To put into words what it actually took to made this film happened is very difficult, more with my very deficient written english, so i will be short on words and leave you to watch the movie. Anyways i need to say that it took us over a year since the first pitch in August 2012, when i just sent some illustrations, until Jan 2013 that we got the GO to start producing this spot. Over all this time, we got a lot of ups and downs and literally the project got into the drawer several times. I did a lot of drawings, we developed a lot of ideas, we traveled, we met, we drank, we talked, we sent mails, we did storyboards, we change shots, but always in the best of moods and we are actually sorry that it came to an end, because we wanted to keep on this wave of frames and drawings. Thanks there to the creative team @ Martin, for giving me this chance, i learned stuff, i enjoyed stuff and made some friends on the way. And thanks to my team here because they're awesome and we together sweat the same to work this out. This campaign has more surprises to come over the next months, and i'm happy to be part of something bigger with studios i learned from and i admire a lot. I don't know if you will enjoy this as much as i enjoyed doing it. But we certainly made our best for that to happen!

The idea behind it is to show the history of humanity in about 1 minute (not an easy one!). Anyway the process behind was amazingly inspiring and didactic as well. Over all a great exercise of storytelling and rhythm. This was produced in 2009. Official Selection Siggraph 2009/2010. Interview @ Motionographer. Featured on Boardsmag, The reel.

Produced @ Boolab The objective of the campaign is to promote one of the Pilot brand’s latest models, the Frixion, whose main feature is that it lets you both write and erase. Based on this premise, the main task was to offer an unprecedented reading of the history of evolution in which the pen —a metaphor for divine intervention— provides a solution each time a problem arises, to rectify the situation and allow the species to evolve correctly through each of their stages. “Create, remove, evolve;” concludes the spot, bringing the point home. Created by the agency Grey, the campaign involved combining cell animation and stop motion techniques. Aired in Spain and Portugal, it has 20”, 30”, 60” and 90” versions.

They asked me to develop 3 different styles and animate a series of clips to work as a loop in the stores. The idea behind the visuals was to work always with the letters of the brand, so we worked the graphics always thinking in the subject of type in movement. They also asked me to create 3 different styles to swap depending the mood of the clothes and the store. Credits.

It depends on the occasion, project, and even the weather. Among my various personas, I try to give everything I do it's own voice. I strongly believe that experimenting is about taking risks during the creative process and playing with the possibilities of every project. I guess this idea explains the diverse nature of my work. If you want to find out more about me please check this interview I gave to the guys at gestalten.tv, where I speak about various subjects, even mystical ones.
