Junior VFX compositor focused on Nuke, with training in shot finishing and award-winning visual effects work on a live-action short film.
MexicoWhat I'm looking for
Through COMPOVFX ACADEMY, I’ve focused on Nuke-based compositing and shot finishing, practicing keying, roto, cleanup, and integrating elements into live-action plates. I’m developing a shot-based workflow through feedback, iteration, and final comp reviews.
On “DESconectado,” I collaborated with a three-person team on a live-action short film combining practical footage and visual effects, contributing across pre-production and post-production. My projects also include recreating a sequence inspired by *Rogue One: A Star Wars Story* and developing a 3D character using ZBrush and Maya.
