Visual Effects
Some projects where I worked with particle simulation, motion capture, VFX, chroma-keying, tracking, rotoscoping, and post-production effects. (lighting, coloring, compositing, and editing)
Using Maya, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Audacity, and After Effects.
Teniriam
When the town of Teniriam breaks into a war over the search for the bracelet that opens portals, the sisters Hiyya and Sooha must protect it at all costs, preventing it from falling into the hands of the villain Gideon.
Teniriam is a short film created mixing live action, motion capture, rotoscoping, green screen, video and sound editing, lighting, and composition. The world was created with Unreal Engine 4, the editing with Adobe software After Effects and Premiere Pro, the character and background design with Photoshop and Sketchbook, and the mocap with Vicon, Motion Builder, and Maya.
April- July 2022
Age of Darkness
To bring Age of Darkness out, we had to work for three months to achieve the expected results. We started with the script, where we planned to practice our motion capture knwoledge and compositing techniques by mixing live-action surroundings with a mocap character.
The story is about a warlock who has to defeat an evil demon who wants to bring out the devil in every person in the world. To succeed, he has to use his magical powers and ability to create portals because he knows how dangerous it is to be near the demon, who has also learned some dark magic tricks.

Project in Progress
Bridget the Witch Hunter
With a group of friends from college, I am pursuing the idea of creating a 3D animated series.
We are in the pre-production process: organizing the pipeline, modeling the background and props, and rigging characters. We are aiming to do an introductory musical video to get sponsors and expand our team.
I am currently involved in the development of the story and the main visual effects artist.
