How long have you been active in the market?

With 18 years of experience in the field, I've delved into the world of CGI and VFX, working as a Editor, VFX Artist,? 3D Artist and CGI director in films, while holding a degree in product development and graphic computing.

How do you? believe you contribute to the team?

I consider that I contribute to the team in three areas: strategic vision, team development, and monitoring and execution in production.

Regarding the strategic vision, given the heavy workload, it is essential to think and organize how the films will be produced. Finding the right people is a complex task, given Elephant Skin's high quality standards.

As for team development, the pursuit of improvement is continuous. Exploring new techniques and workflows to elevate quality is challenging and exciting. Additionally, developing the artists by sharing experiences and knowledge, and demonstrating the possibility of building something great in the long run is incredibly rewarding.?

To conclude, in monitoring and executing production, I am present from the script stage to the finalization of the last scene of the film in post-production. At this stage, I stand by the team, providing support and resolving complex situations, always aiming for outstanding results and the best possible quality.
