- VR FILMMAKER - DIRECTOR -
- 3D PREVIS & LAYOUT ARTIST -
I am working professionally since 2004 in different roles in several audiovisual media, like audiovisual production companies, advertainment companies, televisión broadcast channels or video games.
​
And finally I found my way... as Previs and Layout Artist.
​
In the last years I have been working at Ilion Animation Studios as Layout/ Previs Artist in the feature animation film for Paramount Pictures “Amusement Park”, Layout/ Previs Supervisor at Zinkia (Pocoyó 4th Season, where I have implemented Layout Department on his Pipeline because they was working without it), at Trixter Munich as Senior Previs Artist for the feature animation film "Tabaluga". At Doodle-Production (London) as Lead Layout Artist for Messy goes to Okido 2nd Season for BBC. At People Moving Pixels as Lead Previs/ Layout Artist for Talking Tom and Firends 4th Season and nowadays at Big Bang Box as Layout/ Previs Supervisor for new IP MoMonsters for ClanTV.
Besides I have experience as Short Films Director and currently I have founded the Youtube Channel TAPE360.net focused in 360º videos for Virtual Reality.
