SIMILAR DESIGN STUDIO A similar design studio to us is Distant Future animation studios as it contains only six people and their job roles are: Animation director, Creative director, Head of visuals effects, CG artist, Production manager and Motion graphics expert. The reason why we chose this studio is because the job roles of the individuals that work at this studio match our skill set given by a questionnaire on the BBC website.
