"Stories are wild creatures, When you let them loose, who knows what havoc they might wreak" - Patrick Ness

Stories are what define us as humans.

At OtherStuffStudios we love to tell stories, from the ones that change the world to the ones that change a heart. Everyone has a story to share! We’d love to tell some stories with you!

We See What You Mean

Our visual palette comes from years of learning and living, talk to us about our experiences and we'll tell you a story!

Every Idea, every project, every attempt to do something interesting comes from telling stories.

From building brands to blocking out storyboards, showcasing identity to creating animations and character designs we have it all covered.

We love to push narrative boundaries, make the new buzz and we're ready to translate that into a visual language that your audience won't stop thinking about!

"The team punches way above their weight-class, it's a unique situation where with less visual flare, in a market filled with high end effects, the kids manage to tell stories that stick with you because of the way they make you feel, even the ones that I've never experienced in my own life. That's real direction."
