Senior by design
The people shaping the pitch are the people shaping the work. Fewer handoffs, sharper decisions.

The studio
We believe the strongest work comes from a clear point of view, close collaboration and experienced people staying close to every frame.
Our story
Fabio Sciedlarczyk and Nicolas De Aquino founded DAMN! after careers across feature animation, games and high-end CG. They shared a belief that the image gets stronger when visual development and production stay in the same conversation.
That idea still defines the studio: a compact creative core, senior artists selected around each brief and the people setting the visual standard staying close through final delivery.
The people shaping the pitch are the people shaping the work. Fewer handoffs, sharper decisions.
Specialists assemble across disciplines, locations and production phases.
Visual development and production live together, protecting the original spark all the way to delivery.
Creative leadership

Founder | Director
Fabio is a director and visual development artist with more than 22 years in animation and CG. Beginning in look development and lighting, he built a career around the final image: how design, mood and story survive the realities of production. At DAMN!, he sets the creative direction early and stays close through lighting and finish, most recently directing Ted Paul with artist Jesper Ejsing and Pixar's RenderMan team.

Founder | Director
Nicolas is a CG artist, supervisor, and director working where bold art direction meets sharp technical execution. His experience spans visual development, assets, look development, lighting, and compositing, giving him the range to shape an image from its earliest idea through the final frame. He has contributed to IP and productions for Disney and Pixar, Sony Pictures, Apple TV+, Netflix Animation, and Supercell, bringing that experience to DAMN! to turn ambitious creative ideas into striking, focused, and production-ready work.
Together, they bring more than 25 years of high-end CG experience to a studio built around continuity: one senior creative perspective from first visual target to final frame.
A studio, not a roster
A permanent creative core leads every project. We scale production with senior specialists selected for the exact visual and technical problem, while authorship and accountability stay clear.
