A boutique studiobuilt around quality

As a great enthusiast of cinema and animation, after obtaining many degrees at Quasar Design University, Animation Mentor and many professional workshops with major artists and supervisors from Disney, DreamWorks, Pixar, ILM and others, Yuri started to work as a character animator, contributing to the production of numerous films for cinema, TV series, commercials, video games, as well as interactive products in mixed reality AR-VR.

Throughout a decade of relevant international experience in the Media & Entertainment industry, he gained experience alongside Jim Henson (creator of the Muppets), Stan Lee (Marvel founder), Emir Kusturica (Oscar-winning director), DreamWorks, Wizart Animation and others.

After the beginning stages in Italy and career experience abroad in countries such as Iceland and Canada, he returned to his homeland as a freelance professional working for studios all over the world, including Greece, Argentina, Russia, Brazil, England and the United States, for clients such as Gatorade, 2016 Olympics, World Cup 2018, Valfrutta, Halls, Gameloft and many others.

During these numerous productions he served not only as an individual artist, but also as supervisor, head of CG, rigging and animation specialist, among other roles.

Amongst other things, he dedicates his time, for pure passion, to teaching in universities and schools such as Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) Roma, American University of Rome, High School of Arts F. Orioli in Viterbo, School Year Abroad and St. Thomas's International School, where he has taught primary and secondary school.

In 2024, he co-founded Mostly Very True together with Daniele.

After graduating, he began traveling extensively and enrolled at AnimSchool, combining the advantages of remote learning with the opportunity to explore the world. Early in his career, he contributed to several blockbuster films, including Pirates of the Caribbean, Wonder Woman, and Alien: Covenant.

Daniele pursued film productions in Australia, England, and Belgium, with shorter stays in other places such as South Korea. After gaining experience as a Pipeline TD, he became Facial Rigging Lead for a European production, Dragon Rider, for which he developed a dedicated rigging framework and pipeline. During these years, he also earned a degree in Computer Engineering, graduating with the highest honors.

An article on an RBF solver for quaternions was extracted and published from his thesis, Mathematical Models for Computer Graphics: A Practical Approach to the Algebraic Topology of Rigid and Non-Rigid Transformations, Interpolations and Quaternions.

Daniele is currently about to complete his Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence, with a thesis focused on semantic rigging and latent spaces.

Since August 2019, Daniele has been working as a freelancer, dedicating himself almost exclusively to R&D projects for AnimSchool, where he also teaches and supervises rigging for the MechWest project.

In 2024, he co-founded Mostly Very True together with Yuri.
