We love to make animated films.

At Cardboard Reality every day is a new excuse to build something magical.  We are a full service animation studio, providing our clients with original content made frame by frame to suit their projects needs.  From animated shorts to one of a kind music videos we strive to create evocative digital content that tells stories in new and beautiful ways.
