FableVision

Learning games, animation and media for public broadcasters and museums

Learning media is the focus of FableVision Studios, a multimedia production company. Animation, games, apps, AR and VR experiences, websites and audio are all made with the aim of teaching and motivating their audiences. The studio says it has about 25 years of collaborative development behind its work.

Its collaborators include broadcasters, publishers, non-profit organizations, research groups and museums. Among the names it lists are PBS, the Smithsonian, MIT and the National Geographic Society, and it has also worked with the Jim Henson Company and Nick Jr. Contracts run from small, iterative commissions to multi-year projects that are research-based and grant-funded.

Apps, games, animation and websites

The studio's apps, games and interactives include AR, VR, web and mobile experiences, taken from initial concept through to finished product. Its art and animation team produces 2D concept art and established 3D characters and worlds. Websites are built with mobile-friendly, tailored visual design and are meant to meet modern accessibility standards.

Its games include titles for young players, among them an interactive fractions game made with a public media partner and a research-based learning game that launched on a major online platform. Its kids' and families' audio team builds on properties that already exist and creates new ones.

Strategy, original shows and awards

FableVision offers strategy and media design, helping clients extend an existing property or define an approach for a new product. A separate group, which it calls moonladder, creates, develops and produces long and short-form original shows. The studio lists honours including Webby Award honorees for podcasts and apps, several International Serious Play Awards, Anthem Awards, a Public Media Award and an EdTech Award for a new product.

The studio's team, it says, is built around a shared mission of creating positive media, with artists, developers, animators, designers and project managers working together on long and short projects.
