Hello! My name is Marius Wilhelm Jiro Magracia, and I was born and raised in Japan, Italy, and Germany. Animation has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I started out on YouTube as a kid, building a large following that inspired me to study the craft more deeply.

I completed my studies in Animation at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg/Animationsinstitut in early 2024 and continued with Animation Mentor in 2025. During my diploma, I had the privilege of serving as Lead Animator on A Sparrow’s Song — a project that went on to win the 2025 Student Academy Award. My role involved not only animating key shots but also guiding the team, maintaining stylistic consistency, and providing feedback to fellow animators.

Over the past year, I’ve been working professionally in the animation industry as a character animator on feature films, TV, and commercial projects. Along the way, I’ve gained hands-on experience in 3D Animation, 2D Animation, Directing, Art Direction, and Team Leadership, working with mentors from studios such as Pixar and DreamWorks.

For me, animation is more than a career — it’s a way of living. I love to observe, explore, and capture life through movement, and my goal is always to entertain and inspire audiences around the world.
