Belly is an animation & motion-design studio

Centered in Vancouver, BC, we're a globe-scattered crew of lovable rebels with a shared mission —

1: Pioneer

As obvious as it sounds, we're passionate about making one-off works. We exist to make bold, original, and innovative creations deserving of the attention they generate.

2: Simplify

Our mania for minimalism isn't just a trend; it's our calling card. Clear digestible narratives journey farthest.

3: Connect

We endeavour to forge an emotional connection with the audience, capture hearts, and create work that lingers in memory.
