Form the release:

Creative polymaths NERDO have joined Not To Scale’s roster in a partnership that unites Not To Scale’s formidable international production capabilities with the director collective’s fierce, unwavering commitment to challenging conventions wherever they find them.

Beyond “making images”, NERDO builds the visual identity of brands, products, and rebels. Their work escapes rigid notions of technique, bounding across live action, 2D and 3D animation, and mixed media to tear up the rule book and create art that is inimitable, irresistible, and wholly their own.

NERDO was formed by Lorenzo, Gavi and Claus in 2009, three friends eager to explore uncharted visual territories. Today, the founders are based in Europe and the USA, providing a truly global outlook which spans genres, styles and industries.

Blending a wealth of experience and a passion to push new boundaries, they are perfectly positioned geographically and creatively for clients wishing to break the mold across oceans and time zones. Clients who have utilised NERDO’s unique creative-thinking mindset include the likes of Nike, Netflix, Google, Amazon, MTV, McDonalds, Vivobarefoot and Tencent.

Dan O’Rourke, Founder of Not To Scale: “We’re delighted to welcome NERDO to the Not To Scale director roster. Lorenzo, Gavo and Claus form a rare creative force, a team grounded in design with impressive versatility, working across a wide range of animation techniques.

As clients increasingly look for distinctive, ownable visual styles and flexible creative approaches, NERDO offers a compelling all-in-one solution. Their combined experience spans multiple facets of filmmaking and design, making them an invaluable addition. With the founders now based across the EU and the U.S., they’re also ideally positioned to support our international client base.

Master of all trades, jack of none, true all-round artists, they bring a thoughtful, craft-led approach to every brief, elevating each project and frame they produce with precision and creativity.”

NERDO said: “Joining Not To Scale feels like the missing piece of the puzzle. We’re ready to bring our ‘No Fluff’ approach and our obsession with gutsy visual languages to a roster that has shaped the history of animation and live action. Let’s get to work.”
