Storyboard Artist Services

Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian storyboard artists work from São Paulo and Rio studios connected to Lobo (the MTV Brazil branding house that trained a generation of Latin American visual storytellers), Vetor Zero, Birdo, Wildlife Studios, AnimaEstudios, and Estúdio Mauricio de Sousa Productions (the Monica's Gang / Turma da Mônica franchise, the country's best-known animation brand). The country's annual Anima Mundi festival (Rio and São Paulo — the major Latin American animation festival) supplies a steady pipeline of trained boarders.

Here is what we have to work with. On the ground, Pipelines run Storyboard Pro for animation, Photoshop and Procreate for live-action features and commercials, Blender and Maya for 3D previs, and Shot Designer / FrameForge for tech layouts set up with cinematography, VFX, and stunts. Boards are delivered as PDF books, animatic edits cut in Premiere Pro or Resolve with temp scratch tracks, and shot-listed CSVs synced to AD scene matching systems. Service handles feature, top series, telenovela, commercial, music video, and game-cinematic boarding for Brazilian and global shoots.

Here is the short of it. Brazilian boarders bring distinctive visual vocabulary. Cinema Novo's social-realist composition (Glauber Rocha through Walter Salles, Fernando Meirelles, Kleber Mendonça Filho), Tropicália collage culture, Carnaval colour-saturation, and the Mauricio de Sousa cartoon-character economy of line are all working references. Recent benchmark boarding work has shipped on Walter Salles's I'm Still Here (Best Foreign Language Oscar nominee 2025), Kleber Mendonça Filho's Aquarius and Bacurau (Cannes Jury Prize 2019), Karim Aïnouz's Eurídice Gusmão (Cannes Un Certain Regard 2019), José Padilha's Elite Squad franchise and Netflix's Narcos. Plus Rio and Rio 2 (Carlos Saldanha's animated features set in Rio).

Here is the layout. On the ground, Artists are SindCine registered, work in Portuguese and English (Spanish for Mercosul co-productions across Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile). With reciprocal Animation Guild Local 839 plan for visiting US supervisors. Currency advantage BRL ~5:1 USD plus federal Lei do Audiovisual rebates via ANCINE keep previs budgets meaningfully below US/UK equivalents.
