Founded in 2010 by Roberto Puig, the boutique produces commercial advertising, television branding, animated show openings, and visual effects for Mexican and international clients. Its work spans broadcast television, streaming, social and digital media, and out-of-home advertising.
The studio develops projects from concept through finished production. Its creative services include concept development, art direction, script-to-screen storytelling, storyboarding, animatics, and visual style exploration. Production capabilities cover 2D character animation and motion graphics alongside 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting, and animation. Digital compositing, color grading, and editing support the completion of campaigns and broadcast packages.
Animation for brands and broadcasters
Don Porfirio combines character and product animation with motion design and CG advertising effects. Its technical capabilities include particle simulation, dynamics, and destruction effects. These disciplines support work ranging from advertising sequences to television network idents, brand packaging, and opening titles.
The studio serves television networks, entertainment and streaming businesses, advertising clients, and cultural institutions. Its commercial work also reaches food and beverage brands, banking and financial technology, automotive businesses, and sports media. Its broadcast portfolio includes network packaging and digital shorts, while its advertising output includes campaigns developed for television and other screen formats.
Origins
Puig established the studio after returning to his hometown of Mérida following seven years working in Toronto’s broadcast animation industry. That experience preceded Don Porfirio and informed its focus on broadcast storytelling and animation for international audiences. The company has continued to operate from southeast Mexico, bringing creative development, animation, and post-production together within a boutique studio.
