Kind Words from Our Clients
ABOVE OUR EXPECTATIONS
It has now been a few months that we have been working with Pixune Studios and the quality they deliver is truly impressive. From the start, they have been understanding our vision and providing 3D animations that were above our expectations. We are already engaging ourselves in a long term partnership.
VERY CUSTOMER-ORIENTED
Design quality and animation work were very good for character briefs and every feedback was taken into consideration. As a result, high quality design was received within a defined time frame, and Pixune was very responsive in terms of delivering our needs. They have taken everything into consideration to reflect our needs and delivered a successful project In a defined timeframe. They are very customer-oriented and try to help your activities as much as possible. Instead of taking money and running, they are like teammates for us.
BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS
Pixune Studios was hired to create a two minute animated music video to accompany a new song from Canadian recording artist EVETA. After contacting many animation studios in Canada and in the US, it became apparent to us that a ‘high quality’, ‘world class’ animated music video could not be produced for the budget that we had in mind. Poland based Pixune Studios was the only company that could produce what we wanted within the necessary budget. Furthermore, the Pixune team was easy to reach and communicate with. Given the complexities of operating during a worldwide pandemic, our project did incur a bit of a delay but in the end, the quality of the product delivered was BEYOND OUR EXPECTATIONS. I would highly recommend Pixune as a ‘go to’ animation studio for the music industry.
QUALITY IS THEIR FIRST PRIORITY
During the first meeting with Mohammad, I learned a lot about YouTube marketing and the process of creating 3D animation. Although their price was higher than my budget, I decided to collaborate with them because of their quality and communication. I really enjoyed working with Pixune Studios because they were always in touch and ready for meetings and revisions. Since quality is their first priority, even though I was satisfied with the design of the main character of my YouTube animation, they designed it again from scratch at their own expense to make a memorable mascot for my animation. And finally, the result was much better than my expectations, so that we are planning the next project with them.
SUPPORTIVE AND PATIENT
I am blown away by the work of Pixune Studios. I really didn't know how I would be able to replicate my daughter's drawing, but Pixune Lak assured me that they could make Laci become a reality. I have had a ton of experiences when it comes to creative art designs, and they didn't turn out well. So, I was even more uneasy when he handed me off to Reza to handle my design. However, Reza and the entire design team were just as supportive and patient with me throughout the entire process, even when I made additional changes. Pixune Studios maintained its integrity by fulfilling the job as agreed and exceeded my expectations. This is only the beginning. Thank you again.
TRUST THEIR EXPERTISE
Pixune Studios went above and beyond to ensure that the 3D animation required for my project was completed by the deadline and within the budget that was allotted. I truly appreciated their hard work and dedication to their clients– often working very late into their evening so that every detail and point of feedback was addressed in time. The quality of animation was impeccable, and I can definitely say that I trust their expertise when it comes to 3D work. They made sure to provide consistent communication and provide updates along the way, which made it much easier to trust them and their process. I highly recommend Pixune Studios to anyone looking for 3D design support!
SURPRISED WITH THE QUALITY
We had a character animation that needed to be done for a large project and we were given a short timeline. Pixune and the team worked with our internal team to take one scene. They were prompt, worked within our timeline, and delivered quality work! I was hesitant to hire an outside of our company as we typically handle all animation in house but the timeline was too short for our team to complete. We were presently surprised with the quality and how seamless the workflow was. Would recommend!
BETTER THAN THE REFERENCE
The quality of the art received was really impressive after the team came up with ideas and improvements all the time for the characters. Being timely and attentive to details is great but their passion and involvement in our project were amazing! We will surely collaborate again. The team is very passionate and we were amazed when we got the final result which was better than the reference we provided, a reference that we really liked. I can say that we loved their work and that they are able to take an idea and bring it to life thanks to the passion they are working with and the perfect communication they are providing until the best result is reached.
HIGHLY COOPERATIVE PEOPLE
The Pixune team is full of kind, excellent, considerate, empathetic, talented, and highly cooperative people. The quality of the work that was received was outstanding, however it did take multiple iterations to reach that level. Some instructions were missed, but were fixed - it just lengthened the process and the schedule.
HIT EVERY DEADLINE
Awesome work. Great communication. Was really happy with Pixune and how great this project came out. Hit every deadline, and even when we needed to change directions a bit, he was able to still hit the deadline. We will certainly be working with Pixune again.
PUT EXTRA EFFORT INTO THE PROJECT
They are very eager to satisfy the client's requirements. Their communication is perfect and also understanding of the required output is on point. They put extra effort into the project to get it completed in time and have a skilled team and your project is safe in their hands. I will definitely work with them in the future. Best of luck guys great working with you.
SURELY COME BACK AGAIN
This guy did really good work, he really did amazing art and even after the artist finished he wasn't happy with it so he did it all over again from scratch. I really recommend him and will surely come back again. (this is already the second time)
THE END RESULT WAS WORTH
This was a great experience overall. He took time to actually understand what was needed to deliver the project that I was asking for. Modelers tend to rush because they think they know what the client want, but Pixune went over to clarify the specifics. It required a little more time than we agreed on. However, the end results was worth an extra few days. Trust me...it's worth waiting a few more days, than to have something you don't like at the end. I highly recommend to anybody reading this review. And I look forward working with Pixune again. Thank You!
