Hello!
KM stand for Kelvin Marangoni. I'm Italo-Brazilian, and I'm passionate about animation! So much so that I'll do anything to see it come to life. I began my career alongside industry giants like Sandro Cleuzo, John Nevarez, and Tom Bancroft, who mentored me in the months following my graduation in Animation Cinema from the Nemo Academy in Florence.
Since then, I've transitioned from being an Rough Animator in Hazbin Hotel to assistant directing at Alopra Studio. For an year i've worked as a Rough Animator and Hybrid animation at DogHead Animation at Florence with clients as WarnerBrothers, Netflix and BentoBox.
​
I'm seeking further knowledge within animation production because I believe we need artists at the forefront, those who initiate projects, bridging the gap between the studio's intentions and the ambitions of the artists involved.
My story
More than just a passion for animation, my love for storytelling was born within me. Since the age of 13, I've been writing my own stories, cultivating a need to explain and visualize them over time. This led me to the audiovisual field, where my affinity for animation flourished.
My artistic vision extends beyond mere visuals; it's a result of a vast knowledge and a deep desire to convey an idea. At 17, I released my first gospel album "Acredito", thanks to the efforts of my parents at the time, and my musical journey has accompanied me from childhood to the present day. I believe this musical background is a significant strength in my sensitivity to symbolic, multimedia, and intimate narratives.
At 24, I graduated in New Technologies for Art at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, which was a turning point in my professional journey, sparking my interest in sociology and anthropology's role in career development. I believe animation can be much more than what we explore today, transcending its status as merely a subgenre of cinema to become an art form in its own right. I aim to carry this respect with me into the workplace and in my personal relationship with the works in which I participate.
