2D Animated Advertisements

Driven by the pen and the concept

At Troublemakers, 2D animation is a language: a narrative, graphic and emotional tool designed to serve brands. Every 2D advertising film we produce is conceived as a distinctive piece, where line, rhythm and direction matter just as much as the message.

Based in Paris, Troublemakers is a production studio specialising in 2D animated advertising films and animation. We create custom illustrated films, driven by strong art direction and a clear narrative intent.

A 2D Animation Studio in Paris, Driven by Artists and Design

Troublemakers brings together directors, illustrators, animators and art directors from the worlds of cinema, graphic design and animation. We collaborate with artists known for their distinctive visual universes and their ability to tell stories through imagery.

Our approach is based on a simple belief: an illustrated advertising film works when it has a clear visual language, a point of view and a strong aesthetic coherence. Style is never merely decorative — it is at the heart of the story.

2D Animation as an Advertising Language

2D animation makes it possible to create unique graphic worlds that are immediately recognisable. It offers a wide range of possibilities in terms of tone, rhythm and style, while remaining clear and memorable.

Through 2D animation, brands can simplify complex messages, explore abstraction, humour or poetry, and adapt their advertising films across every medium: TV, web, social media or DOOH. The visual language can evolve; the story remains.

At Troublemakers, we explore a broad range of aesthetics: traditional drawing, digital illustration, flat design, frame-by-frame animation and 2D motion design. Every project calls for its own visual language.

Troublemakers’ 2D Expertise

Our Paris studio specialises in the production of 2D animated advertising films. Every project benefits from bespoke art direction, developed in close connection with the brand’s identity.

Our teams oversee the entire production process: illustration, animation, compositing, visual effects, lighting and rhythm. Our storytelling draws as much from cinema as from graphic design, with particular attention to detail and emotion.

Troublemakers is an advertising film studio where art, storytelling and production excellence come together.

The 2D Animated Advertisement Production Process

Every 2D advertising film is developed collaboratively, with particular attention to the relationship between content and form.

The project begins with a close understanding of the message and values of the brand. This is followed by the concept and art direction phase, where the graphic style, tone and visual approach are defined.

The storyboard structures the narrative and rhythm of the film. Animation then brings the images, lines and movement to life. Post-production completes the film with sound, music and mixing, resulting in a fluid and precise final piece.

This process ensures an animated advertising film that is coherent, clear and distinctive.
