That starts with bringing stories, characters and entire worlds to vivid life through creative, world-class talent. Our driving aspirations are to entertain, educate and inspire both our clients and their audience. We are a new kind of studio for a new world. New demands and new innovations in the animation industry call for a studio where the right talent, creativity and resources collaborate to bring projects to awe-inspiring life. A place where flexibility and scalability is key. At Urban Voyage Studios, we built our New Zealand animation studio to fulfill this need in real time. We harness a flexible workforce and ample production experience, combining it with access to substantial subsidy funding (PDV, R&D, Co-productions), and smart technology solutions to leverage our substantial creative resources on behalf of our clients. We operate with a clear purpose – to reduce production costs, improve overall creative cycle efficiency and provide significant cost savings for your project. Urban Voyage Studios provides clients with new ideas, highly motivated teams, more efficient communications, enhanced control and improved project visibility, as well as effortless switching between hibernation and activity for studios. A New Business Model At Urban Voyage Studios, we offer a new way to approach your project needs. We innovate through removing overhead and other budget-eroding costs for big studios and providing resources, talent and creativity where and when it is required. We achieve this goal specifically through minimising the costs of finding, employing, managing and organising production resources. New Zealand Urban Voyage Studios is a 2D/3D Animation company specialising in design and pre-production services for film and television. It's no coincidence that New Zealand has a reputation as one of the world's premier locations for screen productions – Avatar, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Trilogies, to name a few. It isn't just the scenery that draws worldwide clients to our beautiful country – it's the wealth of talent here, as well. Urban Voyage has existing industry relationships, production experience, and a unified local talent collective so that you can benefit from this smart NZ production trend as well. Access to Funding As a New Zealand-domiciled production company, we have access to substantial subsidy funding to contribute to production finance. This access ranges from 20% to 40% of domestic spend. Completed Projects: Darwin & Newts Darwin and Newts is a new animated series for pre-school kids about two New Zealand brothers' passion for inventing, science and discovery. Taking their names from the famous scientists Charles Darwin and Sir Isaac Newton, these young scientists' natural curiosity takes them on new journeys as they create, build, construct and find solutions to their adventure challenges. Through trial and error, the audience is led on a fun journey of trial and error that weaves early-learning science logic within the stories. Empowering kids to feel smart, learn by doing, and engage with the physical world around them. New Zealand companies Whitebait Media, TOONZ, and Urban Voyage will be making the series for NZ children with the potential for international sales.
