Marcita.com - About

Hello :)
I'm Márcia but people call me Marcita ˘◡˘

I'm a creative director, illustrator, and animator from São Paulo, Brazil but who looks to live in different places.

Different from almost all art directors who found themselves because they liked to draw since they were kids, and of course I liked to draw, but I found my journey when I was 13 years old and discovered punk rock. At the time, I started to create fanzines using typewriters, photocopies, and collages. I didn't know I was indulging in the art of graphic design. My 'zines covered political and musical subjects, from feminism to reviewing poorly recorded cassette demo tapes of three-chord bands. I was heavily influenced by cinema and 90s MTV animations, which bring me where I am today.

My main work themes are centered around human rights, culture, science, environment, gender equality, and social change and I feel I'm always open to new stuff.

How I work
I operate a tiny art studio where are some other nice creatives working together remotely.

I work with my clients since the beginning, helping them to clarify the best way to communicate what they need to throw the different ways of storytelling and image mood.
It includes doing the storyboards that help to visualize all the image-animation steps, the animatic, the styleframes (colors and visual style), directing the sound effects and soundtrack, and then putting it all together animated.

The client receives the final animation and everybody is happy :)

Speaker, Workshops, and Classes
I also do some workshops -> You can read about them here.

Podcast I've talked with:

For the Frila podcast, I talked about my life as a freelancer.

For the Anchor Point podcast, we talk about the creation of an online community for
female animators and motion designers in Brazil called Garotas do Motion.

I speak with the lovely people from Layer Lemonade about life, direction, learning, and moving to another city :)

I was invited by my client IPAS.org to talk about the process of doing the animation Mina's Story which talks about abortion with pills.
