Moondog Animation
“But no matter the subject matter, our mission is always to deliver engaging stories, with compelling characters, rendered with the utmost expertise and quality.”
Mount Pleasant, SC
The Charleston Lowcountry is the new home to Moondog Animation Studio, a feature lm company currently working out of o ces located on Highway 17 in Mount Pleasant. Studio founders, Bryan Ransom, Jean-Marc Khayat and
Ben Davis, moved Moondog from France two years ago. Ransom, the company’s CEO and producer, believes the move was a good one for the company, and the founders plan to stay in the area. “It’s like coming back home for me,” states Ransom, a native of Georgetown, South Carolina. “We believe Charleston will allow us to build what we want to build and that Charleston, which has historically embraced the arts,
has a place for us because we are unique...we’re equal parts lm, art and technology. When you combine that with the fact that we’re seeing a surge in lmmaking here, I think we’re
in a great place to ful ll our dreams. Also, the tech scene is growing and evolving into what we need as a basis for our work.” The passion and drive of this three-man creative team is obvious in the high-tech, high-energy open environment of the studio. That, combined with their extensive experience
in the animation industry, position Moondog as a force to be reckoned with in the future of animated feature lms.
