When we watched Stranger Things on Netflix, we felt something special. The mix of 70s and 80s culture, neon lights, synth music, and emotional storytelling brought back a strong retro vibe, yet felt fresh and modern. At Metavurx Studios Inc., it inspired us to explore how we could create projects in the style of Stranger Things animation that capture a similar feeling. With our experience in 3D animation, motion capture, virtual production, and cinematic storytelling, we strive to help bring ideas to life, whether it’s a short film, advertising animation, or immersive digital content, while always learning and improving along the way.
Stranger Things Animation: Our Creative Production Process
- 3D Modeling – We create characters, environments, and props with attention to detail, aiming to provide a strong foundation for animation. Our goal is to make models that feel alive while staying true to the story.
- Rigging – After modeling, we set up rigs so characters and objects can move naturally. This step helps bring realistic and expressive motion to the animation.
- Storyboarding & Concept Development – Before animating, we plan each scene and shot. Storyboarding helps us think through the visual direction, pacing, and emotional flow, so the story connects with viewers.
- Composition & Cinematography – We carefully consider lighting, camera angles, and scene layout to create the right mood and atmosphere. Each choice is made to support the story rather than just the visuals.
- Motion Capture – Using motion capture technology from Xsens, we record real human movement. This helps our characters feel more natural and expressive while keeping performances grounded.
- Post-Production – Finally, we refine the project with sound design, color grading, and small adjustments that help everything come together. This stage ensures the final result feels polished and immersive.
- Unreal Engine 5 – Throughout the process, we use Unreal Engine 5 to build environments and cinematic scenes. Whether it’s a dark forest, a small-town street, or a neon-lit space inspired by the 70s and 80s, we try to capture a nostalgic yet modern feel without losing the story’s heart.
From Inspiration to Creation
At Metavurx Studios Inc., we’re grateful for the opportunity to work on a wide range of creative projects. Whether it’s a short film, 3D animation for advertising, 3D motion design, AAA art outsourcing, first-person animation (FPS), 3D product animation, 3D anamorphic billboard ads, game development, or virtual production work, we aim to support our clients throughout the full production process. From early concepts to final delivery, we do our best to combine technical knowledge with thoughtful storytelling. We continue learning with every project, always striving to create work that feels meaningful, polished, and true to each client’s vision.
We are inspired by shows like Stranger Things, but we always aim to create original stories and experiences. Our goal is simple: mix nostalgia with innovation. By blending retro themes with modern animation tools, we bring ideas to life in a fun and meaningful way.
We stay humble in our process. Every project is a chance to learn, improve, and grow. Through creativity, teamwork, and technology, we continue to build experiences that feel both classic and new.
That is how inspiration becomes creation.
