Histeria!

What Histeria! does

Histeria! (legal name: Histeria! Studio) is a São Paulo, Brazil-based creative production studio founded in 2013 that specializes in animation services across 2D cel animation, 3D CGI, cutout animation, VFX, motion graphics, and compositing for gaming, entertainment, and advertising clients. The studio's production pipeline runs on Blender (with Cycles rendering), Maya, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator, with demonstrated capability in hybrid 2D/3D visual development and full-service delivery from layout and lookdev through lighting, rendering, and compositing. Project credits reveal a creative team led by director Jan Xavier that can scale to 30-plus artists on a single engagement, as documented on the Song of Nunu music video for Riot Forge and Tequila Works.

The studio operates as a B2B professional services business, acquiring clients through direct project-based engagements and bidding on creative briefs from major entertainment, gaming, and brand customers. Its client roster is heavily weighted toward gaming and esports publishers, with Riot Games as the dominant repeat customer across League of Legends, Valorant, and Riot Forge titles in multiple regions (North America, MENA, Brazil), supplemented by engagements with Garena (Free Fire), Ubisoft/BLAST (Six Invitational), Curve Games (Dungeons of Hinterberg), and Discord (The Last Meadow). Non-gaming work includes brand campaigns for Pernambucanas and Sorriso (Colgate), a Netflix Brasil music video for Army of the Dead, and the Doodleverse music video with Pharrell for Doodles, demonstrating vertical breadth within project-based delivery.

Histeria! runs no disclosed public pricing, no subscription or platform product, and no software offering; revenue is generated entirely through custom project fees. The firm is privately held with no disclosed parent company, no venture or institutional funding rounds, and no public ticker. Operations are anchored at Av. Dr. Arnaldo, 2183, Sumaré, São Paulo, with no other offices disclosed. A recurring external partner network (mdois Studios for audio post-production, Abacateiro Filmes for live action, Dark Burn Creative and Mutiny Gaming Agency for co-production on Riot projects, Cyan Heart Studio for additional 3D modeling) extends delivery capacity beyond the 45-person in-house headcount.
