Better late than never!
Itās been a hectic first quarter, but we had to take some time to finish this off.
Hereās our 2025 recap!
2025 was a year of conferences; we went to FITC Toronto and, for the first time, to OFFF Barcelona and OFFF Montreal!
Watched some really inspirational talks, enjoyed culture and met amazing artists from all across the globe!
We finished more studio projects and started some exciting collaborations that weāre hoping to finish this year.
Thanks as always to all our collaborators, @julieneffmusic@jamesjohnsta Joseph Cheng and Edward Habib š„
Excited for whatās to come in the rest of 2026!
Cheers!!

We noticed that we hadnāt introduced ourselves!
Weāre Julieta & Luis, the creative duo/team behind Escafandra Studio. Hola! š

Meet Luis (luismi), a strong generalist whose works vary the 2D and 3D animation spectrum!
Heās our 3D expert! On top of that, heās a badass designer with great taste! (thatās why heās married to me, š)
Heās very inspired by anime and sci-fi movies. In his spare time, youāll find him blasting his favorite OSTs on repeat and diving into video gamesālately, heās been hooked on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth!

Meet Julieta (Juli); she specializes in everything 2D: illustration, character design and animation. (I mean, sheās a character herself, haha ā¤ļø )
In her spare time, you can catch her having movie marathons, from romcoms in February to horror movies in October, and participating in a horror movie club.
She also runs her own book club, where she reads various genres and fosters a sense of community with her friends.
Make sure to follow her on Letterboxd and Goodreads to catch her latest reviews.

Escafandra turns two! š
Well, actually, four. We founded Escafandra in 2021, while still freelancing. For the first two years, we focused on building our internal infrastructure rather than putting ourselves out there.
In 2023, we officially branded as a studio, and here we are now!
2024 was a year of growth, learning and expanding our network.
Here are some stats to tickle your brain:
7ļøā£ We completed seven projects.
šŖ¦ We lost one pitch and added our first couple of frames to the graveyard.
š§ 686 emails from active projects. Not counting cold emails.
š 100% of our clients came from our network or recommendations by someone we know.
šø We had our first photoshoot ever! @sorrystudioto
On top of that, as admins of the @toronto_motion (TOMO) meetup, we proudly sponsored and organized some of their events!
Weāre incredibly thankful to our collaborators: @jmoberg_sound@julieneffmusic@unadigs and @alyssamolfetta
Thanks for joining us on this journeyāhereās to an even more successful 2025! š»
