Biography

Rogerio started his artistic career in 2003 working as a children’s book illustrator, diagrammer and web designer at Kinderbooks Publishing House. Later in 2008 he first entered the animation industry by making inbetweens drawings, clean up and key clean up in projects such as Los Três Amigos, at Daniel Messias Studios; the Disney’s movie The Princess and the Frog, at HGN Productions; the spanish movie Chico & Rita, under supervision of the animators Sandro Cleuzo and Robert Sprathoff; as well as several TV commercials, such as Froot Loops for R&R Animation Films. Since 2012 at Pinguim Content, he become a 2D Digital Animator working on Gemini 8 series, 2nd season of Fishtronaut, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th seasons of Earth to Luna and 1st season of Charlie, the interviewer of Things. Rogerio Ferraz also worked in the animation of Fishtronaut, The Movie, was animator and animation supervisor in Earth to Luna 8th season and in Ping & Friends series, which he animated the whole opening sequence too and made some storyboards in the 1st season of Charlie, the interviewer of Things and in the 4th, 5th and 6th seasons of Earth to Luna.

Zero Medal is a comic book series project bringing a new science fiction universe with great action and super powers. Although being a kid's theme, there are several internal conflicts of the main character who lives a love at first sight and a strong and active female character in a story full of intricate details that interest adults as well. In addition to the comic book series, there are plans to make games and animations too.

Back in 1994 when Rogerio was just 14, the mascots dominated the entertainment world. It was the moment he realized he also needed to create is main character. Thus the character Garra was born and the project that would later named Zero Medal.

It took a long time to get the experience working on animation industry to improve the characters and the story but Zero Medal issue 1 was finally released in December 2018 with the help of family and many friends who supported the project on a crowdfunding platform. Released in 2021 at the brazilian CCXP (Comic Con Experience), Zero Medal reached its third issue, closing the first story arc of the adventures of Garra and Pandora with a promising future. In addition to comic book series that is still being produced, a cartoon animation teaser was made to publicize the project and a video game is currently being developed.

And it all started in 1994 with a childhood dream...
