Hybrid Creative Systems Studio

UP Studio is a hybrid production partner for studios, agencies, and brands.

We can work inside your existing strategy and content system, or help you define a simple, practical one, then produce the motion, video and visual assets that keep it alive.

Blending 10+ years of high‑end craft with AI workflows, we increase content velocity, keep brand voice intact, and reduce friction between strategy and execution.

The Director

Igor Martins is a visual director with 15 years of experience leading VFX and motion campaigns for brands like Audi, Tiffany & Co., American Express, and artists like Will Smith and Justin Bieber, collaborating with directors such as Jason Dundas, Jason Satterlund, and Sarah Spillane.

He operates a proprietary AI pipeline embedded in real production, where AI is the medium, and direction is the core work. UP Studio extends his practice, scaling through a trusted network of senior collaborators while maintaining a direct client relationship.

His artistic foundation predates commercial work. Since 2001, across drawing, painting, CGI, and AI, he has explored one central question: how to make the invisible visible. His work has been exhibited internationally in Paris, Florence, Bologna, Miami Art Week, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Chiang Mai.
