The November issue of Renderout magazine has just come out, in which I wrote an article about how to get organized by working with Nuke and avoid some problems compositing in visual effects. You can read the article and the rest of the magazine at the following link (in spanish):
About tracking markers in green backgrounds (and Animal Crossing)
A few days ago, while playing Nintendo Switch’s Animal Crossing, I made a joke on Twitter that I had been able to create a VFX shooting studio inside the game with its green chromakey background and tracking markers. From there came a debate about why those backgrounds are used in movies and the possible complications they could have. I will …
Dinosaurs & Pirates
After spending a fantastic time in Goobye Kansas and the Christmas holidays I was working for Important Looking Pirates, also in Stockholm.

A Pink Llama & A Terrifing Storm
After finishing my work at Along With The Gods in Goodbye Kansas, I’ve been working on other projects like this cute champagne commercial for Jules Mumm starring a funny pink llama that invites some office workers to create a party. I was very surprised by the impact that the character has had on social networks! I have been able to …
Nuke tool: ekaGradient
Throughout this time I have used some techniques that I have repeated in my compositions. These are simple methods but quite useful, so I’ve decided to start creating some scripts to have them easier than typing them from scratch whenever I need them. ekaGradient is the equivalent of Photoshop’s color gradient or Colorama in After Effects, something I’ve always missed working …

Star Wars VS Spanish Football Team
Last week I worked as a Nuke compositor in the advertisement of the announcement of the Star Wars new film, The Force Awakens, made by Movistar with the Spanish National Football Team. In the plot, one of the football balls is in fact the little droid BB8 that is pranking the players. [youtube width=”600″ height=”344″]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vb_2e2Ylmkc[/youtube] There is a recording of the …
New material
I finally released a first version of my VFX reel with my works that I’ve made along 2014. I said “first version” because I’m making alternative (and more personal) versions of some shots. Most of them are from the Barcelona, La Rosa De Foc (The Rose Of Fire) and I make some breakdowns also. For example I’m compositing the “Supercomputer” …
