My name is Pablo Pollaci, and I am a visual effects compositor with 14+ years experience.
During this period, I have worked in films, TV series and commercials on several of the leading VFX studios in Latin America, both on local and international projects. From full CGI to live action and even stop motion.

My educational background includes a bachelor degree in Computer Animation, and a High School Diploma in Computer Science. I have also taken courses on color theory and advanced CGI compositing.

I am a deep believer that the latest techniques and a tailored, efficient pipeline will give you the advantage over the competition. It’s not just what you can do, it’s how you do it.
I'm always on the lookout for new ways to solve problems, improve our pipeline and help fellow artists finish their work faster. I’m an efficiency-oriented person, even in the smallest details.

Specialties: Nuke, After Effects, Mocha, Python, R&D.

If you have a project I can help with, please get in touch. I welcome the opportunity to further discuss my VFX compositing background and how it could benefit your team.
