Expanse - Visual effects and Animation

About us

“Hel ved” is Norwegian for solid all the way through.
No veneer. No hollow core. That is how we run Expanse.

For a decade we have built worlds through animation and visual effects. Game cinematics, feature films, commercials and theme park attractions. Work seen in multiplexes, on console screens and in physical spaces where audiences feel every moment.

Our latest project, A Mouse Hunt for Christmas, became the most watched film in Norwegian cinemas in 2025. We created around 500 shots with animated hero characters and visual effects, all from our studio in Oslo, Norway.

We take our craft seriously. Clear conversations about scope, cost and what is actually achievable. No army of middle managers between our clients and the artists doing the work. We come in early — prep, onset, post — and stay until the work is done.

A decade of animation and VFX. Award-winning work across formats and time zones. A studio with the simple belief that craftmanship, directness, and giving a damn will always find its audience..

Let's make something together!
