Hello! I'm Matheus Canto, a multidisciplinary artist based in São Paulo, SP. In the last 10 years, I have worked from Jr to Lead Motion Designer and gathered a lot of experience with me. From basic ads to hero campaigns, passing through mobile / website animations through VFXs and Color Grading, I feel like a swiss-knife of post-production and love to be entangled in every step of the process.
Motion Design · 2024
A passion piece built around Rossi Antunez's illustration of Calcifer — the fire demon from Howl's Moving Castle. Brought the character to life through frame-by-frame animation, letting the flames breathe.
Motion Design · R/GA · 2021
A tender Mother's Day piece created at R/GA for Bradesco Prime. Full animation on top of Rossi Antunez's illustrations, with art direction by Daniel Bollina. Soft, warm, and made to move.

A set of seamless motion loops developed for InfinitePay's communication. Clean geometry, brand colours, and tight timing — designed to work equally well as social assets or ambient display content.
Motion Design · 2023
Second batch of looping motion pieces for InfinitePay. Each loop is a self-contained visual idea — different rhythm, same visual language. Fintech never looked this restless.
Motion Design · 2024
Animation for the roll-out of the Audible × Agência Pública audiobook 'Confidencial' — a fact-based investigation brought to audio. Art direction by Elisa Pessôa. Every frame built to feel like a redacted document coming to life.

An autoral exploration of the famous phrase 'Do something.' This is something. A short experiment in turning an imperative into movement — proof that doing anything is already a statement.
Credits Animation · Film · 2024
Credits sequence animation for the film 'O Clube das Mulheres de Negócios' — a story set in a world where gender stereotypes are inverted. Typography, rhythm, and tension working together to carry the film's message through to the final frame.

A short about perseverance. The story: a man who tries — really tries — to remember his password. Sometimes the most relatable struggle is the most universal.

Animator on Bandwith, a project by Banona Studio. Animated the scenes from 00:00 to 0:15 and from 0:44 to the end.
Motion Reel · 2025
We are overwhelmed by movements every day. What can we learn from them? A personal reel that distils years of motion work into one restless sequence.
