Who we are
Ninoc studio is born from the conviction that 2D animation still has much to say. To answer this call we felt that a fresh start was needed, beyond the ring road. So we ventured outside of Paris, into wild lands almost untouched by animation : we settled in Reims.
From here, our full-fledged 2D animation studio is able to support the making of an animated film from A to Z.
This already noteworthy ambition is joined by the will to provide film production companies with our expertise in pre-production, from concept art to storyboarding until editing.
Our priority is to facilitate the production of the film by anticipating costs and needs through, among many tools, the most polished animatic possible.
