VISUAL EFFECTS
Title: " FILM Short VFX Show Reel"
Below, I refer you to the specific VFX supervision material I have done, where you can see more advanced techniques such as rebuilding massive CGI environments with Motion Control, HDRI and IBL lighting integration.
I would like to point out some of the names I've worked with, between James Bobin, Baz Luhrmann, Len Wiseman, Alex Kurtzman and Sr. Supervisors, Ken Ralston, Chadi Abo (Buf France ) and others of course, this to remind you of the level of production I've had and I still have the pleasure of collaborating.

CAREER
Like most kids, my mind was all over the place. I wanted to be an archaeologist first, then a marine biologist, and after seeing Jurassic Park, a paleontologist… But, when I realized that was misguided, I decided I wanted to be a dream maker. I was obsessed with movies and how they are made and absorbed everything I could from books, special features on DVDs and people in the field.
My passion drove me to work quite hard. Of course, I did have some training, starting with the only certified Softimage 3D school, at that time. Then, as I grew up I changed to other training courses and then, went abroad, always wanting more and more throughout.
ART DEPARTMENT
Visual Effects has been of course my main route in the Film Industry since I have realized that I was good enough to inspire the mood and the look of establishing sequences in great blockbusters.
Form concept artist to film designer for VFX studios, since landing to work with art departments straight with production designers and directors.
Some of the best examples are Conan the Barbarian, Snow White and the Huntsman, Total Recall, Alice in Wonderland 2 and the most recent The Mummy Reboot and STAR WARS: Rogue ONE
The VFX WORLD
I have been lucky enough to work with majors VFX studios worldwide, from Double Negative To Animal Logic, from Rising Sun Pictures to Sony Pictures Imageworks, and so on...
Working with so many talented people, that when I was a kid for me were just so far away, cheek to cheek with visual effects veterans, well, I am proud of it.
I became a Member of the Visual Effects Society in 2011, the most important award achieved for having contributed in a significant way in the visual effects on Harry Potter.
FILMMAKING
I started to get that director bug. Writing scripts, and developing stories.
While working on different projects, in 2006 I wrote a short, particular one that has been shoot 2 years ago.
I was Director, DP, Editor, VFX, Wardrobe, and Art department all in one...and I loved it!
I have been lucky enough to shoot some commercials when I was in Vancouver, for NIKE and Hyundai
Much more than this, I could merge my strong knowledge in VFX with the Director side, few of us can make this!
I still like to get dirty and draw ideas or create an oddball visual effect… It’s all part of the fun!

I can be your Second Unit Director, as well. I am ready for any job.
On Set Supervision: Happy to Sup or even assist on set when you are doing ambitious projects and need them done right!
There's nothing worse than going overtime on set., or worse wrapping and realizing things just weren't shot right!
CG+Visual Effects Supervision: This is typically where I spend my time in production whether I'm purely sup'ing or juggling shots as well, this is what I love and I am passionate about! Whether it's a live action or entirely CGI shots, comp heavy or you need someone to think on their feet as shots and sequence evolve.
BIDS: Technically, this goes under consulting, but a common thing that pops up is helping with bids both for commercials and tight turnaround projects, but also for feature films. If there's something scary and you're unsure of the numbers, I'm happy to collaborate to help out!
