Atep M— Founder, Kinniku Animation Studio
Atep has spent over 13 years doing one thing: making stories move.
As a self-taught animator turned studio founder, he has written three animation books in Indonesian, won two of Indonesia's largest animation competitions in 2012, and built a body of work spanning video mapping, marketing videos, landing page animations, and cinematic brand storytelling — all crafted with Adobe After Effects and Cinema 4D.
His philosophy is simple: great animation isn't decoration. It's communication. Every frame should earn its place.
But what sets Atep apart isn't just the craft — it's how he works. He doesn't believe in transactional relationships. Every project begins with a conversation, and most end in a friendship. He's selective about who he works with, because he believes you have every right to enjoy the people you build things alongside.
