Game mode: First Playable!
15 giu 2026We’re back from First Playable with our inventory full of ideas. From June 10 to 12, we were in Florence for one of the key meeting points of the Italian game industry. Organized by IIDEA (Italian Interactive Digital Entertainment Association), the national trade body that represents and supports the video game industry in Italy, the event brings together developers, publishers and creatives from across the international scene.
Representing Maga Animation Studio, Max Carrier Ragazzi and Massimo Gentili spent three days moving between meetings and new connections. Days were all about focused business and exchanges; nights opened up to a more relaxed atmosphere, discovering great projects and celebrating the industry together. A highlight of the event was the Italian Video Game Awards, a moment that really captures the energy and growth of the Italian ecosystem and the people behind it.
A big thanks to IIDEA for making all of this happen and for continuing to support and grow the Italian game scene!

A few days at Cartoons on the Bay
4 giu 2026We’re back from three days at Cartoons on the Bay 2026 in Pescara, on Italy’s Adriatic coast, one of the main international animation festivals, organized by Italy’s public broadcaster RAI.
From May 29 to 31, Max Carrier Ragazzi and Lorenzo Marini were there for Maga Animation Studio, moving between events, quick chats, spontaneous meet-ups and all those moments that make festivals like this so alive.
It was great to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones and exchange ideas with the international animation community in such an open and energetic environment. A special mention to the musicians we met along the way, unexpected encounters that led to really inspiring conversations.
Always good to be there!

A major win for NORA at Videoclip Italia Awards 2026!
1 giu 2026What started as an idea is now out there, on a stage!
On May 29, in Milan, at the Videoclip Italia Awards 2026, the main national award dedicated to music videos in Italy, Maga Animation Studio won Best Music Video or Animation Sequence with NORA’s “Beat of a Romance / Cha Cha Cha”, directed by Serena Tripepi with Giordana Raccah as animation director.
Being there, in that room, with so many people shaping today’s music video scene and hearing our project called, that hits.
Our CEO Max Carrier Ragazzi was there with 2D concept artist Clara Pirovano to pick up the award, but this is the result of a whole team that pushed this project forward every single day.
NORA ノラ is our virtual idol and digital artist, built as a real music act, with her own identity, voice and visual world. Everything was developed through a fully human-driven process, no generative AI. Just people, ideas and a lot of work behind every frame.
Thanks to the jury for the recognition and to everyone who’s been part of this!
