However their expertise is corporate and live-shoot commercials (90%), they have produced some occasional explainer videos with great quality (10%).
They are one of the few companies that create cell animation (hand drawn, Disney style).
I wish I could show their work reel here, but their video settings say "Embed Not Allowed".
