জীবনী
Alessandro Ongaro, born in Lugano, Switzerland, holds American, Italian, and Swiss citizenship. While studying design at the School of Design in Milan, Italy, he began using computers to produce photo-realistic 3D renderings for the architecture sector. After graduating in 1998 and returning to Switzerland, he became a pioneer in integrating computer skills into post-production for film, television, opening sequences, and music videos. In 2000, he designed and created the opening titles for the Locarno International Film Festival.
That same year, Alessandro shifted his focus to the Feature Film industry, moving back to Milan where he joined Digitalia Graphics, a leading Italian visual effects company. During his time there, he contributed to notable films including Brucio Nel Vento by Silvio Soldini, Vajont by Renzo Martinelli, Io Non Ho Paura by Gabriele Salvatores, and Paramount Pictures' The Italian Job.
After five years with Digitalia Graphics, Alessandro moved to northern California in April 2004 when ESC Entertainment (known for The Matrix Trilogy) hired him to work on Paramount’s Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves. Following Constantine, he joined DreamWorks Animation and worked on films such as Madagascar, Over The Hedge, Shrek: Forever After, Turbo, and Kung Fu Panda 3.
Alessandro’s work has been published internationally, and he is frequently invited to speak at global conferences in his field. He also participated in the worldwide traveling exhibition Swiss Design in Hollywood, alongside H.R. Giger, the original designer of Alien.
In 2015, Alessandro joined DNEG, contributing to major projects like Ant-Man and the Wasp, Men in Black: International, and Ghostbusters: Afterlife. Most recently, he served as VFX supervisor and second unit director on Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire before returning to Marvel to work on Captain America: Brave New World.
