I am a Sr. Digital Compositing and Lighting Artist specialized in Animation feature films: 3D, 2D or mixtures of them.

In my work experience I´ve learned to have a good eye for color Grading, lighting, attention to detail and composition. Working closely with the visual effects supervisor and the compositing supervisor to determine creative and technical approaches. Maintain the overall look, color balance, and quality for assigned shots and effectively perform all necessary tasks while under tight production schedule deadlines.

One of the greatest pleasures of my life is the possibility to work in what you love with other people who feel the same passion as you. That is what I feel every day in a team environment, working all of us side by side for a same goal, and fighting every moment to bring each movie to its maximum level.
