VINÍCIUS

COSTA

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Vinicius Costa is Co-Founder of ROOF Studio. Known for creating fantastic and unique worlds through design and animation, he is drawn to imagining places you'd want to visit again and again (or maybe even in real life) – and making pleasant connections with people along the way. The press celebrates his work for being "jaw-droppingly detailed, original and weird..." along with other superlatives like, ”stunning craftsmanship and imagination!” A Clio and ADC Young Guns winner, Vinicius has also spoken about his whimsical style at design conferences worldwide. His canine friend, Lancelot -- a big name for a small dog -- is always in the office. While Lancelot doesn't know the first thing about 3D, he's quite adept at crashing video calls with cuteness.

Guto Terni is a multi-faceted director and entrepreneur in the world of animation. Prior to co-founding ROOF Studio in 2012, he ran his own animation studio in Brazil. He would go on to be a partner at VetorZero, the largest VFX and animation company in Latin America at the time. Guto is well-versed in 2D, 3D, and stop-motion animation. His long animation career is decorated with Cannes Lions, Clio awards among others – recently, an AICP Award for his short film, "What is an MRI?" (2019), which was part of the "Imaginary Friend Society" campaign for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. In his spare time, he loves to make music and complain about NYC winters.
