Picnic Studio

"A diverse group of humans with a shared passion for creating meaningful and imaginative animation"

Picnic Studio was founded by Mina Song and Liam O'Connor. Writer/producer/directors with a passion for fantastical heartfelt stories in a dreamy mix of Asian and European influences.

2D is their first love but they have explored storytelling in VR, live visuals, title sequences and graphic novels. As well as a wealth of commercial work, charity and pro-social projects for AMNESTY, CALM and SPANA among others are a vital part of their reel. Their BBC films on Children's mental health won a National Television award and their musical launch film for Hopster picked up a Kidscreen award for best short film.
