Eddy Animation is a production company founded in 2015 that represents animation film directors for music videos, advertising, game cinematics and fiction.
Directors alternate between personal projects where they explore their directorial vision and visual creativity, and commissioned films, where their experience and their love of innovation are further developed. It’s not a technique or style that defines us, but the synergy between the artistic approach and the story.
Our philosophy is to nurture and encourage our director’s artistry. The idea of constant progression towards a goal defined together drives us forward. In a world saturated with images and communication, we are convinced that the collaboration between a director and their team is as important as the support of their artistic vision. This alignment is the key to our success.
Our goal is to develop original stories, both for fiction and for clients, and this cannot be done without our team of artistic directors, screenwriters, copywriters and graphic authors who are at the heart of the studio.
Since 2015, Eddy Animation has produced music videos for artists like Gorillaz, Ariana Grande and Breakbot, but also Christian Rich (winner of the gold price at Club des DA and the winner at Berlin Music Awards), Anne Muller (Silver Winner at the Shots Awards, Gold Winner at Club des DA and shortlisted at Ciclope) and even M (awarded at the Berlin Music Video Awards festival).
Eddy Animation has become an industry leader in the video game cinematic industry and has collaborated with Ubisoft, Riot Games, Bethesda, PUGB, Nacon, and Lilith to name a few.
We have equally worked with emblematic brands such as Chanel (shortlisted in the Ciclope Festival 2023), Diptyque (Bronze Winner at the Shots Awards 2023), Bentley, Hermès, MAIF, Amnesty International, Red Cross and the Monnaie de Paris.

Lidl "A christmas you can believe in" directed by Joseph Mann at blinkink
in a year of ups and downs, it is fitting that a christmas campaign brings a smile to those at home. joseph’s keen eye for comedy is at play with a story that seems to follow the usual fare of delicate framing and thoughtful pacing but with a swift turn, a traditional ad turns into a tongue-and-cheek romp. the delicious food was seamlessly shot and integrated into the cg world, created piece by piece through brunch studio in paris.
John Lewis "The Bear & The Hare" directed by Elliot Dear at Blinkink
A one-of-a-kind transatlantic collaboration between Elliot and Yves Geleyn, the Bear and The Hare has become one of the best loved Christmas commercials of recent years. Created by placing 2d cutouts of the characters into real sets and then animating in-camera, this groundbreaking film used techniques that hadn’t ever been tried on this scale. The results are breathtaking; Aaron Blaise’s (The Lion King, Pocahontas) character designs spring to life under Elliot’s direction. A film to warm even the coldest heart.
Bbc christmas "The supporting act" directed by Elliot Dear at Blinkink
Elliot’s Christmas fIlm for BBC One shows his ability to take a simple story and turn it into something truly magical.
The characters were animated using stop-motion but the facial expressions were created and mapped on the puppets using CGI to bring them to life. The dance routine was choreographed first in live action and then an expert team of Blinkink animators recreated the moves one painstaking frame at a time.
This relatable story of a young girl preparing for the biggest performance of her life will have you wiping your eyes (and tapping your feet).
