DEVELOPMENT
What comes together is a really nice collage of ideas, influences and styles, using humour and emotion to to bring together very disparate hand-drawn animated styles into a singular vision, shaped by the people of Norwich and beyond.
AGENCIES
Small Studio - BIG Potential
Cut The Mustard is a tight-knit four-piece team. Whether you need all or one of us, we'll smash your brief.
We've built strong relationships with many agencies over the years, from lending a spare hand on a project to outsourcing it entirely to us. We can adapt to your working speed, style and standards, becoming integral assets to your own pipeline, and allowing bigger studios to take on more projects and grow. We've loved building friendly relationships with other creatives and would love to forge more.
White glove? No problem! Take a look below to see our value:
Shipwatch
£5000 Budget
5 Day Turnaround
Original Assets
A 2025 project created in a tight single week turnaround for a shipping technology provider.
We used the colours, assets and script provided by the agency/client to fast-track the project with rapid feedback and amendments.
In turn, ShipWatch were able to showcase their new product with little notice, and the agency was able to take on a client they wouldn't have been able to without our help.
"You guys are lifesavers, and I think this is the best outcome we could have hoped for for such a tight turnaround project!"
- Client
Being Initiative
£3000 Budget
3 Week Turnaround
Assets Provided
A project made with a recurring agency, Being Initiative is an international mental health charity, backing and supporting a number of projects around the globe.
With provided stock imagery and the manipulation of website illustrations, we were able to bring this mixed-media film to life.
"What a wonderful team to work with. Proactive, creative, flexible, transparent and realistic. I will definitely be working with the Cut the Mustard team again."
- Client
Cancer Community Links
£4000 Budget
6 Week Turnaround
All Original Assets
CCL is a social prescribing service, supporting those living with and beyond cancer. We were trusted by an agency to develop an original visual style from the ground up and help optimise their script for an animation that fit their budget.
We used our unique skill sets to bring life into this project, providing a strong final film to both the agency managing the project and the client.
"They sensitively incorporated the ideas of our clients to realise our co-designed vision - which makes it a really special piece of work which we are so proud of."
