A Legacy of Storytelling: From Upperstory Film to Upperstory Animation
Founded as a branch of Upperstory Film, Upperstory Animation was born as a natural extension of Upperstory Film, a company dedicated to high-quality video production. During the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses, organizations, and individuals faced a new reality—traditional filming was no longer always possible. Recognizing the need for innovative solutions, we expanded into animation, providing a seamless, emotionally resonant way to tell stories without the constraints of live-action video.
Since then, we’ve honed our craft, working with businesses, governments, and families to create impactful animations and edited videos that captivate audiences and drive action. With our expert animation and editing services, we take your ideas and bring them to life, ensuring they resonate with your audience.
