Compositing, environment extensions, and invisible effects for film and television. Twenty-five years of studio craft behind every shot — now moving at generative speed.
→Concept through final delivery for brands. Generative footage, motion design, and finishing under one roof — the look of a full production company, without the footprint.
→Original animation from proof-of-concept to feature development. One studio carries the story from first board to final render — production-grade at every stage.
→Work that pushes what the medium can do. Experimental narrative, music videos, and festival-ready shorts where the tools are new but the filmmaking is not.
→Short-form content and brand identity designed for the feed — scroll-stopping reels, motion graphics, and a visual voice that carries from post to post. Built for the algorithm.
→Internal comms, product launches, and brand storytelling that don't look like corporate video. Cinematic polish on a business timeline.
→Animal Style AI is the independent studio of Douglas Yoshida, Founder & Creative Director — a VFX artist and Gen AI specialist with more than 25 years across DreamWorks, Digital Domain, Sony Pictures Imageworks, and Amazon Studios.
Visual effects credits include Stranger Things, the Matrix sequels, Shrek, Star Wars series and Marvel films. Now, with Animal Style AI, the same eye is applied to AI filmmaking.
