What Studio Campedelli Srl does
Studio Campedelli S.r.l. is a Milan and Turin-based animation studio producing 2D animated audiovisual content for children and family audiences. Founded in 2008 by Pietro Campedelli and now part of Ellipse Animation (Media Participations Group) following an end-2023 ownership transition, the studio manages every stage of production from concept writing and script development, through graphic research, character and background design, storyboard, 2D animation (digital cut-out and traditional), to post-production editing and compositing. Its catalog spans preschool and kids series (TROTRO & ZAZA, Tip the Mouse, ATCHOO!, OPS, OGM Travels, Calimero, Mortina), a feature film in development (CARUSO with director Christian De Vita), and an archive of executive productions (Lupo Alberto, Cocco Bill, Pet Pals, Rat Man, Gillo), several adapted from recognized Italian comics.
The studio operates a dual revenue model: (1) full co-productions of animated series and films with European public broadcasters (Rai Kids, France Télévisions, RTS, TV Tokyo, Kodansha) and publishers (Giunti Editore, Mondadori, Tunué), and (2) animation service contracts providing discrete pipeline deliverables (model pack, backgrounds, storyboard, animation, layout, FX, compositing) to clients such as Tunué, Cartobaleno, Kids Me, and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. Public funding is accessed through Creative Europe MEDIA, CNC (France), Screen Ireland, and Tuscan regional grants (PR FESR 2021-2027). The studio is positioned as a boutique full-service animation partner within the Ellipse Animation / Media Participations Group ecosystem, leaning on a specialized 25-40 FTE team plus an expanding junior pipeline.
The customer base is concentrated among European public broadcasters and major publishing IP holders, with Rai serving as the primary domestic broadcast partner across multiple productions. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via co-production markets, direct broadcaster relationships, and recurring partnerships with European animation producers (Ellipsanime, Studio Bozzetto, Cartobaleno, Belvision, Dupuis Audiovisuel). Marketing is primarily portfolio-driven through studiocampedelli.net, supplemented by social media presence on Facebook and Instagram. Distribution is broadcaster-led (linear TV and RaiPlay streaming) plus international licensing through co-producers.
