Floating Rock Studio

Garrick Rawlingson, Lukas Niklaus, Stephanie Parker, and Laurent Herveic are veterans of the VFX and animation industry, who have banded together and founded Floating Rock! Floating Rock provides high end animation and asset development services. Our core value is creating cinematic experiences with high quality. Our vast experience in styles keeps us pliable for varying projects for film, game cinematics, and commercials. As film artists ourselves, we were tired of moving around the world for short term contracts. We wanted to build a place where we could do what we love in an adaptable space for settled families and nomads alike. If you have a project you want to bring to life or have any questions, shoot us a message here or to hello@floating-rock.com
