We put a lot of love
into motion.

Milà Animation is made up of Alejandro Milà and Octavio Rodríguez, a studio based in San José, Costa Rica and with deep roots in Barcelona, Spain. We're not Doc & Marty McFly; the two of us are just the tip of the iceberg — our productions draw on the talent of professionals from all over the Americas and Europe, covering animation and scripts as well as voice acting and sound editing.

We're a 2D and 3D animation studio that puts the utmost passion, attention to detail, humor, and punctuality into all of our projects. We each have more than 15 years of experience in our respective fields, and in 2017 we decided to join forces to create commercial and artistic productions and to become a global reference point for animation.

Beyond the talent and experience we bring to the table, we also benefit every day — and many nights — from access to some of the best coffee in the world, an indispensable aid to the passionate work we put into every production.

The team

Alejandro Milà

Alejandro Milà

Barcelona, Spain · 1979

I have a degree in Illustration and Design from the JOSO art school in Barcelona, and I've spent my whole professional life at ad agencies as a designer who illustrates and as a freelance illustrator who knows how to tell compelling stories.

I'm an artist, illustrator, and designer, and I'm learning to be an expert at company administration, business building, and team management. Whenever I have a spare moment I like to do cool things with Cinema 4D and After Effects.

I love comedy and coffee. While Spain will always have a huge place in my heart, I enjoy the eternal spring of Costa Rica in my day-to-day life. I've been living here since 2011 with Vanessa, my soul mate, and our two sons.

Octavio Rodríguez

San José, Costa Rica · 1979

After graduating with a degree in communications from UCR, I lived in Barcelona for nearly ten years, where I studied film at CECC and built professional experience in editing and post-production.

Five years ago I returned to my native country to keep animating, cutting, coloring, creating effects, and retouching — and to pass everything I know on to younger generations of artists at Veritas University and CETAV.

When I'm not busy doing anything, which happens a couple of times a year, I like to board a plane and go somewhere to eat at a nice, leisurely pace.
