Have it all in one hand!

Photography. Video. animations. Graphic design. Banners. Visuals. Graphic recording.
 

At the core of our work are two permanent team members, Doti and Zsolt, working closely together across projects.

Over the years, we’ve also built a trusted network of contracted specialists—photographers, videographers, animators, and designers—whom we involve when projects require additional scale or specific expertise.

This structure allows you to work with one main point of contact, sign one contract, and rely on one responsible partner, while still accessing a full team when needed.

By combining our strengths and extending them with the right experts, we offer fully integrated visual solutions—with advantageous package pricing for combined services.

One vision. One team. One seamless visual experience.

This was my second EU Youth Conference as a graphic recorder—the first in Ghent under the Belgian presidency, then Hungary.

This project plan illustrates a development initiative in Africa. The Academy and surrounding facilities aim to provide opportunities for students to learn while fostering a sustainable, tourist-friendly environment.

Animated
videos

This section features a curated selection of recent animation projects by Doti. Each example represents a different approach in terms of style, production time, and budget, showing the wide range of solutions available.

While AI is rapidly entering the animation field, the overall quality of fully AI-generated animated videos is still limited. That said, we already use AI strategically to accelerate workflows and increase cost-efficiency—without compromising creative quality.

The result: thoughtfully crafted animations that balance speed, budget, and visual impact, always guided by human creativity and professional judgment.

Animation
Frame-by-Frame

This fully hand-drawn digital animation, created by Doti for UNICEF and Key Aid Consulting, brings each frame to life with many details, delivering a seamless and captivating visual experience.

The voiceover and music was provided by KeyAid Consulting.

Animation
Whiteboard style

This fully hand-drawn digital animation takes a different approach. Whiteboard animation offers a faster, more cost-effective solution for clients seeking quick results, while still delivering engaging and visually appealing content.

The VoiceOver was provided, but the text  and music was created and added by Doti

Animation
Short Clips – GIFs

 

This series, created for the EU4Youth #FairEmployment campaign, consists of 15 fully hand-drawn digital animations. The GIFs were used across various online platforms to increase engagement among young people.

The colour palette was provided by the project partner.

Photography

Zsolt anticipates the needs of event communication teams, sharing a first selection of photos already during the first coffee break in the morning  and delivering updates throughout the day, with the full set ready by the end of the day.

Team Members

We come from similar yet very different backgrounds. Years ago, our youth organizations began collaborating, and we instantly clicked. We each had creative side passions—Doti in illustration and graphic recording, Zsolt in music and photography.

Over time, our friendship grew into a strong partnership in both life and work, and today we proudly run our enterprises and the Budavári Association in Iváncsa, where we live.

Graphic Recorder, Illustrator, Animator

Stratégiai projektfejlesztésből érkezem, ahol évekig tanultam meg figyelni, rendszerezni és a lényeget megragadni. Ez a háttér természetes módon vezetett a vizuális jegyzeteléshez, ahol ma összetett gondolatokat teszek érthetővé és vizuálisan követhetővé.
