About Studio Z

Studio Z is a Brazilian animation and creative production studio based in São Paulo. Founded in 2008, it develops original intellectual property and produces animated television series, feature films, advertising and game cinematics. Its work spans preschool and children’s entertainment, commercial character animation, product visualization and promotional storytelling for international game publishers.

The studio provides production services from initial concepts through final delivery. Its capabilities include scriptwriting, storyboarding, visual development, character design, asset modeling, texturing and rigging. Production encompasses keyframe and motion-capture animation, lighting and rendering, followed by compositing, visual effects and final mastering. This breadth supports both original entertainment projects and commissioned commercial productions.

In television and streaming, Studio Z’s projects include Babydino Tales, a preschool series co-produced with Nickelodeon Brazil and distributed on platforms including China’s iQIYI. Another preschool property, Turminha Paraíso, is available on Amazon Prime Video and YouTube. Its entertainment slate also includes projects such as Mini Big Friends, PomPom Power, Super Terrible, EcoForce and Space Kate, with several properties described as being in development. Animated feature projects include Abá e sua Banda, a co-production with Fraiha and Gloob Brazil, and Tagamanon.

Game cinematics form another part of the studio’s portfolio. Studio Z has produced trailers and promotional animation for tabletop titles including Zombicide, Marvel United, Ankh: Gods of Egypt and Massive Darkness II: Hellscape. Its game-related work also includes a cinematic trailer for Skydome, extending its animation practice across tabletop and video game promotion.

In advertising, Studio Z creates animated characters, promotional films and photorealistic product presentations for consumer brands. Its commercial portfolio includes appliance animations for Brastemp and Consul, advertising work for Bayer’s Redoxon, and hygiene-product animation for Cremer and Sapeka. Across these assignments, the studio combines character-led storytelling with detailed visualization of products for broadcast campaigns and other promotional uses.
