I’m Alex Amelines
I craft animations
FOR EDUCATION, CHARITIES, MUSEUMS AND BRANDS.
SELECTED PROJECTS
WHAT’S A TINTO?
In Colombia, a tinto is a cup of smooth black coffee. It’s the first thing you’re offered when you visit someone: a warm invitation to sit down, have a chat and stay a bit longer.
Studio Tinto is the trading name of award-winning animator Alex Amelines, me. I will work with you to find the best way to bring your project to life, from concept to finished film. ☕️
For over 20 years I’ve been crafting educational films, awareness content for charities, and large-screen animation for museums and exhibitions. I also create corporate work for some of the world’s leading financial and professional services brands.
I’m also the human behind Amazing Things Happen, my neurodiversity project, which is well worth a look.
When I’m not animating for clients I like to tinker in my workshop. You can see (and buy 💰) my works right here.

THINGS MY LOVELY
CLIENTS SAY
Thanks Alex - we couldn't have done this project without you!
He will not only deliver what you want... he'll make it better than you could have wished for. I wish I could find his equivalent here in Denmark!
