Background Art

From concept to mass production
From the beginning until mass production

Across 5 studios in Japan and overseas, more than 70 background art specialists work for us. Our overseas studios handle only Japanese anime and game projects, so there is no risk of misalignment in quality or style. We can assign experienced Japanese art directors as well, allowing us to take on a project end-to-end as the prime contractor — from kickoff to mass production.

Production highlight

BIG — Taiwanese film, dir. Wei Te-sheng

Creative Freaks produced the animation segments for the Taiwanese live-action film "BIG" (released Dec 1, 2023). Takumi Tanji — art director on "Your Name." and "Suzume" — directed the animation, working with animators from around the world, mainly Italy. The piece vividly depicts the resilience of children fighting illness and their will to live.

Drawing on our background art know-how for anime and games, we deliver animation defined by impressive background art quality.

From pre-production (character design, storyboards, image boards) through animation, backgrounds, and post-production — we cover the full pipeline as needed.

If you're considering animated inserts for live-action films, PVs, or commercials — get in touch.
