Let's create together

Concept & Art Direction

We help with the creation and development of your ideas, with a particular focus on both narrative and visual appearance. We use both human and ai to build ideas that transform culture.

3D Visualization & Simulation

We combine creative design and technical skills to build infinite possibilities for your products. We use Cinema 4d, Redshift and Houdini to create bespoke simulations and immersive visualisations that bring your project to life.

Motion Graphics & 2D Animation

We combine design and animation principles to create beautiful movement over every frame. We use after effects, toonboom, and adobe animate to craft our motion. We create traditional cell animation, fluid 2d/3d motion design and 2d character animation.

3D Animation & CGI

We look for design orientated approaches to our animation and specialise in lighting, texturing and camera work. We upscale for character animation. We work in Cinema 4d, Blender, Redshift, Octane and Arnold.

Live Action & Visual Effects

We upscale for VFX and Live Action to build teams that are integrated and flexible. We work with VFX artists, producers, directors, editors and colorists to produce meaningful post production and film. We pull focus on the narrative and stretch pixels for the imagination.

Branding Design & Illustration

We help build brands that communicate effectively. Our in-house teams collaborate with Brands Globally to deliver messages on a diverse creative spectrum. We team up with artists, creative agencies and business as we help them increase revenue, expand brand awareness, and build better communities.

Testimonials

The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi have worked with Quite Frankly since 2017. Over this time they have been an integral part of the marketing efforts of The Arts Center. Even with their team in South Africa we feel they are an integrated part of our team. Their creativity and attention to detail have never faulted; they always rise to the challenge, pushing boundaries and delivering the highest standard of work both creatively and for ongoing production.

Snap’s AR Creative Studio, Arcadia, worked with Quite Franckly on a recent project bringing the history of Notre Dame to life in augmented reality. Through an extremely collaborative process, Quite Franckly developed a suite of beautiful animated assets that have been used to hero the project in both press and social media. Grant’s deep experience in advertising coupled with his passion for the details helped us get the best output possible.

It’s always a pleasure to work with Grant and his team. He comes with great energy, positivity and brings along a great POV that is valuable to the success of our projects. Throughout our collaboration, he demonstrated a remarkable commitment to delivering high-quality results always on target with client feedback. Quick to acknowledge and implement the necessary changes at any point during our workings. His team consistently maintained clear and open lines of communication, ensuring that all parties involved were well-informed and aligned on project goals and progress. We look forward to working with Grant again soon!

Grant and the Quite Franckly team consistently produce super high quality work for all types of customers and deliverables. They’ve worked with a number of our customers, all of whom have been impressed with their knowledge of design and ability to execute complex 3D visualization to top notch 2D animation.

As a creative director, the pressure and challenge to come up with the best creative solutions all alone can take a lot of time and energy. In working with Grant and Quite Franckly I had a team of creative sparing partners, where ideas and concepts are shared and built together. The experience felt like an extension of my own team which always brings on the best work
