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.
Inspired from the works of painter Taro Okamoto, as well as 1970 World Exhibition, this clip was created starting from handmade draws, which have been modelized, textured and computer-animated.

Hornet, Eddy and Uri Lotan were tapped by RPA to participate in their film series for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. Cancer is scary and overwhelming in itself, but to be diagnosed as a child can be even more terrifying, as well as incredibly confusing. By creating a group of characters called the Imaginary Friend Society, RPA embraced the task and conceived these films to help teach kids about the process of cancer treatment in a compassionate and yet realistic manner.
There is an emotional clarity to Uri’s work and a true intentional craft to his characters' actions. The piece chosen for Uri was Feeling Sad. And what is sadness? It is such a broad topic, yet RPA and Uri did a fantastic job writing the script and developing the direction. We were drawn to this film as it had a depth and an intelligence to its approach to sadness. These are kids that we are speaking to, and yet we do not want to speak down to them, thus the tone of the film had to feel real and honest.
For Hornet, this work was deeply personal. As with most people nowadays, many of our team have been touched by cancer, so there was not a hesitation to dive right in and be a part of it. And being a pro bono film, it was a true investment of our time, Uri's time and the entire studio's time. It was an honorable task to create a film that can help these children navigate the immensity of emotions, and still present it in a tone that is approachable and graspable.
