01 / CREATIVE RANGE
One part or the whole thing.
Come with a brief, a half-formed idea or a finished script. The studio can take on a single stage, or carry the whole project from concept to delivered campaign.
ABOUT / HOLY CRUSTACEAN STUDIO
From first thought
to finished thing.
Holy Crustacean is the independent studio of creative director and filmmaker Keir Fernie. Ideas, direction and hands-on production, with the same person in charge of all three, so nothing gets lost between the brief and the delivery.
SUFFOLK, UK / INDEPENDENT CREATIVE STUDIO
THE APPROACH
The idea decides the method.
Creative concepts, films, animation, websites, identities and campaigns. Production mixes live action, design, VFX and generative tools in whatever proportion the idea calls for; the new tools make the work faster, not the thinking.
02 / HOW IT WORKS
One lead. The right people when needed.
Keir leads the creative and signs off the work, bringing in producers, directors, designers, animators and specialists as each job needs them. Small jobs stay small; bigger ones get a bigger crew.
03 / WHERE AI COMES IN
Faster, not instead.
Generative tools take on the jobs that used to eat the budget: product stills, previs, alternate versions, the hundredth frame of an animation. The idea, the direction and the taste are still people’s work, and every frame goes out through the same pair of eyes as everything else.

Experiments. Games. Strange ideas.
Labs is the studio's own work: an image-eating parasite, a browser game and a three-wall Moby-Dick, shown while they are still being made.
