Your team, but better.

Based in Orange County, California. We embed into your production and collaborate across departments. Always directly working with a seasoned lead, guaranteed.

01 Continuity

Same people, start to ship.

You work with the same senior animators, artists, and leads from kickoff through launch. No middle-men, no revolving door of outsourcing.

02 Self-Producing Lead

The lead is the producer.

Each Well Told lead is both lead contributor and producer. The person you brief is the person you will be working with.

03 Ad-hoc Autonomy

Easily scale as needed.

We provide lean core teams with the flexibility to scale. We can pull in a specialist for a few days, or multiple vetted contributors for entire productions.

Trusted by studio directors
Loved by the whole team.

"Clear, concise communication, high-quality output and reliable production processes are vital to Night School as an agile storytelling studio. The team at Well Told has delivered on every front. I am not exaggerating when I say we trust their crew with just about any facet of our games' production."

Sean Krankel
Studio Director · Netflix Night School Studio

"I can't recommend Well Told highly enough. They delivered an outstanding trailer for SkyStrikers, meeting tight deadlines without sacrificing quality. From day one they were receptive, intuitively grasped our game style, and bent their scope to make every detail align."

Michele Bertoni
Studio Director · Chamber 8

"Well Told was the perfect partner for our animation needs on a recent project. They were flexible, strategic, responsive and insanely creative in their work with us. They scaled right alongside our production and we couldn't be happier with the results."
