Meind­ben­der ani­ma­tion stu­dio has been an active Swedish ani­ma­tion com­pany since 2006. Meind­ben­der is the result of com­bin­ing the tal­ent of Michael Bengts­son, Olov Bur­man, Calle Haldin and Tony Österlund.

Although they have a vari­ety of styles, the one that caught my eye was a very tac­tile stop-motion-like ani­ma­tion with a real clay feel­ing to it, but hav­ing been cre­ated in Maya it has the ver­sa­til­ity of CG. After their ani­ma­tion test Rab­bit vs Foot­ball (pic­tured above), they got com­mis­sioned by Car­toon Net­work to cre­ate a series of stings for them. I am really wish­ing this becomes the company’s brand style and get it devel­oped further.
