About Studio Carcara
Studio Carcará is a team of passionate animators and illustrators dedicated to creating expressive, handcrafted animation. Rooted in classical techniques, stop motion, and live action, we blend traditional artistry with contemporary storytelling to bring striking, emotionally resonant worlds to life.
With a strong focus on colour, composition, and perspective, our work is crafted frame by frame with intention and care. From character-driven narratives to visually immersive concepts, including the development of a richly designed animated feature, we approach every project with creativity, precision, and heart.
At Carcará, we don’t just animate.
We create meaningful, beautifully designed stories that stay with you.
Our Manifesto
The world is crowded with studios claiming they “do animation.”
We don’t just do it, we craft it.
I’m Dolph, and after over two decades creating for Disney, MPC, Sony, Rocksteady, and brands like Coca-Cola, Nike, HBO, and FOX, I set out to build something different: a studio driven by vision, not formulas.
I direct and collaborate with world-class artists from Pixar, DreamWorks, Disney, Lucasfilm, The Mill, and more, each bringing their mastery, while I guide the art, tone, and animation style that shape every piece into a singular vision.
While the industry leans into automation and AI, we move in the opposite direction.
We believe in the human touch in brush strokes, frames, and imperfections that make stories breathe.
We blend 2D, 3D, and stop-motion to create bold, handcrafted animation that stands out because it feels real. Not mass-produced pixels, but authentic storytelling made with intent and care.
Our difference isn’t in what we say, it’s in how we work: focused, personal, and deeply committed to craft and the ambition to make sure the idea becomes a reality as we intended.
Because when animation is made with heart and precision, it becomes more than motion.
It becomes meaningful.
This is our craft. This is our ethos. This is what we stand for.
