Mario Orlando

Animator
Industrial Light & Magic

Mario Orlando has been a professional animator since 2005 and is currently an animator at Industrial Light & Magic. He was previously at ILMxLab, a Lucasfilm immersive entertainment studio that creates interactive, virtual storytelling. He honed his animation skills at Animation Mentor and graduated in 2015. Mario is a huge Star Wars fan so it was a dream to work at the studio where it all began. A fun fact about Mario is that his father and brother have the same name he does, with different middle names. He currently teaches Body Mechanics, the second Core Character Animation Course at Animation Mentor.
