Challenge & Approach: 

Brand: Estúdio 11
Sector: Creative Arts & Culture
Title: "Intersection between art, personal expression"

Creating a visual narrative that showcases both the commercial and artistic dimensions of Estúdio 11 while revealing the personal stories behind the collective. Our challenge was to balance the promotional needs of the studio with authentic storytelling that captures the essence of their sustainable, heritage-driven approach to art.

Documentary Concept:

We developed a three-episode documentary structure that progressively deepens the audience's understanding of the collective:

Episode 1: "A Identidade" (The Identity)
The commercial face of Estúdio 11 - introducing their services, workspace, and artistic practices. Functions as both documentary and promotional content.

Episode 2: "Quem" (Who)
Personal portraits of the three collective members - Miguel Martins (founder and multidisciplinary artist), Ana Goulão (project manager and artistic consultant), and Edgar Pacheco (multidisciplinary artist and tattoo artist). Individual stories revealing the people behind the art.

Episode 3: "O Coletivo" (The Collective)
Entirely edited from the final group interview, this episode explores the dynamics of their collaboration, relationship, and collective creative process without additional visual elements.

Our Approach:

Through four strategic interviews (three individual, one collective), we developed a storytelling framework that reveals both the individual personalities and collective synergy of Estúdio 11. The documentary progression moves from external presentation to internal truth, creating an authentic portrait of artistic collaboration, serving as promotion for the collective's work.

Creative Process:

Interview planning → Individual and group sessions → Content architecture development → Three-episode narrative structure → Post-production storytelling
