Brand characters & mascots

The short answer

A brand character is a recurring figure, human or not, who appears across a brand’s films and ads. Mockumentary designs the character with you, builds a reference sheet and character bible, and produces a launch set of scenes in which the character looks, moves and sounds the same every time.

Questions

About brand characters & mascots

How do you keep a character consistent across ads?

Every scene is generated from the same approved reference sheet, and we check each shot against it before it is used. Shots where the character drifts are regenerated.

Can you animate our existing mascot?

Yes, if you own it. Send the existing artwork and guidelines and we build the reference from them.

Who owns the finished film?

You do. On final payment we assign you the rights we hold in the delivered work. We tell you up front about any third-party element, such as licensed music or stock you supplied.
