About Us

Think about the animations you watched when you were a kid, didn't you think they had a sort of magic in it?

Animancers was born as an animation studio formed by four amazing students at the University for the Creative Arts in Rochester with the purpose of making that magic endure over time. 

The Name

Animancy is the ancient magical art of manipulating animation, therefore animancers, according to the tradition, are the ones who practice it. We are puppeteers that control the strings.

Logo

The inspiration behind our logo came as the answer to the question of 'what would an animancer wear?'. A hat represents the mind where concepts are born and at the same time is a symbol of the philosophical and magical tradition.

The hands, on the other hand, represent the medium that allows us to get our precious concepts out on the physical plane. Hands are the tools of the will of the mind.


Our Vision

The goal of all animancers is to bring that magic to animation, being capable of giving light positive energies to the public.

A Surprise Party The character enters home for their surprise but no one is there. Normal party but all the guests are on the ceiling and the character is surprised. The character opens the door to all his friends and family, but gets surprised and scared, then runs away. Surprise party but when the lights flicker off the guests disappear then reappear when they come back on (continuous loops of "surprise" being shouted). Strangers that actually like to show up at other ...

Robbery Skit · Evolution

Since picking our prompt some of our ideas have gone through a lot of different changes. This is just a brief run down of how we developed our ideas and got to where we are at.  Location: Alleyway Street Stage with building and Alley props  Victim:  Victim female Victim becomes the robber and robs the original one (abandoned idea) Mary Poppins like bag, robber keeps pulling more and more ideas out  Banana phone pulled from bag confusing the robber (accompanying chosen)  Trampoline used as another ridiculous object to be pulled out, further confusing the robber  Robber hands balloons to victim which he pulls out her bag and she floats away  Police Badge Pulled out of the bag by the robber, causing the robber to run away ( chosen idea) Robber:   Gets angry and snatches victims bag  Climbs into the bag, disappears and bag gets picked up/taken away  Pulls out police badge, realises victim is a polic...
