About Us.
Our Story
FriendMotion is an animation and motion capture studio based in Nanjing, China. Founded on a passion for bringing characters to life, we have spent over a decade working at the intersection of technology and storytelling, serving productions across games, film, television, and virtual experiences.
Our expertise spans motion capture, facial animation, and digital human technologies. We combine advanced production tools with a team of experienced artists who understand that great animation is never just technical. It is about capturing the nuance of human movement, the weight of emotion, and the subtlety of expression that make audiences believe in the characters they see.
Built around a professional studio environment and a proven technical pipeline, FriendMotion is equipped to support productions of any scale. We work closely with global clients to deliver motion capture solutions and animation services that meet the highest standards of quality, consistency, and creative ambition.
From a single performance to a full production pipeline, we are committed to being a reliable creative partner for studios and productions around the world.
