MCA Timber is a creative production company based in Birmingham, UK, designed to serve the evolving needs of modern visual storytelling. With a foundation rooted in fine arts, expanded through CGI, and elevated by artificial intelligence, MCA Timber blends tradition and innovation to deliver end-to-end visual experiences.
From Hand-drawn to AI-powered
What makes MCA Timber unique is its fluency across three generations of creative methodology:
Hand-crafted artistry – Traditional drawing, painting, storyboarding
CGI and digital workflows – 3D modeling, VFX, animation, layout
AI-assisted development – Visual exploration, generative design, motion synthesis
These pillars are combined in the studio’s own HCA Workflow:
Hand-crafted, CGI, and AI — allowing tailored pipelines for every creative challenge.
From A to Z — Full Creative Capability
Whether starting with a raw idea or refining a detailed brief, MCA Timber supports the entire visual production cycle. Services include:
Concept Design & Visual Strategy
Character, Environment & Prop Design
Storyboarding & Layout Planning (2D/3D)
Matte Painting, Styleframes, Moodboards
3D Modeling, Animation, VFX Integration
AI-powered artwork and visual prototyping
Client collaboration via Frame.io and secure platforms
Projects can be approached modularly or from start to finish (A to Z) — from initial sketches to final cinematic outputs.
Confidentiality and Trust
MCA Timber is committed to building long-term partnerships based on clarity, security, and creative alignment. All projects are handled under strict confidentiality, and no materials are shared publicly without the client’s written approval.

International Network & Future Vision
Though based in the UK, MCA Timber actively engages with collaborators worldwide — from Europe and North America to the Middle East and Asia. It’s equipped to manage fully remote productions, hybrid workflows, and multilingual visual content across formats.
As part of its future-forward model, MCA Timber continues to research and apply AI tools for rapid prototyping, content scaling, and new creative dimensions.
CGItems Partnership
In May 2025, CGItems officially became a creative subdivision and content partner of MCA Timber. This integration allows CGItems contributors and clients to directly access production opportunities, submit design work, and connect their artistic portfolios to larger projects.
Moving Forward
MCA Timber is more than a studio — it’s a creative infrastructure for art, design, and production. Whether launching an independent project or scaling a full cinematic production, the studio is built to guide the journey from inspiration to realization.
