HOT DESIGNS In the Art Department at Hot Animation, original designs are taken from inception to completion. The in-house team of Designers and Art Directors work using Computer Aided Design packages or hand-drawn visuals. They also make 3D white card or full colour maquettes, as well as scaled Technical drawings. There is a fully equipped on site workshop where a dedicated team of set builders work tirelessly to bring the designs to life. The Art Directors are also studio based to ensure each production runs smoothly and that the needs of the Animators are easily met.
