What Blue Zoo Animation Studio Looks for in Your Portfolio

🦴 Character Animators

Blue Zoo's style is expressive, character-driven, and stylised for children's audiences. Show performance animation with personality over technical walk cycles. Bluey-style squash-and-stretch and emotional beats are the benchmark.

💡 Lighting & Compositing

Blue Zoo's look is bright, warm, and clear. Show lighting rigs that support readable character performance. Nuke compositing experience with stylised renders is preferred over photorealistic work.

✨ FX Artists

2D and 3D FX at Blue Zoo support storytelling rather than spectacle. Show magic effects, weather, and water that match a soft, child-friendly aesthetic. Overly dark or photorealistic FX reels won't align.
