Career


Born and raised in Spain, Mielgo is currently established in Los Angeles, after having worked and lived in various countries of Asia and Europe.[6] Mielgo currently directs animations,[7] and works as an Art Director. In his spare time, Mielgo does his own projects and paintings.[8] While in London, Mielgo worked as an Art Director for Passion Pictures with Pete Candeland, Together they worked on The Beatles: Rock Band and Gorillaz projects.[9]

Mielgo's notable early projects include Tim Burton's Corpse Bride, The Beatles: Rock Band, both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Tron: Uprising by Disney, for which he won in 2013 an Emmy Award[1] and an Annie Award.[2][10]

Mielgo was hired by Disney as an Art Director for the animated TV series Tron: Uprising in 2013.[4] Director of Tron: Uprising Charlie Bean explained that the idea was to create a very special style for the digital show, which was not seen on TV or in the movies.[11] Bean worked closely with Mielgo, character designer Robert Valley, and supervising car designer Daniel Simon. Simon was responsible for the vehicle designs seen in Tron: Legacy, including the Light Cycles. Mielgo won the Emmy Primetime Award for Outstanding Art Direction in 2013.[1]

In 2015, Mielgo was a Production Designer/Art Director for Sony's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and he created an early animation test for the film.[12] At first, his main goal was to explore the world, comics, the past of Spider-Man, cinematography, language, style, opportunities.[13] According to Daniel Caylor, one of the animators on the film, Mielgo’s animation was widely seen by the crew and inspired their work before they began working on the movie.[12] The test animation was never completed - only four shots were completely finished and determined the visual language of the Oscar-winning film.[12]

In 2019, Mielgo wrote, designed and directed "The Witness" episode for Netflix animation anthology series Love, Death & Robots, which has won three Emmys[1] and an Annie award.[3] Mielgo's involvement with the series began when he was approached by its supervising director, Gabriele Pennacchioli, who put him in touch with David Fincher and Tim Miller, both fans of his previous work.[14] He recently directed two animated short films, The Windshield Wiper, a personal project focused on his vision of love and relationships, which won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 94th Academy Awards and "Jibaro" for Love, Death & Robots.[15][16] In 2019, Indie entertainment company Stampede[17] — founded by former Warner Bros. Pictures president Greg Silverman — announced to produce Mielgo's debut full length animated feature film.[18]
