Miami Lakes, FL, USA
Since November of 2009, I have been working as a 3D Artist and Motion Graphic Designer. My duties include creating 2D/3D animations for bumpers, next-ons, lower thirds, promos and logos for various channels. I am involved from conception to final production of the 2D/3D animations and motion graphics. This includes the development and creation new on air looks, including two fully animated characters for the Spanish language children’s channel Sorpresa.
My freelance work consists of CGI visual effects on two horror movies from 3D creature animation and creating and compositing visual effects. In addition, I have provided industrial 3D modeling and animation and instructional motion graphics videos.
I am a visual artist that uses the computer as a tool to create fine art and commercial works.
