Sarah Arduini

Senior Animator, Rainbow CGI

Sarah Arduini is a Senior Animator born in Rome, Italy. She is a self-taught artist driven by her passion for Disney and has made an impressive career in the film industry over the past 10 years. 


She started in feature animation and ultimately landed in VFX and has been working for some of the most famous VFX companies in London including MPC, Framestore, and ILM. Together with the MPC team, she won the Oscar for best VFX movie, Disney's The Jungle Book. Afterward, she continued the Disney wave with Beauty and the Beast, joined the Marvel team for Guardians of the Galaxy 2, then finally reached the world-renowned company Industrial Light & Magic. There, she helped give life to the Supreme Leader, Snoke, in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and to the genetically modified dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom


Her latest success was reached with the role of Key Artist at MPC for The Lion King. Sarah is also an academic guest speaker and teaches Character Animation at an Italian university.


  • Video reference is the secret ingredient to great animation and Sarah’s course is a must for anyone wanting to learn or enhance their art and craft of character or creature work. Drawing on her talent and personal experience from some of the most challenging VFX films, Sarah will teach you to effectively use video reference to bring a new level of believability, realism, physical weight and acting performance to your work. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
