I am Mayrení, a stop motion character animator from the US, living in Mexico and working in both countries.
My most recent work has been on the tv show In The Know (streaming on Peacock) and on Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, both produced by ShadowMachine. Before that I worked on Saurus City (in post-production) and I’ve been a part of several short films in Mexico, two of them winners of the Ariel Award for Best Animated Short Film.
On the side, I’ve always been drawn to movement and have been a contemporary dance enthusiast and pianist for many years. I believe these hobbies have made me a stronger animator through the understanding of body mechanics, expression and rhythm.
