Moviestorm is a developer/publisher from the UK. We make affordable and easy to use 3d animation tools since 2005 that have been used by over 500k amateur filmmakers. 

Our latest product called FirstStage is a real-time collaborative content creation platform that was released in 2023. It is both a previs and planning tool for pre-production (used by Mike Myers for the Dr Evil advert for GM at Superbowl), and a final production tool (used by Soundr for a virtual band performance in the metaverse), depending upon the need. 

Our aim is to allow any creative to take control of exploring and delivering their vision, using affordable and simple-to-use tools. 

Andrew Kennedy and Dave Lloyd are experienced games and software developers with a passion for playing with cutting edge technology to deliver tools that enable creativity.
