About us
Founded in 2013 by Evangelo Kouloukythas, Candyshop is a creative production house based in Athens. We take projects from concept to final delivery, ideation, production, editing, motion design, 2D/3D animation, CGI, VFX compositing, sound design, and voice-over, all managed centrally, all under one roof.
The result: tighter schedules, consistent quality control, and zero handoff gaps between phases.
In 2018, we launched The Division, a dedicated advanced effects and CGI department specializing in fluids, particles, creatures, environments, and character work for commercials, film, and digital media.
Our process is AI-enhanced and artist-led. We use modern AI tools to accelerate exploration, approvals, and iterations, so we move faster without compromising the final look. Every frame that leaves our studio is shaped by experienced artists, not algorithms.
Since 1998, we’ve delivered for Coca-Cola, Hellenic Bank, Mevgal, NOYNOY, Aperol, and others. We bring the same craft and discipline to every project, whether it’s a 10-second pack shot or a full campaign.
Our Services
Full-service creative production house, backed by deep post expertise.
We develop ideas, produce shoots and craft the final with editing, CGI/VFX, sound and in-house voice-over studio.
One partner, every stage.
CREATIVE & DEVELOPMENT
Concepts, scripts, storyboards, animatics and visual direction, built to sell the idea fast and execute efficiently.
AI-ASSISTED PRODUCTION
We use AI tools to accelerate ideation, previs and parts of the post workflow, enabling faster exploration,
quicker approvals and efficient delivery. AI supports the process, while creative direction and final craft remain artist-led.
Typical use cases: rapid concept exploration & style frames, storyboards/animatics & previs,
assisted shot prep (clean-ups/rotoscoping support), and smarter multi-format versioning.
PRODUCTION (LIVE-ACTION)
From lean crews with in-house direction to more complex campaigns handled through full production management.
We plan, budget and coordinate shoots with a post-first mindset, capturing exactly what we need to finish beautifully.
POST-PRODUCTION
Editing, finishing and delivery built for tight timelines and multiple versions.
We manage approvals smoothly and deliver broadcast and digital-ready masters with consistency and care.
MOTION DESIGN & ANIMATION
We design and animate brand systems, typography, UI and explainers, creating motion that’s clear,
modern and campaign-consistent across formats and placements.
CGI / 3D
From photoreal product visuals to fully designed environments and simulations.
We build CGI that integrates naturally with live action or stands on its own with strong art direction.
VFX & COMPOSITING
High-end compositing and shot enhancement, from clean-ups and beauty work to complex integrations.
We focus on realism, detail and seamless finishing.
SOUND & VOICE-OVER (In-House)
Sound design, editing and mix, plus voice casting and in-house recording.
Fast turnarounds, consistent quality and clean delivery, all handled under one roof.
