Estudio Shout

Estudio Shout is an independent Costa Rican animation, visual effects and game-development studio headquartered in San José. Established as a formal commercial studio in 2015 following an earlier shared creative practice, it combines 2D and 3D production with interactive development, serving entertainment, advertising, education and branded-content clients.

Its production capabilities span character sculpting, modelling, surfacing, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting, rendering and compositing. The team also delivers 2D animation, motion design, storyboarding, character design and pixel art, alongside visual development, concept art and VFX. For games, the studio creates real-time assets, announcement trailers, cutscenes and in-game cinematics.

Animation, games and interactive work

Estudio Shout has contributed animation and assets to projects including Marvel's What If...?, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout, Men in Black: Arcade Video Game, Miraculous: Rise of the Sphinx and SpeedRunners 2. Its wider production work includes animated commercials, social campaigns, broadcast advertising and mixed-media activations for organisations and brands including Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Movistar Business Solutions, Cognitiva / IBM Watson and PROCOMER.

The studio also works in immersive media, including the educational VR anatomy application Humana, and develops original animation and game properties. Current original-game work includes the cozy town-simulation title Cat Distribution System (Sistema universal de distribución de gatos) and the retro arcade beat-em-up El Guapo Vs. The Narco Vampires: Redención, developed with animator Jorge R. Gutierrez.

Original storytelling

Alongside service production, Estudio Shout develops original series, films and interactive IP. Its portfolio includes the original animated-series pilot No Idea, the branded 3D pilot Las Choco Aventuras de Henry, the educational series Los misterios del Jade, and The Girl in Red (Chica Roja). In music production, the studio created the animated video for Alicia Keys' “Underdog” remix featuring Nicky Jam and Rauw Alejandro.

With experience across animation, game art, cinematics, VR and branded storytelling, Estudio Shout operates a multidisciplinary creative pipeline from Costa Rica for regional and international projects.
