Giant Ant is a global motion & film agency, with clients including Duolingo, OpenTable and Microsoft.
About Giant Ant
Founded in 2007 by Jay Grandin and Leah Nelson, Giant Ant is a motion & film agency based in Vancouver. Past clients include Duolingo, OpenTable, Microsoft, HoYoverse and Rover.
Giant Ant is routinely named by motion designers as the studio they'd most like to work at, and the work explains why: OpenTable's 2026 brand campaign, Duolingo spots that balance adorable and unhinged, and short films (The Last White Rhino) made purely because they should exist.
The Vancouver studio's signature is warmth, animation that feels human rather than technical. They're selective and small, which is precisely why the quality never dips.
