Mohan Subramaniam

Creative & Animation Consultant / Director

Creative Direction • 2D & CGI Animation • Advertising • TV Commercials • TV Series • Short Films • Production & Pipeline Consulting • Mentoring

 

Profile

I am an experienced creative and animation professional offering consultancy, creative direction and production advisory services to animation studios, advertising agencies and production companies.

My experience spans advertising, TV commercials, 2D and CGI animation, TV series, short films, graphic design and illustration, giving me an understanding of both the creative and production sides of animation.

I work particularly well with new, growing or established studios that need experienced external guidance—whether developing a project, strengthening creative quality, establishing an animation pipeline, resolving production difficulties or mentoring creative and production teams.

I am UK-based and available for remote consultancy and selected hybrid assignments across Asia and internationally.

 

Services

Creative Direction & Development

I can support studios from the earliest stages of a project, helping develop the creative approach and ensuring ideas can be translated effectively into production.

Services can include:

• Creative direction and animation direction
• Concept and visual development
• Storytelling and visual communication
• Advertising and TV commercial development
• 2D and CGI animation development
• TV series and short-film development
• Graphic design and illustration guidance
• Reviewing storyboards, animatics and visual direction
• Maintaining creative consistency throughout production

Animation Production Consulting

I can provide an experienced external assessment of an animation production and identify where improvements can be made.

This can include:

• Reviewing animation production pipelines
• Identifying production bottlenecks
• Improving workflow between departments
• Reducing unnecessary revisions and production delays
• Improving communication between creative and production teams
• Reviewing production structures and responsibilities
• Helping studios balance creative ambition, schedules and resources
• Advising management on practical production solutions

Studio Development & Troubleshooting

For start-up, expanding or restructuring animation studios, I can help establish practical systems before production problems become expensive.

I can advise on:

• Studio and production workflow
• Building an effective animation pipeline
• Departmental structure and responsibilities
• Creative review and approval processes
• Production planning
• Quality-control procedures
• Team development
• Scaling a studio for larger productions
• Working effectively with international clients and production partners

I can also provide an independent review when an existing production is experiencing delays, quality problems, repeated revisions or communication difficulties.

Mentoring & Training

An important part of my consultancy work is transferring experience to the studio rather than simply identifying problems.

I can work with:

• Animators and artists
• Animation supervisors
• Creative leads
• Directors
• Production teams
• Emerging studio leaders

Mentoring can be provided remotely through individual sessions, production reviews, workshops or ongoing advisory arrangements.

Advertising & Commercial Animation

My background in advertising and TV commercials allows me to help studios working on productions where creative impact, storytelling and tight production schedules need to work together.

I can advise on creative development, visual execution, animation direction and the practical organisation of commercial animation production.

Production & Pipeline Review
An independent assessment of an existing production workflow with practical recommendations for improvement.

Creative / Animation Direction
Creative leadership or senior guidance for commercials, series, short films and animation projects.

Production Troubleshooting

Studio Start-up Advisory
Helping new animation businesses establish practical creative and production structures.

Mentoring & Training

Hybrid Consultancy
Remote support combined with agreed periods working directly with the studio where appropriate.

Geographic Focus

I am particularly interested in collaborating with studios and production companies across:

India • Malaysia • Singapore • Indonesia • Thailand • Vietnam • Philippines • South Korea • Japan

I am also open to suitable international projects elsewhere.

Initial Studio Consultation

A consultancy engagement can begin with a relatively simple Creative & Production Review.

Through discussions with studio leadership and key creative/production personnel, I can review the current project, pipeline and working practices, identify significant issues and provide practical recommendations.

This allows a studio to experience the value of external consultancy before committing to a longer engagement.

Available for Remote & Hybrid Consultancy across Asia and internationally
