Ten After Ten · Independent animation studio

We Make Imaginary Worlds Come Alive.

Original animation, unforgettable characters, and custom animated videos for brands, creators, musicians, and storytellers.

Now showing Reel 02

Three worlds, made here.

Our original productions are where we test ideas, sharpen our craft and find out how far a character can go. Each one has a world, a voice and a website of its own.

Animated Airwaves

Golden-age radio comedy, brought back to the screen. George and Gracie’s original broadcasts — every word, every laugh — now with something to look at.

02 / Uncle Buckles

Observing humanity against his will

Uncle Buckles

An unimpressed alien reports on the human condition — through interviews, satire and a children’s show that is very much not for children.

Rex Glitchman

He isn’t artificial — he finds that term offensive. A super-intelligent life form hiding inside the cities he builds, one step ahead of the corporation that wants him back.

    Animated Commercials & Social Videos

    Short animated ads, product promos, humorous spots and recurring content made for the feed — built to stop the scroll and be remembered.

    Original mascots, recurring characters and fictional spokespeople — designed with a personality, a look and a voice that can carry a whole campaign.

  3. 03

Behind the animation Reel 05

Creativity Meets Craft.

Behind our animated productions is a creative workflow we’re building ourselves. Audio-to-Animation Studio helps bring together dialogue, scenes, characters, animation, and production review.

  • Every line of dialogue mapped to its character, right on the waveform
  • Scenes and shots organized around the original recording
  • Each animated take reviewed against the real audio before it’s kept

The studio Reel 06

A Small Studio with a Big Imagination.

Ten After Ten is an independent studio. We write, design characters, direct, animate and edit — and when the tools we need don’t exist, we build them.

Our original shows began as late-night experiments: a pair of classic radio comedians reimagined as a hound and a fox, a weary alien who hosts a podcast about humans, a super-intelligent life form hiding in the cities he builds. Each one taught us something about timing, performance and character. That’s the craft we bring to every project.

We’re small on purpose. You work directly with the studio making your film, from first idea to final cut.
