one and a half is a direction-led animation studio based in Cyprus, founded and led by Yiannis Philiastides.
We create animated films for documentary storytelling, cultural narratives and public communication projects. Working closely with filmmakers, cultural organisations and public institutions, we translate stories, ideas and complex subjects into clear visual narratives.
Our production model is intentionally flexible, assembling project-specific teams from a trusted network of collaborators.
This allows us to scale responsibly while maintaining clarity, cohesion and creative focus throughout each production.
We produce animation for projects that require clarity, structure and emotional weight.
Documentary sequences
Short-form or long-form animated segments supporting non-fiction storytelling.
Cultural and narrative series
Character-driven stories shaped for broadcast, digital platforms or institutions.
Public communication campaigns
Narrative-led animation designed for clarity and engagement.
Research and educational storytelling
Structured visual explanations translating complex subjects into accessible form.
Exhibition and installation content
Spatial or multi-screen animation developed for immersive environments.
Each production is developed with its own visual language, built specifically for the story it tells.
Every project defines its own world.
We begin by understanding its internal logic: the tone, purpose and narrative structure that shape it.
From there, we develop a visual approach that serves the story rather than imposing a fixed style.
We assemble the right collaborators for each production, ensuring flexibility without compromising consistency.
Clear communication. Structured development. Focused delivery.
01 - Understanding
We analyse tone, context and narrative architecture before design begins.
02 - Development
We build a visual language specific to the project — not a recycled aesthetic.
03 - Production
We assemble the right team and execute with clarity and structured communication.
We’d be glad to explore it with you.
