OUR PURPOSE

TOTEM is a creative studio specialized in visual storytelling, motion design and animation.

In TOTEM Studio we explore the animated medium beyond the traditional screen and aim to create rich, involving experiences no matter what the technological platform may be. We do branding in motion, commercials, explainer videos, short films, video mapping, augmented reality and design of real space experiences.

We're a multidisciplinary team with a graphic design background and a visual storytelling expertise. We create within a very wide spectrum of platforms from concepts and core idea to story development, script, asset design, animation and final product.

Some civilizations identify themselves with a guardian symbol that could take the shape of an animal, or a natural object that protected and represented them collectively. That totem gave the group it's power, identity and purpose, as well as effectively transmitted it's story and history through a graphic narrative.  

Let TOTEM communicate your brand's project or idea with humanity's most powerful and ancient tool: visual storytelling.

TOTEM Studio. Hand Crafted Visual Stories.
