Meet Frederico Mercúrio: a charming, brazilian and digital reincarnation!
We created Frederico Mercúrio with care and attention to detail, to transform the iconic singer into a new and energetic digital version. We used advanced techniques and innovative tools to create an incredibly sexy final result.
The technology we used was as fascinating as it was seductive, and this is reflected in the final character!
With a lean and efficient team, we achieved a sexy work in a short time. We believe that innovative technologies are the future of animation and were fundamental to the success of Frederico Mercúrio.
