About

Modern Uprising Studios is a next-generation animation studio specializing in original films, television series, alternative media, and animated advertising campaigns.

A wholly owned subsidiary of Toro Science, we are powered by cutting-edge AI and visualization technologies developed by a world-class team of machine learning engineers and creative technologists.

Our founder, Joe Nolan, a pioneer in 3D animation and motion capture, has contributed to more than 50 AAA video game titles—including the Grand Theft Auto franchise—before selling his original studio to Rockstar Games. Now, Joe has taken his experience and fine-tuned the technology innovation into Modern Uprising.

Today, Modern Uprising has built upon this success to blend creative storytelling with advanced production tools to bring imaginative worlds, characters, and stories to life with unmatched speed, precision, and artistry.

Philosophy

We believe in the power of animation to inspire, entertain, and transform.
AI is our tool—not our replacement. It helps us focus more on emotion, story, and visual mastery while automating what slows creativity down.

Partnerships

We collaborate with studios, networks, streamers, agencies, and IP owners to produce bold, imaginative animation—on schedule and at scale.

What’s Next

Building on our success in AI-driven animation, we’re now bringing our storytelling expertise and proprietary technology into the world of live-action. With a deep understanding of cinematic language and seamless digital workflows, we’re uniquely equipped to push the boundaries of what’s possible in live-action production.  Stay tuned!
