Northey and Northey are brothers Chris and Shane Northey. We’re two independent animators from Melbourne, Australia who sit somewhere in between traditional freelancers and a small animation studio. Being from different creative backgrounds allows us to draw on our different skillsets to deliver exciting and engaging animations. Our flexibility allows us to work as either animation specialists as part of a larger creative team, or as a one stop shop working from concept, storyboarding, design, and animation to completion.
We have over 20 years experience creating motion graphics and animations for a wide range of clients ranging from multinationals to boutique businesses. We pride ourselves on our ability to carefully understand the requirements of each project to ensure a fast, smooth, and hassle free experience for our clients.
