Glowing Studio

Glowing Studio has made custom 2D animation from Ho Chi Minh City since 2014. Its work leans on hand-drawn illustration and storytelling, and it takes briefs from brands and musicians as well as developing its own short films.

What Glowing Studio offers

• Custom 2D animation — animated videos made to a client brief, with the tone chosen to suit each story.
• Music videos — animated videos for recording artists, such as "Loving You" by Kimmese and Đen.
• Animated advertising — commercial pieces for brands, including a campaign for Festival Beer celebrating Central Vietnam's festivals and food.
• Short films — self-initiated narrative projects, among them The Confession of Spring, drawn from almost 1,000 illustrations.

Who it works with

The studio's portfolio mixes commercial work, such as the beer campaign, with music videos for artists and its own personal projects.
