Will Taccone Colón

I've been leading and delivering high-quality 2D and 3D animation and post-production projects for over twelve years. I have worked with diverse and renowned clients, such as Disney, Microsoft, Lego, IBM, GE, Twitter, Spotify, and PepsiCo, among many others, to help them communicate their brand stories, products, and services in engaging and effective ways.

I have also been sharing my passion and expertise for animation and motion graphics as a lecturer and instructor at various academic institutions, most recently as the Five-College Visiting Assistant Professor of Computer Animation at The Five Colleges in Amherst, MA. There, I have taught several undergraduate courses, contributed to curriculum development, and advised students on their creative and scholarly work. I have also been a board member of the Advertising Club of Western Massachusetts, where I supported the programming and events for the local creative community.

Kathryn Colón Taccone

I have a strong passion for Animation and a demonstrated history of working in commercials, games, and more.

My current goal is to continue building our empathy-driven studio while giving back to the community and industry that has given me so much over the last decade of my career. I happily volunteer my time to mentor and share any knowledge I have for breaking into the industry and creating a happy and healthy career.

I always look forward to making new connections and having open and honest discussions. If you're interested in talking about business, animation, pinball, board game development, life and death, and everything in between, let's connect!

Years of Experience

Open Pixel Studios started in 2017 and we've built work for some amazing agencies and notable clients across the U.S.

Integrated Values

We bring our values into every project because we want to see you, our creatives, and the work succeed.

Diverse Voices

Diverse Voices shape our work and our workplace. As a safe space in Springfield, we practice inclusive hiring that welcomes all races, genders, and identities. You’ll hear diverse perspectives in our scripts, in the voiceover artists we cast, and in the lived experiences we center throughout our creative process.

Equality

Equity guides how we share knowledge, build partnerships, and grow our creative community. It’s why we offer workshops for clients who are new to production, run an internship program for students moving into the workforce, and provide training for freelancers through our podcast, creating pathways for those who might otherwise be left out.

Community Building

Community Building is at the core of our creative practice. We host a freelancer Discord to foster connection, produce podcasts that bring clients and creatives into shared conversation, and organize meetups and networking events to strengthen relationships across our network. We believe creativity thrives in community.

Creative Expression

Creative Expression is at the heart of everything we do, from the way we craft visuals and write scripts, to how we simplify complex ideas through storytelling. It guides our creative direction and thrives in collaboration, welcoming input from clients and empowering our network of freelancers to bring their voice to the work.

Accessibility

Accessibility drives how we design, deliver, and distribute our work. From formatting content for broad audience access to animating educational stories, we prioritize clarity and inclusion. We share work across multiple communication channels, hire remotely, and rely on ethical technology, all to ensure our work reaches more people, in more places.

Transparent Information

Transparent Information is a core value in both our content and our collaborations. We stand for truth in the stories we tell, lead with honesty in conversations about feasibility, and create with clarity of intention. We're committed to openness, including showing how we do the work, not just the final result.
