I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere thanks to you and your team. I know the project had a tight turnaround, but your team’s expertise in production management and artistry truly exceeded our expectations. Sam’s work was exceptional and left the client thoroughly impressed – in fact, we even got a “WOW!” response!
Commerical Producer @ Big Farmer & Trailer Farm
MLC’s competence in all areas of animation excels in the industry. Nordic Trolls has had an amazing experience working with the team (Rob as lead animator together with Carlos and Jan are amazing to work with, and their creative ideas shine through in our project, while Laura and Hannah keep communication between everyone clear, fun and concise).
Executive Art Director @ Nordic Trolls
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Hannah, Max and a number of superstar artists and animators for the creation of the OTXO Key Art. From the outset they were extremely passionate, professional and totally focussed in ensuring the brief was smashed outta the park! They listened, refined when needed, and executed a stunning piece of work that we’re all so proud of! Fine work MLC
Head of Colours @ Super Rare Games
Solo Dev @ Kobra Game Studios

Head of Colours @ Super Rare Games
I really enjoyed working with MLC. I actually found them on Reddit but contacted them through their website. I was immediately contacted and the communication lines were very prompt. I asked them to do a trailer for my game and the entire process was really smooth. I was able to communicate directly with the video editor through discord and we hashed through the process of creating the trailer together. The end result was exactly what I had envisioned.
I really liked the level of communication they provided as I was able to get feedback and answers within hours.
