  Freelancer

  July 2002 - August 2003

  Master of none? Perhaps. But this was a period dedicated to synthesize all that knew and dig deeper into film and visual effects. Did a bit of everything, from editing to 3D and finally decided to stick with compositing since it involved bits and pieces of everything that I knew and love. During this period I've also worked as an assistant for a professional photographer to get a glimpse of the craft and enhance my compositing skills.
