Titmouse is an animation juggernaut – that’s a simple fact.
If you've seen a cartoon in the last few years personified by wild energy, boundless creativity, and an irreverent, off-kilter tone, then there’s a strong chance that Titmouse’s imaginative animators had a hand in it.
Founded by president Chris Prynoski and his wife, vice president Shannon Prynoski, Titmouse has pumped out some of the most memorable and hilarious shows on TV: from Adult Swim’s Metalocalypse and The Venture Brothers to Comedy Central's Moonbeam City and Disney XD's Motorcity. The studio has recently earned a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Animated Program for Niko and the Sword of Light, an animated comic book for Amazon.
And while its creativity has grown in leaps and bounds over the last 15 years, Titmouse’s real estate has developed too – the company now spans three studios in animation hotspots Los Angeles, New York City and Vancouver.
Across these three studios – and with the help of a raft of global freelancers – Titmouse exhibits an almost endless capacity for creativity, often juggling several in-house and commissioned projects at once. Ensuring a level of consistent innovation and quality is a challenge, but with cineSync, the studio can ensure each and every shot has as much trademark Titmouse dynamism as the last.
Keeping things close
An important tenet of Titmouse’s set-up is promoting a close-knit culture within – and indeed across – each of its studios.
Early on, when Titmouse was based solely in Los Angeles, watching dailies was part of the everyday schedule – the entire staff would pile into the conference room to check out the latest footage, compare notes, and discuss techniques. And even today, with Titmouse growing on a global scale, this practice remains in place.
