Spider Eye Ltd

Spider Eye Ltd. is a production company based in St. Just, Cornwall.

We specialise in 2D and 3D animation services as well as hybrids combining traditional animation and ink & paint services, composited with 3D environments and characters.

We are a versatile company with extensive experience in short films, feature film sequences, TV series and commercials.

Spider Eye were originally located in Soho, London but relocated to sunny West Cornwall in 2002. This has given us not only excellent working conditions, but has also allowed us to be extremely competitive in our rates. We are able to complete with prices from studios in the Far East but can avoid the logistical and communication problems often associated with working in this way.

We have our own ftp site and a high speed broadband connection, allowing easy transfer of work direct to your studio. This allows comments to be passed to us on work in progress in a matter of minutes.

Whilst able to operate entirely remotely in this way, we are also able to set up a mobile facility within your studio for real client inter-action.
