What Brunch Studio does

Brunch Studio is a Paris-based animation production studio founded in 2015, operating as part of the Nightshift group alongside production partner Eddy and shared post-production resources. The studio specializes in two core service lines — CG (3D) animation and 2D animation — supplemented by a Visual Development offering that covers concept art, character and environment design, color scripts, and style frames. Productions are delivered using hybrid pipelines that combine 2D environments, 2.5D characters, and CG cameras, with internal directors, artists, and art directors executing visual development to establish each project's artistic direction.

The studio's commercial model is B2B project-based commissions. Clients include major game publishers (Riot Games, Ubisoft, Blizzard Entertainment, PUBG Corporation), consumer brands (Pepsi, Louis Vuitton, Stella Artois, Lidl, Cdiscount, San Pellegrino), and music artists/labels (Gorillaz, Ariana Grande, Christian Rich). Deliverables span cinematic trailers, launch and update cinematics, brand commercials, music videos, and festival-bound animated shorts. Pricing is negotiated per project; no publicly disclosed pricing, retainers, or volume discounts are available, and revenue is not reported.

Go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven: client acquisition flows through direct relationships and production partners such as Eddy rather than outbound marketing, and the studio markets itself via a portfolio website (brunchstudio.tv), a careers page, an annual showreel, and industry recognition including selections at Annecy, St. Louis, and Clermont-Ferrand, plus a César shortlist. The studio is privately held, founder-led (Fabien Cellier as Head of Studio), has 11-50 employees, and shows no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or AI/ML proprietary technology in the available data.
