About PixieBug
Or how two motion designers became a mini studio
Once upon a time, there were two freelance motion designers who worked together so much that they finally decided it was time to give this creative energy a name. And so, in 2019, PixieBug was born—a mini studio where the coffee always runs out, but the ideas never do.
How do we work?
At our core, it’s just the two of us driving the creative engine. But when needed (when a project is bigger than our screen), we call in a whole team of freelance geniuses. Graphic designers, illustrators, animators, motion designers, 3D wizards, post-production experts, compositors, scriptwriters, character designers, and even stop-motion magicians can appear—depending on what the project demands.
Small project? We handle it ourselves. Big project? We assemble the dream team. We’re a studio that grows exactly as big as it needs to. And if you’re dreaming of a full animated series—well, we’ll expand, level up, and make it happen!
About Us
REGINA BACSA
MOTION DESIGNER
More than 10 years ago, I officially became an animation filmmaker, and I have been working in the industry ever since with unwavering dedication. Over the years, I have successfully collaborated with television channels, film post-production studios, and advertising agencies. My works have been selected for the competition programs of the Kecskemét Animation Film Festival and the Holland Animation Film Festival. My films Industrial boogie and Coincidence were screened not only at festivals but also at Művészetek Völgye (Valley of Arts) and in Lisbon. Currently, my main focus is 2D animation and motion design.
IVAN SAROSACZ (JEVA)
ART DIRECTOR
I’ve been working in computer graphics for over 25 years. My first creation was the graphics of a Commodore Plus/4 game back in 1988. Over the years, I have worked in various roles at several companies, including Post Edison, Focus Fox, GYÁR, and DIGIC Pictures. Essentially, I’m an animation guy, but in the past years, besides animation, I was fortunate enough to have the chance to work with illustration, as a VFX supervisor for films and commercials, art director, director and even create my own short film—which won an award at the KAFF in 2007.
GERBEAUD
CREATIVE DIRECTOR
(pronounced: Jerbeau)
I am a love child. My mother is a Hungarian vizsla, my father is a labrador-hound mix. I love walking, taking baths, playing with a stick or a ball (which sadly I’m obliged to stay away of due to the two previous surgeries on my left hind leg) and eating, well, that’s my weak point. I consider myself to be a creative dog, I enjoy participating in the whole workflow, and I’m always the first to arrive and last to leave the office…oh no. Actually, I sleep in the office. My couch (yes, I have my own couch) is located right behind my colleagues so I’m always there to signal them if something isn’t done the best way.
