About

Hi, I’m Jonas Forsman, a passionate and experienced 3D animator and director based in Värmdö, Sweden. I’ve spent over two decades bringing characters and stories to life across various media including video games, films, and commercials. I enjoy blending creativity with technology to craft compelling animations that engage audiences.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege to work with renowned studios like Weta Digital, ILM, and TocaBoca, where I’ve taken on roles from lead animator to director. Outside of work, I love exploring new animation techniques and directing my own short films to keep pushing the boundaries of my craft.