THE RESULT FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS
I've worked with many illustrators and I've never had such an amazing experience! The results far exceeded my expectations, communication was great, and very flexible and willing to please. I'll definitely use them again for more projects!
VERY COMMUNICATIVE
Pixune was very communicative throughout our project. they asked a lot of good questions and produced great work.
VERY EASY TO WORK WITH
The team did everything they could to help us and give us the result we wanted. They always listened to feedback and were very easy to work with. I look forward to working with them again!
BRILLIANT TO WORK WITH
Brilliant to work with and will be working with them in the future!
Our Technical Capabilities
Why Our Storyboard Company?
We are perfectionists by nature and can’t even deliver a bad storyboard even if asked to! An ugly art annoys our brains more than you 😀
Several times, a client was happy with a piece of art, but we were not, so we designed it again from scratch at our own expense.
We offer more than just a storyboard. Our team tries hard to translate your idea accurately, ensuring your vision makes it to the screen even better than what you have in your mind. We remove the guesswork to show the storyboard with simple models, scenes, and movements with better details beyond your expectations and align the creative team around your original vision.
We welcome changes and criticism, and we are as flexible as possible when it comes to implementing revisions. However, as professionals, we will express our opinions and provide our advice. Ultimately, the decision-making lies with you.
You will be constantly updated to share your comments, apply any changes to the storyboard, and ensure we are on the right track. An exclusive account manager will be allotted to your project who will manage our communications. They respond to messages quickly, are always available, on-call, and ready to jump on a meeting with you, even on weekends.
You may have experienced situations where delegating a project has resulted in both time and cost wastage, with a failed outcome. That’s not the case here. We will take full responsibility to ensure that the desired outcome is achieved once and for all.

- A dedicated account manager will be assigned to your project, available during flexible hours, including weekends, to facilitate seamless communication and act as an interpreter if needed.
- All our key team members, including the project manager and those you’ll communicate with, are proficient in English for efficient collaboration.

There are 3 reasons to consider outsourcing your storyboard:
- Creativity: Have you ever considered that you can outsource creativity, too? Apple partnered with Hovey-Kelley for creative ideas when inventing the mouse. A storyboard agency thrives on imagination and creativity.
- Quality: Practice makes perfect. Storyboard companies produce countless storyboards, constantly honing skills and staying current on industry trends and tools. Their experience enables great storyboarding service delivery without wasted time or budget.
- Scalability: Expanding a storyboard scale requires growing your team. That’s challenging in-house but not for a storyboard agency with access to more storyboard artists. A storyboard company maintains larger talent pools and connections to scale up readily.
There are 4 criteria for picking the best storyboard agency for your projects:
- Portfolio: A storyboard company’s expertise is showcased via its storyboard portfolio, and nothing tells better what they are capable of than its past works.
- Reviews: Read their reviews online and see what their past clients think of them. The most honest on-hand thing you can find in any agency is its online reviews.
- Communication: First impressions matter – especially when it comes to communication. If they’re slow to respond or just plain rude from the get-go, imagine how it’ll be once they have your money! Trust your gut and work with people who make you feel good.
- Time and Budget Compatibility: After all, you might find the best storyboard studio in the world, but your time schedule and/or money budget do not meet their demands. Find a storyboard agency that meets all the previous characteristics as well as your budget and schedule.
Our storyboarding services include storyboards in any style, including thumbnail storyboards, animated storyboards, slugging storyboards, vertical storyboards, technical storyboards, style frames, and animatics. You can choose the style based on the needs of the project and how much time can be invested in the storyboarding process.
Here are 3 key managing tips for rushed projects:
- Build in a buffer time (plan for 5 weeks if your target timeline is 6 weeks) for contingencies, iterations, and reviews. Buffer time acts as a protection against any errors or issues related to the project force majeure. This way, circumstances that might not go as planned are taken into account.
- Build in a buffer budget due to the need for additional resources, overtime hours working, revisions, and changes. While some changes might seem minor, they can accumulate, leading to significant increases in both costs and time.
- Consider reevaluating some aspects and changing your project scope and overview by reducing the complexity, number, and length of the project.
Here are 7 strategies to help you benefit the most from a storyboard partnership:
- Provide a Clear Brief: Start by providing a detailed brief that outlines your project’s goals, target audience, style preferences, and any specific requirements or references. This clarity upfront sets the right expectations and success.
- Exact Planning/Milestone Request: Request a detailed production schedule that breaks down the key milestones and deliverables from the studio. This transparency allows you to track progress and ensure timely completion.
- Stand on Your Values While Trusting the Studio: Establish parameters based on your unique values or objectives. While maintaining oversight, be open to the studio’s creative suggestions in both technical and artistic aspects. Our experience shows that 93% of our clients who trust us tend to achieve better results.
- Request Regular Updates: Ask for daily or weekly progress updates depending on the project’s complexity. This frequent communication ensures alignment and allows for timely course corrections.
- Have a Comprehensive Contract: Establish a detailed contract that covers timelines, deliverables, payment terms, delay penalties (if applicable), and any other crucial terms.
- Document Everything: Maintain all communication records, including chat logs and meeting notes. This documentation serves as a reference and helps mitigate potential disputes.
- Foster a Safe Environment: Encourage an open and collaborative atmosphere where the studio can freely express creative ideas without fear of blame for mistakes.
Here’s what you can expect from our storyboard company:
- Regular Updates: We’ll provide you with regular updates on the progress for your feedback.
