Studio Projects:

-Saving Chops | 2D Animated Short:
Saving Chops is an original Studio Meala short film commissioned by RTÉ Junior as part of their 'HOME' series. Saving Chops is a simple story of a stray cat, wandering the streets of Kilkenny in search of a home. The short is very loosely based on director Cora McKenna's story, of how she came to meet her beloved pal, also named Chops!

-Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire | Animated Episodes:
Studio Meala were so delighted to take part in two productions “Mkhuzi: The Spirit Racer” and “Hatima” as part of the “Kizazi Moto: Generation Fire” anthology produced by Triggerfish Animation and Disney+. For each short, they handled everything after the development stages of the projects, including storyboards, designs, animation, backgrounds and compositing. All while working closely with the team at Triggerfish.

-Rocket Knight Adventures Re-Sparked | Official Trailer:
Studio Meala were approached by Limited Run and Konami to work on this one for Rocket Knight Adventures. For this piece, they needed to recreate Sparkster in a smooth anime style that would please both old fans and those new to the adventure. Pretty much right away, they decided they wanted to recreate the iconic intro from the international release of Rocket Knight on the Sega Megadrive.
