Brico Kid

Maxmat

Back at it again with zero DIY skills, Nuno Markl now faces a new challenge: choosing between matte or shiny paint. As usual, Max and Mat step in to guide him on a mystical journey of self-discovery… and paint.

Paint On, Price Off

This film is a playful homage to classic 80s martial arts movies—territory where Nuno feels right at home, even if his 3D avatar isn’t exactly built for intense training. We leaned heavily into familiar visual cues, from dojo-inspired sets and props to cinematic lighting and camera work, while always keeping the brand’s identity front and center.

Two paint cans—one matte, one shiny—set the scene and frame Nuno for a vertigo-style shot that pulls us into a fully 3D world. Training complete, Nuno masters the art of paint selection, Maxmat style.
