ABOUT THE FLEET
FLEET is an independent animation studio based in the Philippines.
We come from different disciplines—advertising, design, filmmaking—but FLEET was never about specialties alone. What brings us together is a shared focus: building animation where story and style are equally intentional.
We operate as a collective—aligned not just by craft, but by where we want our work to go.
STORIES IN MOTION
STORY IN STYLE
We believe animation is at its strongest when story and style are inseparable—and brought to life through motion. For us, style is not something applied at the end; it grows out of the idea itself.
Every project begins with the same questions:
What is the story? What should it feel like? And how should it move?
Whether the result is minimal or expressive, playful or grounded, the goal stays the same: story and style, brought to life through motion.
That’s what we mean when we say Stories in Motion.
Rooted in Pinoy Experience
We’re interested in exploring what Pinoy culture truly is—not as a fixed identity, but as something lived, shifting, and deeply layered.
Our work draws from everyday experiences in Manila and across the Philippines—its contrasts, rhythms, and quiet details—used as texture rather than decoration.
We don’t set out to define what Filipino culture is. We explore it through the stories we choose and the styles we test—using animation as a space to question, mix, and uncover what that identity can become.
What We Do
We create animation across formats and platforms:
​
-
Advertising and branded content
-
Art installations and exhibitions
-
Film and television​​
-
Original IP and experiments
From short-form projects to long-form narratives, commercial or personal, we bring the same focus to every collaboration: clear stories, purposeful motion.

How We Work
FLEET is intentionally small and hands-on.
We work closely with our partners—from early conversations to final frames—because we believe the best work comes from shared ownership and open dialogue. Our background in advertising gives us structure and reliability; our roots in independent filmmaking push us to take creative risks and protect the heart of the idea.
We value collaboration, trust, and long-term creative relationships.
Why FLEET
The Philippines is often positioned as a place where work is executed for others. FLEET exists to help shift that narrative.
Our goal is to build animation that comes from here, speaks honestly, and travels well—work that carries its point of view wherever it goes.
We make stories move.
