Service provider, creative partner.

Hello there. Finger Industries is a creative, hard-working studio dedicated to crafting animation, film, and illustration. We're big enough to cope but small enough to care about each and every project we work on.

Founded by Marcus Kenyon and Jonny Ford in 2002, we have a longstanding reputation for creating compelling visuals and imaginative storytelling. From concept development and scoping, through to creative and production- it’s our approach to the work and to our clients needs which sets us apart. Responsive, flexible, and with honesty and integrity underpinning every aspect of our studio operations.

It’s not just what we do, it’s how we work together.

Our services.

Concept Development

Bringing the idea to life whilst establishing timings and budget for production planning. We consider the entire concept and all the elements within it.

Character Design

From initial style setting through to beautifully designed expressive characters. Coming up with new characters is one of our favourite bits to do.

Illustration and stills

We can do character, typography, digital art, and CG compositing. Crafted with precision.

Pre-Production

Designing all the elements needed. As design develops, we dive into story, movement, flow, cameras, lighting and layout through storyboards, animatics, VO, music and sound design.

Production

From live action to animation, and everything in between. Building characters, scenes and props in 3DS Max, shooting on location come rain or shine, and in the studio for green screen work or shoots.

Post-Production

Editing, compositing, grading, and VFX. Get in touch if you'd like to see what our post-production team can do.

Where can we meet?

The studio still stands proud in leafy Sheffield, serving clients across the globe.

You can meet us in London, New York or in our home town. Our team works on site and at home with the odd appearance of kids, pets and ruffians on screen every now and again. For more information, do get in touch.
