Keyframe Animation Reel – Francisco Catão
This reel highlights a selection of my work in fully keyframed animation across feature films, series, and high-end game cinematics.
From stylized to realistic performances, I’ve had the opportunity to animate for projects such as Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, The Monkey King, The Addams Family 2, and several short films from Love, Death & Robots (Netflix). It also features cinematics for Apex Legends, Brawl Stars, and Clash of Clans.
Each shot reflects my focus on storytelling, clarity, and character-driven performance, whether crafting subtle acting beats or pushing dynamic action.
All animation was done by me unless otherwise noted.

This reel showcases a selection of my work using motion capture as the foundation for performance. All shots presented here were animated by me, with mocap data serving as a starting point.
In each project, I was responsible not just for cleaning up the mocap, but for pushing the performance further, enhancing body mechanics, refining acting choices, and fully keyframing the facial animation to add emotion and clarity. Whether using mocap for realism or stylization, my role as an animator was always to bring intention and storytelling to the final performance.
Featured projects include Love, Death & Robots: Volume 4 (Netflix), among others.
