Your story, made tiny and adorable.
We turn you and your people into little animated characters, then tell your story in a short film. Invitations, proposals, birthdays and more, directed by a real filmmaker.
Pick your moments
Every little milestone gets its own scene.
Choose the ones that matter to you and add your own. Each one becomes a short, cute scene in your film.
How it works
From photo to film in four easy steps.
Tell us your story
Answer a short questionnaire and send a clear photo of each person.
Meet your characters
We build your tiny cartoon selves. You approve them before anything is animated.
Watch your draft
Your story, music and invite details come together. One revision is included.
Share the joy
We deliver your final film in the format you chose, ready to send to everyone.
7-day turnaround, counted from when your answers are in and your characters are approved.
Photo to character
See how close we get.
We match hair, eyes, glasses, beards and that one smile only you have. If it doesn't feel like you, we adjust until it does.
Sample photos created for this demo. You approve your characters before we animate a single frame.

Why Little Story Studios
Small and cute, made with real care.
Directed by a real filmmaker
Every story is written, directed and edited by hand by a filmmaker with 500+ productions. AI tools help draw the characters, but they don't make the decisions.
Your faces, your story
Characters are built from your own photos, and the story comes from your answers: how you met, what you love, your inside jokes.
Film and page, together
Pair your story with a matching invitation page, with details, map, run sheet and RSVP all behind one link.

About
Hi, I'm Alper.
I'm a Melbourne filmmaker with 15+ years behind the camera, 500+ productions and a few years lecturing cinematography at Victoria University. Little Story Studios is what happens when a wedding filmmaker falls for tiny, adorable characters.
I use AI tools to help bring your characters to life, then I direct, edit and check every story myself, so it feels like a real film made for you.
FAQ
Good questions.
What do you need from us?
Your answers to a short questionnaire, a clear front-facing photo of each person, and your event details.
Do you use AI?
Yes. We use AI tools to help draw and animate your characters, and every story is directed, edited and checked by hand. We're always happy to tell you what we've used.
What if we don't like our characters?
You approve them before any animation starts, so we adjust until they feel like you.
How many changes can we make?
One revision round on your draft is included. Extra rounds can be added if you need them.
Which formats do you deliver?
You choose vertical or landscape when you order. Getting both is an easy add-on.
What happens to our photos?
They're only used to make your story. We delete them 30 days after delivery unless you ask us to keep them.
Can we share it with our guests?
Yes. You get the film file and a link to share, and a matching invite page with RSVP if you add one.
Do you make stories for other occasions?
Yes. Save-the-dates, proposals, birthdays, anniversaries, baby announcements and more.
