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’m always happy to brainstorm ways to bring your project to life, from concept to finished animation, preferably over a nice cup of tinto. ☕️

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.

Character Animation & Storytelling

Story-led animation with personality, from expressive character work and educational films to narrative content that needs warmth, humour or a strong emotional beat.
Motion Design

Bold, polished animation for brands, campaigns, events and digital content, from graphic sequences and title treatments to large-format screens.
Concept, Design & Direction

From early ideas and visual development through storyboards, styleframes and creative direction.
Editing, Compositing & Finishing

Editing, adaptation, compositing, versioning and getting existing material over the finish line.
Motion Systems & Templates

MOGRTs, reusable animation systems and templates for internal teams.
Creative & Production Consultancy

Advice on animation strategy, workflows, production planning, motion systems and where new tools such as AI genuinely help rather than create extra work.
