Animationsstudio in Luzern – Erklärfilme & Illustration
Welcome to the Papierboot (paper boat) Collective.
We are Anja, Andrea, Geena and Delia – animation filmmakers, designers and captains with a passion for the subtle, the precise, the playful and the unexpected.
For more than ten years, we have been collaborating on projects that inspire, move and convince us.
Why animation?
Animation offers a wide range of technical and storytelling tools to make the invisible or hard-to-grasp visible, communicate complex ideas clearly, and draw attention to what truly matters.
Animated films surprise audiences, evoke emotions, communicate information in a clear and engaging way, and make your message stand out.
What do we offer?
At the heart of our work is audiovisual storytelling.
We develop and produce animation for films, explainer videos, trailers, social media clips and music videos, as well as illustrations for print and digital media.
Technically, we focus on hand-drawn animation, cut-out animation and stop-motion. For tasks outside our own field of expertise (such as sound design and music), we collaborate with specialists from our professional network.
From the first idea to the finished production, we support your project with creative vision and technical expertise.
Already have a project?
We also bring our many years of experience in independent and commercial animation to existing projects and production teams.
We're happy to support you and your team with creative input, technical consulting or individual production stages – including documentary and live-action films featuring animated sequences or elements.
How do we work?
A typical collaboration with us looks like this:
- Briefing / initial consultation
- Proposal and production schedule
- Concept development / storyboard
- Feedback and revisions
- Animation production and post-production
- Sound design and music
- Additional revision rounds if required
- Final delivery
How much does our work cost?
Every project is different, so the scope of work and costs depend on a variety of factors.
Before preparing a quote, we always offer a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your needs and exchange initial ideas.
This allows us to define the best possible framework for your project together.

Our work is protected by copyright. Usage rights define how our clients may use the works we create.
They ensure that our work is not used for purposes we have not agreed to.
Depending on how you intend to use the work, usage rights are calculated based on factors such as audience reach, duration and scope of use.
