It’s officially the end of an era. Colorbleed will be closing its doors before the end of 2025.

What a ride it has been.

Since starting out in 2011, we’ve had the privilege of working with brands and clients who trusted us to take ideas further, challenge conventions, and raise the bar with every project. We won awards we didn’t even know existed when we entered the world of high-end advertising and animation as rookies. For us awards never became the goal, though. The focus was always on the craft, strong ideas, and creating animated stories that people actually want to watch - and having fun along the way. Thanks everyone for all the amazing trust in our crazy process.

Most of all, we want to thank the people. The artists, producers, and directors who believed in the work and gave their absolute best, every single time. The quality of what we made together, and the standards everyone set for ourselves, are something we’re deeply proud of. Colorbleed became what it was because of that collective effort. To everyone in the team, you all made this experience worth the ride.

While this chapter is coming to an end, the mindset that shaped Colorbleed continues. We’ve always been driven by curiosity and by pioneering creative workflows across animation, VFX, and storytelling. And that drive doesn’t stop here.

Thank you to everyone who was part of the journey.👋

Slimpie can’t catch a break… The vibe switches from his beloved relaxation playlist to an unexpected party banger in seconds 💡🔊

When the smart hub glitches, the lights go wild and the volume maxes out. Another reminder that skipping updates can turn chill into chaos. Full 3D environment, lighting FX, facial animation. All handled in-house.

To get unlucky Slimpie launched into a (clean, we hope) laundry basket, we started simple: a stand-in dummy, a tripod, and a well-timed dunk by one of the crew 🌀🎯

Everything else — Slimpie, the washing machine, the impact — was recreated in 3D. One practical shot, fully taken over by CG.

Smart devices won’t update themselves… So, beware of rogue washing machines 😵🌀

In this new spot for , Slimpie once again takes the hit for ignoring updates. We handled full CG integration, animation and post, with a healthy dose of schadenfreude.

Slimpie vs. haunted teddy bear 😱🧸 The client brief? Show what happens when smart devices don’t get their updates, and make sure Slimpie pays the price.

(No real teddy bears were harmed in the making of this film)

A new series of “Slimpie - Doe Je Updates”, made with for the Dutch . In four short online films, Slimpie once again gets caught in the chaos because those smart devices still refuse to update themselves. So: do your updates!

We handled the full production from start to finish. From organizing the VFX shoot, on-set direction to managing every stage of postproduction, our team was on top at every step, from storyboard to final render. It was a full-on VFX ride, and a total blast! 🎬💪

We helped McDonald’s Germany turn a seasonal promo into a full-blown theme park universe. Our new breakdown video shows how we built the whole 3D world from scratch — characters, eggs, environments, and a lot of rollercoaster loops 🎢

Brand characters are more than just animated mascots—they're the heartbeat of a brand's story! It's about more than just looking good; it's about making an emotional impact that sticks.

At Colorbleed, we live for these projects! The ones that challenge us, inspire us, and leave an imprint on the audience. Our brand characters don't just appear on screen; they transform a product or service into something people genuinely care about.

As the year comes to a close, we’re proud to reflect on the stories we’ve helped bring to life and excited for the new adventures ahead.
When it's time to tell your brand's story, we're here to make it unforgettable. 💪 🔥

Meet Juckus Fiesus: the prickly, plum-colored bug and the latest addition to the Verfora bug series! This little menace brings an all-too-familiar irritation — just when you're meditating, he strikes with an unignorable itch, stopping you from unlocking your third chakra. With those tiny claws, he’s determined to disrupt your energy flow. Luckily, there’s an ointment for that.

It was an absolute thrill bringing Juckus Fiesus to life! Huge thanks to Boutiq Films and Verfora for this fantastic collaboration.

Let’s get to work! 🚀 For the 2024 Aldi Emoji campaign, we danced in sync with Serviceplan and Red Dust to create a fun, new blue Aldi world, designed to inspire the next generation. Check it out and watch as kids dance alongside 30 dream job emojis, grooving to a cool TikTok dance choreographed by indyvancauwenberg.

The spot was entirely shot in a studio, allowing us to focus on the choreography and interaction between the children and the emojis, while seamlessly integrating live-action elements with a stylistic and minimalistic 3D environment.
