PICNIC STUDIO

IN MOTION LONDON 2025 (SOLD OUT)

Picnic is a multidisciplinary studio founded by Mina Song and Liam O’Connor, two writers, producers and directors with a passion for mixing East and West animation styles into flights of fantasy and humour.

Their specialty is character focused animation for originals and advertising, where they also integrate hybrid live action and vfx. Founded in 2013, their work has also ventured into VR, live visuals, title sequences and graphic novels. Their BBC films on children’s mental health won a National Television award and their launch film for Hopster picked up a Kidscreen award for Best Short Film.

Recent work includes projects for J Hus, Beats, Daft Punk with Warren Fu, LEGO, Coinbase,  WeTransfer and The End of the Fucking World with 4Creative.
