About Us
Who We Are
Our mission: Get successful videos Animation made transparently and without the fluff.
One day a Pakistani and an American decided to make an animated video together. This one animation led to many more animations and during the process, they realized there was a better way to run an animation company. They had both experienced the shady schemes: over-priced corporate production companies, limited software solutions, and the spammers offering “too-good-to-be-true” animation. It was time for a better way to get professional, custom made, and beautiful animation.
Our mission extends beyond your happiness. With every paid animation we complete, we ask our clients to choose a nonprofit or business-in-need and we create a free animation for them.

Wanaka Animation Offices
Our producers work remotely. They’re mostly based in New Zealand and our founder Hunter Weeks splits time between Seattle, Washington and New Zealand. We have about 60 animators based in Pakistan and they are led by Umer Ghazali. For certain projects, we may work with animation teams in New Zealand.
Global Reach
Our animations have audiences everywhere and we’ll work with you on multilingual projects as needed. And don’t worry – our team is also accustomed to working various hours to accommodate global time zones. Because a majority of production happens in Pakistan, it sometimes benefits our client’s schedule to have work occurring through the night.
