outline

FLAT STUDIO is an animation studio that pursues and proposes new values and perspectives in the creation of works. While serving as a foundational "studio" for production, it also functions as an open, multicultural "community." Our business encompasses three core areas: project planning and development centered on original works, commissioned production focused on client work, and management of artists and creators.
