We make films and tell stories, creating characters you love. We create images that engage the senses and emotions... whether it’s television, film, broadcast graphics or advertising, we deliver visual flair and playfulness with care and attention to detail. We want to be your first choice for any type of animation.
In animation, talent is everything. We’re proud of the talented people we work with and aim to evoke a lively, creative atmosphere with room to think and originate, a democracy of ideas.
We believe in our characters and stories and you’ll see it in every frame of our films. We’re proud of every pixel.

Creative Director & part time Raconteur
Joel spent his childhood reading thousands of wonderful Belgian comics and watching badly dubbed Japanese anime on French TV. Later he attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Liege on a dare.
While accidently studying photography and design in England he coincidentally discovered the joys of animation, with a borrowed Super8 camera and assorted lumps of clay.
A passion was born.
Inevitably, he moved to Belfast, were he spent 2 years making “Ciderpunks”, an animated mockumentary on the local Goth scene which happened to win many awards at international animation festivals and generally nice comments.
After doing time teaching animation he established Flickerpix with an aim of producing top-notch character animation for all ages.
Joel likes nothing more than listening to old French vinyl records with a cool glass of Pinot Noir on a hot summer’s night..
Which is why he moved to Belfast.
