The Line is an animation studio that inspires me because of their ratio of quality of work to size of studio. I feel like I'd perform best in a small studio which I why The Line is a great example to take inspriation from. I got the chance to meet Max Taylor and Tim McCourt at Manchester Animation festival this year, and learn a lot about how to put together a successful studio. Their social media presence is also something to remark about.
I managed to meet them at MAF and managed to speak to Max Taylor to ask a few questions; I found out they started off as a group of freelancers, and spent the first 6 months making animations for their showreel and not earning anything. They pursued ideas they enjoyed, or were interested in, and got paid work from studios that saw them. This is a rough template of what I will attempt to do for my brand in the future.

This animation was widely acclaimed and eventually caught the attention of Jamie Hewlett, which landed them the project of animating the music video for Humility, by the Gorillaz
