15,000, a 60-second 2D brand film usually sits between £25,000 and £75,000, a more involved character-led piece can run from £75,000 to £200,000, and full narrative shorts or title sequences are scoped individually. Talk to a producer using the form on this page and we'll come back with a real range.
A standard 2D brand film of 30 to 60 seconds typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from kick-off to final delivery. Title sequences and longer narrative films take three to six months, sometimes longer. We'll always pace the schedule around your actual launch date, not a notional one.
We work to fixed deadlines all the time, including launch dates, broadcast windows and campaign go-lives that don't move. The first thing a producer will do on the call is reverse-engineer a schedule from your delivery date so you can see exactly what's possible in the window you've got.
Both, depending on the project. Some films need the texture and feel of true frame-by-frame. Others need the speed of a well-built rig with hand-animated overrides. We pick the technique that fits the work, not the other way round.
Character design is one of the things we're best known for. Most of our 2D projects start with original character development, not stock or library work.
We can come in at any stage. Some clients arrive with a finished script and a storyboard. Others arrive with an idea and a brand book. We've got writers, directors and storyboard artists in-house, and we work with trusted partners on voice, sound and music.
A solo animator is a great fit for a single short scene. A studio is what you need when the project has multiple deliverables, multiple disciplines, a fixed launch date and a client signing off the work. We bring producers, directors, designers, animators, comp artists and sound partners under one roof.
We're a London-based 2D animation studio, with credits across the UK, Europe, the US and Bhutan. We work remotely with international clients as standard.
Drop your name and email into the form on this page. A producer reads every enquiry. We'll come back to you within one working day with next steps and, if it's a fit, a creative call.
