ROOF STUDIO / ‘A Beautiful Sight” / 3D character and environments

ROOF created this heartwarming two-minute-long animated film for VABYSMO that depicts the journey of a mother and son through several decades. The story is primarily told from the son’s perspective, showcasing his development from infancy to his professional career, with his mother as the central figure. The film had challenges as it spans different periods, showing the protagonist aging .Since the story is mostly told from a “point of view” style, the character of Mom is always very close to the camera. Therefore, it was important to maintain a high level of detail in her facial and body features, and her hair had to convey different styles reflecting different periodic trends.

SEED “Free Your Brain” / 2D characters & environment

There’s been a boom of new gaming studios recently, and some are seemingly jumping on the bandwagon of a buzzword-enhanced quick buck. Crypto this, Children’s NFT Casino that…They are games that don’t put the gamer central to the game. This recent flooding of new studios also means that top-quality artists can be trapped in dead-end jobs, and therefore more difficult to recruit. The traditionally animated film tells the story of a group of jaded developers who reach breaking point in their job, and their brains go on a violent, yet comedic, rampage in an effort to be free from tyranny. In collaboration with Bad Brain, the film was written, directed, and produced at SEED in the guise of an adult animated series you’d expect to watch on Adult Swim or some dark, hidden corner of Netflix. Read more HERE

Roof ended the year by creating this eye-catching passion piece from director and co-founder Vinicius Costa. Picturing My Mind is a whimsical animated journey through the doors of past memories. A visual open that explores the profound experiences that shape us all. “In contrast to the rich details in the background, I wanted our character to stand out as simple. And body language is important to this film, as I animated her with big motion – opposite to the rigid stiffness of the structures near by. This conceptual juxtaposition allows the character to appear relatively small in frame while capturing your attention.” – Vini Find out more out the film HERE
