Image models
Storyboards, background plates, color script. Generated per shot from the shotlist; cut and refined by a director.
We make anime at the speed of light.
An AI-native animation studio. A small team using image and video models to build anime, from frames to full episodes.
02Studio
Small team.
Whole studio.
We're a few people putting image and video models inside a animation pipeline. Tools have made it easier to create anime, our (human) writing becomes our biggest asset.

Where the models show up.
Video models
Character-conditioned generation per cut, driven by the board. Action passes re-rolled and curated; quiet shots usually land first take.
Composite & grade
Depth, grain, FX, light leaks, color. This is where generated frames stop looking generated and become a finished cut.
Sound & master
Score, ADR, foley, mix. The episode leaves the studio at broadcast quality, ready for the window it'll ship to.
04Sequences
Anything the story needs.
Range matters more than any one cut. Quiet rooms to fast action, intimate to spectacle — the same pipeline, the same hands.
05Pipeline
The production combination.
Six stages. Animation is AI-generated — every other stage is human-led.

01scriptHuman
Script & beats
Adaptation pass, beat sheet, shotlist. Pure human work — the spine of the episode is written before any frame is generated.

02boardHuman
Storyboard
Rough boards generated per shot from the shotlist, then a director cuts and re-times. The board is the contract for every later stage.

Layout & color
Background plates and color script. Lighting decisions get locked here — every later generation references the plate, so the look stays coherent across the episode.
