About
Lapino Albino
Crafting compelling video stories that connect.
More than 15 years of making things worth watching.
Lapino Albino started in 2010 with one goal: to make videos and animations that people actually want to watch. Not productions that fill a slot in a presentation. Not corporate videos everyone skips. Real productions that communicate something and leave an impression.
That goal has not changed. We started in video production, moved into 2D animation and over the years grew into the specialist 3D animation studio we are today. Along the way we invested seriously in research and development, built deep expertise in 3D animation and SFX … and pushed the quality of our work forward with every project.
Today we are an internationally recognised, award-winning studio. We have built long-term partnerships with brands and agencies who keep coming back, which we think says more than any award.
We’ve worked for these companies… but that doesn’t really matter. We would love to work with any ambitious brand!
Los Lapinos
Who are they?
We are a small, experienced team based in Gembloux, Belgium. We work in Dutch, French and English. Between us we cover every part of a production, from the first idea to the final frame and the sound that makes it land. We are Blender specialists and we are proud of that. It is a genuinely powerful tool and knowing it well gives our clients better results at lower cost.
But not only that… We try to find solutions within any budget. We experiment with AI creation and the latest developments in audiovisuel production.
Niels Aernouts
Co-founder – Director and Script
Niels trained as a documentary director at RITCS in Brussels and has spent more than 20 years directing audiovisual productions.
Although he is a non-fiction specialist, he has proven to be a good storyteller all over. He sees non-fiction as stories formed from texts on a pre-written page, where fiction starts from an empty one.
He is a story specialist: writing the scripts, directing the voice actors, supervising the edit and making sure the final film actually says what it is supposed to say.
He is also one of the two founders of Lapino Albino, which he started in 2010 together with Sylvain.
Sylvain Dupagne
Co-founder – Head of Production
Sylvain studied image at IAD and has since built a career that crosses the line between filmed and animated work. He is the person most responsible for how a Lapino Albino production looks. He directs photography on live action shoots, builds 3D animations and composites the two together when a project calls for it.
He is also the creator of the original characters that appear across our Narrative work. His ability to both film and animate is rare, and it makes him invaluable on hybrid productions where the two have to sit seamlessly together. His work has been recognised at Cannes.
Sylvain co-founded Lapino Albino in 2010 and has shaped the visual identity of the studio from day one.
Erwin Quinzin
Project Manager – Sales – Communication Specialist
Erwin studied communication at HEC and joined Lapino Albino out of genuine enthusiasm for what the studio was building. He manages the relationship between the studio and its clients, keeps projects on track and makes sure that what gets delivered matches what was agreed.
His role is to be the clearest point of contact in the process: someone who understands both the creative work happening inside the studio and the real-world needs of the client outside it. His energy and good humour are something clients mention regularly. He is also the person who makes sure the budget stays where it should.
Jonas Wilmart
Senior Animator
Jonas trained in 3D animation at Albert Jacquard and has since added motion design and 2D animation to his skills. He is the person who takes what exists on paper or in concept and makes it actually move. If something is static, Jonas is the one who brings it to life.
He works closely with Sylvain on all animation productions, and has a particular talent for environments and scene composition. The landscapes in the ZF Wind Power Thrive series are his work. His technical precision combined with a strong visual instinct makes him a key part of what Lapino Albino can deliver.
We believe we can make a great video on any subject.
Be it for cinema worthy company movies, a small business presentation or a smart animation video, Lapino Albino has all the right tools to get the job done.
But how does it work?
First, we need a good briefing. It is crucial to us to know what is expected of the video. We want to know all about you, the company, the message you want your video to carry out and what styles you like. You might already have some ideas on what you’d like, or maybe you did some research online, browsing videos to find different styles…
every great story starts with a simple Hi
