About

Hi, I’m Marianna Forti, animator, 2d rigger and clean-up artistswith extensive experience leading animation production and rigging pipelines.
I currently manage Animago Studio in Florence, coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality animation, character rigs, and clean-up workflows while refining production processes.

I love collaborating with directors and clients to translate creative ideas into polished visuals. My background spans storyboard input, character design, rigging, and animation direction across TV, commercials, feature films and specials, with hands-on work in Harmony (but I have a basic knowledge of Moho and TV paint as well) and a passion for building efficient pipelines and training teams.

I can provide animation services (rig, animation, clean-up and color) as individual and as team.
