Mike & Payne

Driven by their mutual fascination with film, animation, anime, design, action and motion, directorial duo Mike & Payne come as a powerful unorthodox pair with no limitation on their medium or platform. They combine forces to create across 2D and 3D animation entwined with live-action.


Having been long-term friends throughout their career, they established an all but unique dynamic when they decided to come together to evolve their widespread skillset. Through explosive visuals and quirky characters, Mike & Payne make impossible things happen in incredible worlds. They embrace their dark side and use this to their advantage, injecting a visceral energy into the body of their work through their non-existent creative boundaries.


The pair has directed projects for a wide variety of clients including Adidas, Spotify, Nike, The Walking Dead, Honda and Jaguar.
