We specialize in traditional animation for film and video, but also handle web animation, 3D and 2D graphics, and video editing. Although schooled in film techniques, most of our recent work has been in video and the digital arena. To this end, we use programs like Photoshop, After Effects, 3D Studio Max, Lightwave, Toonboom, and Adobe Flash. All post-production is done in house on our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animatusstudio.com\/whoweare\/services.html#nonlinear\">nonlinear edit systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Major clients include Eastman Kodak, Xerox, Mobil, Crystal Pix, and Corning.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to our work in animation, Animatus produced the documentary <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animatusstudio.com\/subway\">The End of the Line &#8211; Rochester&#8217;s Subway<\/a> and later authored the special edition DVD. Animatus provided editing, post-production, and graphics for two Rochester sports documentaries: <a href=\"https:\/\/singlewingproductions.com\/movies\/aquinas-football\">When Football Was Bigger Than Life &#8211; An All-American Story<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/singlewingproductions.com\/irondequoit-lacrosse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Irondequoit: Lacrosse Town U.S.A.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Animatus Studio is also home to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animatusstudio.com\/workshops\">The Animation Workshop<\/a> where the knowledge and joy of animation is taught to students of all ages.<\/p>\n<div id=\"new-royalslider-2\" class=\"royalSlider new-royalslider-2 rsUni rs-default-template\" style=\"width:100%;height:500px;;\">\n<div class=\"rsContent\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/artsinfocus-animatus.png\" alt=\"Animatus Welcomes You\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/artsinfocus-animatus-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n  \n  \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rsContent\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/fred-armstrong-owner-animatus-studio.jpg\" alt=\"Fred Armstrong\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/fred-armstrong-owner-animatus-studio-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n  \n  \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rsContent\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/bujuziggieinstore450.jpg\" alt=\"Buju and Ziggie\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/bujuziggieinstore450-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n  \n  \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rsContent\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mikeysafe450.jpg\" alt=\"Mikey Makes It Out\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/mikeysafe450-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n  \n  \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rsContent\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/lasersportspromo450.jpg\" alt=\"Laser Sports\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/lasersportspromo450-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n  \n  \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rsContent\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ipad_shark.jpg\" alt=\"Fear Shrinker\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/ipad_shark-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n  \n  \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rsContent\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/asperata1.jpg\" alt=\"Asperata\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/asperata1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n  \n  \n<\/div>\n<div class=\"rsContent\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCN0167-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Anniversary Show\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/animatusstudio.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/DSCN0167-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n  \n  \n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out more about our Animation Workshops!
