We are Keynimation Studios, where creativity is core.

Keynimation Studios is an independent art and animation studio, founded in 2024 by artists looking to make the world a better, more creative place.

The studio is best known for the original series Bountiful Berkeley, which first debuted in 2025 as a web comic. We also offer art and animation services for other artists, creators, and clients.

What is Keynimation?

Keynimation is a portmanteau of “keynote + animation”. The word “keynote” means “core”.

Our in-house productions use a unique technique in creating illustrations and animations—it involves the traditional sketching of an illustration, which are then re-drawn and manipulated digitally through presentation software, such as Apple’s Keynote. Its visual style is reminiscent to that of limited animation seen primarily in the ’60s and ’70s, whilst also preserving creativity.

Keynimation allows for endless creative expressions, whilst also being inexpensive to produce.

Keynimation Studios does not use generative AI. All illustrations and animations are done through the traditional and trusted human craft.
