About Pinreel and how we work“Even though I don’t personally work in CG software, I was able to communicate with my team by directing through the lens of 2D fundamentals… merg[ing] the classic 2D principles I’d learned from some of the best artists and directors in the industry with a group of highly skilled and adaptable CG generalists.”
In development
Original Series and Features
Over the past two years, we’ve developed a slate of series and features for kids, teens and adults, each with its own story, characters, production design and style of animation. We’re taking them to the major studios this year, and we’re also open to independent financing and international co-productions.
Adam writes, directs, designs and produces, and every project gets a pipeline built around it and a crew to match: specialists from around the world alongside new artists we train.
