Meet Maow, your average house cat living in the heart of La Candelaria, Bogotá. But there's a twist – his caretaker happens to be a vampire, Azsch, who Maow hilariously mistakes for his own personal slave.
Fed up with Azsch's never-ending parties and noisy jiggles, Maow decides it's time to strike out on his own to find a new home. Along the way, he discovers that home isn't just a place – it's about finding himself. Join Maow on this funny and heartwarming journey as he learns what truly matters in life.

MANY THANKS
⚇ WORK / ANIMATION / FRAME BY FRAME / WARNER TBS
Warner's Latinx Heritage month
2D FRAME BY FRAME ANIMATION AND CLEAN UP DIGITAL
In this Warner spot, I participated with a fragment in traditional frame by frame animation, where there are 360 camera movements and various characters.
At the end I animated it in Adobe After Effects. This is the final product.
Now let's see on detail my part in this video.

Character rough Animation.
Frame by frame
Based in a vector illustration, here I defined the volume and interaction of characters.
Background and elements Rough Animation.
Frame by frame
The illustration had a bunch of little elements, so I separated each by colours to not get crazy in the camera movement.
360 Turn around.
Rough Animation
One of the most challenging parts of this video, the 360 grades turn around had to mix all the elements and characters in complete harmony
Timing.
Rough animation
This is the complete rough scene, Here I adapted the timing of the entire animation to the limit duration requested by the client
3D camera deep simulation
Rough Animation
For this character I made something different, I simulated in After Effects the curve and proportions of camera movement travelling around the character.
Final version
Rough animation
After finishing rough animation, the challenge was make it look like the vector illustration reference, so I animated the whole scene in After Effects.
And this is the final animation, but the scene had a time limit and everything went too fast, so this is my own version with a better timing.
