Capabilities

Characters built to move people.

Cabaal is a Netherlands-based animation studio for character-led commercial work. We partner with agencies, brands, and production teams from early visual development through animation, VFX, and final delivery.

01

3D character animation

Expressive performance is at the center of our work. We develop movement, timing, acting, and physical comedy that give characters a clear personality and make campaign ideas memorable.

Character design and development

From the first silhouette to a production-ready 3D character, we shape distinctive casts that can carry films, social content, and longer-running brand worlds.

03

CGI and VFX

We create stylized CGI and integrate animated characters into live action with careful lighting, contact, reflections, compositing, and finishing.

04

Hybrid production

Our core craft is traditional 3D production. We use new and hybrid tools where they genuinely improve iteration, finishing, or problem-solving while keeping art direction and final quality under human control.

In-house direction

With fifteen years of advertising experience, our in-house direction connects strong ideas with the practical demands of character performance, 3D, VFX, and delivery. We can shape treatments, guide animation, and keep the creative intent clear from board to final frame.
