My current position

As a creative supervisor for animation & script at Rovio Entertainment, my current role involves the supervision of the creativities for the Angry Birds animation series —scripts, animatics, art, animation, lookdev, compo and final mix—

Juanma Sánchez Cervantes - ANIMATION DIRECTOR

I started creating computer animation in the early '90s, in Spain, together with my Computer Engineering and Fine Arts university studies. Without any doubt, the '90s were a very special decade for CG animation lovers.

In 2000, I founded Genoma Animation, a CG animation studio that provided services and also produced its own IPs, like "The Secret Life of Suckers", a 104 x 2 min. TV comedy produced with Disney Television.

As an independent director, in the last 15 years, I've been collaborating on a wide range of projects, such as directing several Angry Birds series or assuming the position of Creative Director at Genera Games (now Scopely).

Currently, I am taking on the role of Creative Supervisor for animation and script at Rovio Entertainment, the home of the Angry Birds and part of the SEGA family.

The last gig with my studio Genoma Animation was the complete CG animation production for the TV special Fairy Tale Forest, directed by Mark Risley, created by Margarethe Baillou, Jody Gray and Allan Neuwirth, and with Mel Brooks and Whoopi Goldberg in the cast. - Watch the trailer on YouTube

" I've had the pleasure of working with Juanma on multiple projects over the course of many years and he has not only never disappointed me he has always exceeded my expectations.

... An artist like this with a producer's sense of production is indeed a rare find. "

Mark Risley, Director.

" Getting to collaborate with Juanma recently on an animated musical project for TV has been, without question, one of the great joys of my professional life. As a person, he's simply a delight -- and as a director, designer and producer, his talent, energy and dedication are spectacular.

I would work with him again in a heartbeat! "

Allan Neuwirth, Emmy-nominated, award-winning Screenwriter & Producer.

" I was fortunate to work with Juanma on two projects. Two projects with a lot of volume of work and shots. Juanma is a very meticulous professional. And I was very impressive his skills in terms of organization and team-leading. Also, Juanma doesn't overcontrol the process and this is the most important thing in a creative team. As an artist, I hope to work with him in the future.

I only have kind words for him and I highly recommend him for any project. "

Luis Velasco, Senior Animator at Skydance Animation.
