COVERT

PLAYGROUNDS IN MOTION LONDON 2026

Covert is an independent, people-first creative studio making waves in the world of VFX, CG, animation, and colour. They are remote-first, collaboration-obsessed, and officially one of Televisual’s Top 10 Facilities of 2025.

Covert is looking for artists with a strong creative eye and the drive to do great work from anywhere. They’d like to work with people who are genuinely excited to put new technology to work.

“Talent is only half of it. We’re a people-first studio, so we care as much about who you are as what you make. Real people, good humans, the right kind of energy. Unique, talented, a little obsessive about the work.”

Covert joins the Industry Garden for Portfolio Reviews (on-site registration required). Read more about portfolio reviews here.
