Studio Capabilities

Broadcast animation from concept to render

Kiana Motion partners with network commissioning editors and IP holders to deliver 2D and 3D animated series built for global broadcast, streaming platforms, and feature releases.

Concept & World Building

Visual development and storyboarding

Our pre-production team translates original literary properties and early pitch documents into comprehensive show bibles, character turnaround sheets, and expressive color scripts designed for immediate pitch viability.

Every sequence is mapped through frame-by-frame animatics with temp audio, ensuring story beats, comedic timing, and narrative pacing are fully locked before main production commences.

Animation Execution

Three distinct animation pipelines

Tailored production workflows built around artistic intention, target demographic visual expectations, and schedule requirements.

2D Traditional
2D Cutout
3D Digital

Frame-by-frame hand-drawn

Rigged vector animation

Stylized Maya production

Classic animator warmth with organic line work and liquid movement, tailored for prestige series and emotionally driven feature sequences.

Advanced character rigging in Toon Boom Harmony providing fluid movement and rapid asset reuse across long-form TV series schedules.

Tactile 3D modeling with custom shader development, combining cinematic depth with the painterly charm of traditional children's book illustration.

Strategic Partnerships

International co-production structures

Work-for-hire execution

Turnkey production service for established showrunners, providing dedicated episode director units, background painting, and final comping.

Treaty co-productions and tax credits

We structure qualified treaty co-productions that maximize regional tax incentives, soft money funds, and broadcast license matching across North American and European territories without compromising creative control.
