A course by Blirp Studio
Rodrigo and Andrés, founders of Blirp Studio, are experts in the fusion of 2D and 3D animation with a distinctive focus on anime timing. Their adventure in animation began in college, where, through an HP and MTV competition, they took the first steps toward a career full of creativity and experimentation. With a background in graphic design from the National University of Cuyo, both have perfected their art by blending techniques and methods, turning the initial necessity into a hallmark of their work. Rodrigo, a specialist in 2D animation and character design, is the animation director, while Andrés specializes in compositing in After Effects and 3D modeling, serving as the art director.
Throughout their career, they have collaborated with major brands such as Viacom, Disney, Fox, and Rogers Canada, developing everything from animated shorts to series. Their projects, such as Gummy Gas Crisis, have received international recognition, allowing them to participate in prestigious festivals such as Annecy and Cannes. Inspired by Japanese animation and the pursuit of unique aesthetics, Rodrigo and Andrés have made Blirp Studio a benchmark in the industry, motivating new generations of artists to explore unlimited possibilities in animation.
