Hibernate Studios is an indie animation studio with a focus on highly stylized 3D animations.

We’ve worked with the likes of Dan Bull & The Stupendium, and we’re always excited to hear from other creators for possible collaborations.

We are strictly against the use of generative AI during any part of the creative process for Animation.

The Core Team

  • Alice Smith

    PLUFFYFX

    CEO

    Hibernate Studios was created by Alice Smith in May, 2024.

    She studied & graduated in 3D Character Animation at Animation Mentor, worked at several studios & was a project manager for Dan Bull & The Stupendium.

    She decided to take everything she'd learned at these positions and create her own studio.

    Her interests include all things horror, particularly The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Chucky & Saw!

  • Alfie Montgomery

    BONBUNFILMS

    3D Generalist

    Alfie has been working in 3D since the age of 9 years old, starting with fan animations of Godzilla and Five Nights at Freddy's.

    The same year, she created her YouTube channel "BonBun Films" to share her work. Today, her youtube channel has amassed over 1.5 million subscribers and 500,000,000 views

    In late 2023, Alfie was contacted by Alice to produce a project for Dan Bull. Noticing Alfie's distinct talent and drive while on the project, Alice asked her to be a part of Hibernate Studios as it was being developed.

    Her interests include Godzilla, Pikmin, Don't Hug Me I'm Scared, and all things colourful, kooky, and creepy.

  • Scott Smoker

    CLOUDX

    3D Animator

    Scott began learning character animation after being captivated by Dan Bull's Pigman Rap. Inspecting it frame by frame, he taught himself how to quickly make appealing & cartoony animation. Just 2 years later, he was hired by a studio.

    Alice met Scott while working at an animation studio in 2021, where she was awestruck by the speed and quality of his work. Years later, Scott was Alice's first choice as an animator while she developed the idea of Hibernate Studios.

    His interests include Game Grumps, Minecraft and SpongeBob!
