About

Hi! I’m an Animation director, Animator and Illustrator working globally with clients from all sizes.

Im also the co-founder of Favo Studio, a Production company specialised in animation, video and illustration.

Working in the field since 2011, i’ve had the pleasure to work with brands such as Vox Media, Bloomberg, Louis Vuitton, Samsung, World Bank and Imperial College London. My role entails working in all the steps of an Animation production, from the concept stage, storyboard, illustration, animation and project management.

I love creating narratives that tickle our brain in an emotive and humane way! They generally blend mediums like 2D illustration, collage, 3D animation and video. I’ve worked in TV commercials, promos, explainers, corporate content, social media content and short films, having garnered 2 Vimeo Staff Picks along the way.

Let’s create something together!

In a time where psychedelics are getting a renewed worldwide attention, we were lucky enough to catch this wave and work in a project that would let us explore this fascinating theme.

Glidek - Explainer video

Our client challenged us to produce a motion graphics video about their newly developed software: GLIDEK. The briefing was to make a video that explained the software and its appeal to the regular consumer. We created the script and the character first, but we tried to let the ideas flow, adding lots of small details and challenging us to try new motion techniques in an attempt to make the video informative and laid-back, at the same time. Check out the full project at : https://www.behance.net/gallery/33456903/Glidek Concept, illustration and Animation by Favo Studio. Audio by Carlos Geraldes.

Citizen Tourist - Animation Short Film

With global tourism on the rise, the short film "CITIZEN TOURIST" tries to look at the tourist as a species with exotic and particular quirks, inviting us to look at ourselves and our group behaviours when we fill that role. The theme is explored in a whimsical fashion, turning the spotlight on an industry that is shaping entire cities and cultures in profound ways. Additionally, we try to encourage people to be able to find the joy of adventure right at their doorstep, especially in the embrace of nature, and to cultivate a curiosity that can transform the mundane into extraordinary moments that we’re often told to seek exclusively abroad, in distant cultures and lavish experiences. All in all, we try to remain true to the famous quote by Proust that says “The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Concept and Script: Gustavo Carreiro & Hugo Raposo Direction: Gustavo Carreiro Producer: Hugo Raposo Animation: Élio Mateus Maria Pasqualino Gustavo Carreiro Illustration: Maria Pasqualino Gustavo Carreiro Pedro Oliveira Music & Sound Design: Carlos Geraldes animator animation collage shortfilm explainervideo character illustration motiongraphic
