PINKMAN.TV

PINKMAN.TV is an independent animation studio founded by Spanish director, painter and animator Alberto Mielgo. Based in Madrid, with a secondary creative workspace in Los Angeles, it produces stylized animation for films, streaming anthology series, game cinematics and advertising. Its work combines fine-art influences with digital production, using painterly surfaces, graphic compositions and expressive lighting to develop a distinctive approach to animated storytelling.

The studio emerged around 2009–2010 as an outlet for Mielgo’s own directing and design work. Early experimental shorts established an interest in adult-oriented themes and visual approaches that depart from conventional photorealistic CGI. It subsequently developed into a production studio capable of delivering projects from initial concepts through finished animation.

Animation and filmmaking

PINKMAN.TV’s production capabilities span writing, direction, concept development, storyboarding and animatics, alongside modelling, rigging, texturing, lighting, rendering and compositing. Its approach brings artistic direction and visual development into the animation process, with an emphasis on the relationship between image-making, movement and narrative.

The studio produced The Witness for the first volume of Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots in 2019, followed by Jibaro for the anthology’s third volume in 2022. Both productions reflect its focus on visually distinctive, adult animated filmmaking. Its independent short The Windshield Wiper, released in 2021, explores contemporary relationships through a series of animated observations.

PINKMAN.TV also works in game-related storytelling. It delivered Tipping Point for Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs: Legion in 2020 and collaborated on Bungie’s Marathon | Reveal Cinematic Short in 2025. These projects extend the studio’s filmmaking approach into cinematic introductions to game worlds.

Alongside commissioned work, the studio develops original productions. As of November 2026, its reported development activity includes Mielgo’s first original full-length animated feature. Its operating model combines a small permanent team with larger project crews and specialist production collaborations, allowing it to undertake both independent shorts and substantial cinematic commissions.
