We are storytelling experts.

Beakus has crafted stories with animation since 2010 when experienced director and producer Steve Smith opened a boutique studio in London.

Now based in Lewes, near Brighton (UK), we are proud to be a member of Animation UK.

Our ethos has always been to twin the right talent to the right project, putting together a bespoke team for the best outcome.

We believe AI can be used to supercharge human creativity, but not replace it. We wrote an article about that.

We pride ourselves on delivering on-time and on-budget.

We are award winners.

Our work has won awards and been featured at animation festivals right around the globe.

We make more than just TV series.

Series Development

We love devising concepts for kids series. We’ve made our own shows, but we can also work with a producer on their show.

Co-Producer

We can work with you as a co-producer, bringing on-board UK talent and UK tax credits.

Service Company

We can provide animation services, with a particular strength in pre-production - concept, script, design, storyboard, animatic - and post-production - casting, voice record, music and sound design.

Explainers

We are adept at crafting stories that educate an audience, whether kids or adults. We can provide a complete end-to-end service for NGO’s, museums, galleries, brands and organisations. We’ll help explain your service, brand, or event.

Commercials

We can also craft short commercial films for your client or brand, on-time and on-budget, whether for digital or analogue broadcast.
