I am Mayrení, a stop motion Animation Supervisor and Character Animator from the US, living in Mexico and working in both countries.
My most recent role was supervising the animation on “Little Nightmares – Broken Promises” (produced at Taller del Chucho in Guadalajara), now selected to appear at Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Before that I animated Bad Bunny’s “Concho” character for his hometown concerts at Acho Studio in Puerto Rico.
Previously I worked on the tv show In The Know (streaming on Peacock) and on Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, both produced by ShadowMachine. I’ve been a part of several short films in Mexico, two of them winners and one nominated for the Ariel Award for Best Animated Short Film.
On the side I’ve always been drawn to movement and performing arts, and have been a contemporary dance enthusiast and pianist for many years. I believe these practices have made me a stronger animator through the understanding of body mechanics, rhythm and expression.
