About
Based in Glasgow, Axis Animation spent over two decades as one of Scotland's most decorated animation studios. Bringing together producers, directors, designers, artists, and animators, the studio became a trusted partner to major games publishers, crafting high-end trailers and cinematic short films for franchises including Halo, Fable Legends, Need for Speed Rivals, and Alien: Isolation. Their work earned widespread industry recognition, including a Best Animation BAFTA and the Imagina Grand Jury Prize. Founded in 2000, Axis closed in July 2024 with the loss of around 160 jobs.
