Protoplanet  is an award winning, specialized in 2D Character Animation, Design and Illustration in the heart of Berlin. By creating and bringing our own characters to life, we would like to make the world a little friendlier and brighter. We create and animate commercials, explanatory and image films, animation short films & amp; series, music videos, apps, games, animated greeting cards, etc. We love convincing, getting to the heart design, as well as the unexpected and thinking outside the box.

Products, brands and services can be brought into focus more effectively with convincing design and skillful animation conveying information more effectively. Animation combines design, illustration, music, storytelling and drama to create a unique form of expression that appeals to the heart visually, audibly and emotionally. To skillfully combine these trades, a talented and dedicated team is needed, who understands his craft and translates the ideas and wishes of the customers into moving pictures with heart, mind and wit.

We look forward to exciting project inquiries!

And they are the Protoplanets:
