About Timbo Estudio
Timbo Estudio is an independent Colombian audiovisual production and animation studio based in Bogotá. Founded in 2010 by artist and director Santiago Caicedo, it brings together animation, contemporary art, interactive technology and performing arts. Its work spans feature films, short films, television, music visuals and public installations, with projects ranging from screen-based storytelling to experiences designed for architectural spaces and live audiences.
The studio develops and produces 2D and 3D animation alongside visual effects, digital compositing, motion graphics and art direction. Its filmmaking practice also includes stereoscopic animation. For cultural institutions, museums and exhibitions, it creates interactive installations, fulldome projects and immersive environments. Its live production work encompasses concert projections, architectural video mapping and multimedia design for theater and other performing arts.
Cinema and expanded storytelling
Timbo was the lead production company behind Virus Tropical, the animated feature directed by Caicedo and adapted from Powerpaola’s graphic novel. Co-produced with France’s Ikki Films, the film screened at the Berlinale Forum and Annecy and received audience awards at SXSW and BAFICI, as well as the Quirino Award for Best Ibero-American Feature Film. The studio’s work connects authored cinema with broader experimentation in visual narrative and presentation formats.
That approach extends into public cultural productions. Its projects include Corazón del Mundo – Santa Marta 500 años, an immersive scenic performance commemorating the city’s quincentenary; Lo sagrado, a projection and live performance presented on Bogotá’s Catedral Primada for the 2024 Christmas season; and an immersive retrospective marking 70 years of Colombian television for RTVC. It also created Espejo de luz, an interactive traveling exhibition celebrating 20 years of the Colombian Film Act.
Across these formats, Timbo works with cultural agencies, film organizations, broadcasters and performing artists. Its portfolio combines commissioned cultural experiences with film production, using animation and audiovisual design in both conventional viewing settings and shared public spaces.
