"He understood the spirit of the strategy, and also the resistance of different audiences. That takes a very particular kind of knowledge, sensitivity and genius. If you want to go beyond prefabricated beauty, I highly recommend Andrés."

BEST ANIMATED SHORT 2024

• WATCH HERE

FUSION FILM FESTIVAL
LOS ÁNGELES - CALIFORNIA

Explainer video for subjects that are actually hard to explain.

A policy, a mechanism, a technical process, turned into a short film a non-specialist audience follows on the first watch.

What you get

• Story structure pulled from your source material: the policy document, the technical spec, the research paper• Storyboard and style frames for approval before a single second is animated• Full animation, in 2D or 3D depending on what the subject needs• Sound design and voice direction• A broadcast-ready delivery cut, plus the aspect ratios your campaign needs for social.

Brand motion that carries a campaign, not just decorates it.

Brand and marketing teams, and agencies producing a campaign that needs animated character work or a consistent motion identity across channels.

What you get

• Character and style design built for your brand.• A motion identity or campaign toolkit: the rules for how animation behaves across every asset• Broadcast-ready delivery, graded and specced to the channel’s standard• Format variants for social, out-of-home and paid media.

Creative direction for work that needs its own visual language.

Directors, studios and institutions who need someone to make the visual and creative calls, not just execute a locked script or a supplied storyboard.

What you get

• Creative direction, by the day or as a project package• Concept and character development built for the specific audience, not a template• A visual language designed for who the work needs to reach• Hands-on direction through animation, delivery and final grade.

The problem
The procedure, a new remote-controlled coil device treating cardiovascular aneurysms, travels a long and delicate path through the body, past several organs and critical structures. It had to read as clear and trustworthy, not clinical or alarming.

The approach
We modeled the device's movement after a black mamba: elegant, precise, deliberate, and animated it with that same rhythm. Building the full anatomical path in 3D let the camera travel through the arteries, the heart and finally the brain to reach and treat the aneurysm. Organs were rendered as glass or translucent plastic, so the device's position was always legible. A dense surgical process became clean, understandable and genuinely nice to look at.

The problem
The hard part was not technical, it was representational. How do you talk about family diversity in a public policy campaign without leaving out anyone the policy is meant to protect?

The approach
Stop motion, built by hand in clay. Hand-molding every character created a world of color and texture loose enough that any family, however it is shaped, could see itself in it. Staying away from realistic, human-like characters removed the built-in assumptions that come with them and opened the story to a much wider audience.

The problem
Most people have no idea what happens after the polls close, and that gap is exactly where myths about the reliability of the vote count take hold.

The approach
The client asked for a clay-style explainer, so I built one in 3D instead of on a physical set: a minimal, colorful world of clay-textured characters and paper backgrounds, where every element stands in as a clear symbol for a step in the counting process. Camera moves and framing were locked first in a storyboard, because the real constraint was time: modeling, animating and lighting a convincing clay and paper world in Blender in one week.

The problem
The same campaign needed a second version built for first-time, younger voters, on a much tighter deadline, with a script that covered nearly as much ground as the adult edition.

The approach
Younger audiences consume information fast, casual and always in motion. So the message became a conversation between two young women talking through the vote counting process the way friends actually talk, folding in disinformation myths and their corrections without ever sounding like a civics lecture. To hit the deadline, I designed the two characters and generated model sheets with ChatGPT image generation, used them as reference to generate scenes in Higgsfield, and produced specific line reads and reactions with Grok. All motion graphics were finished in After Effects, voices were recorded separately and the piece was cut in Premiere.

Client:
Gato Voyagero (own IP)

Role:
Director, animator, creator

Sector:
Original IP, advertising

Services:
3D animation, camera tracking, compositing

Year: 2025

The problem
An independent, largely unknown animated IP needed to announce itself at Bogotá's Comic Con, loud enough to cut through a room built on franchises with decades of name recognition.

The approach
A drone shot flies over the landmark arch of Corferias, a shape every Bogotano knows on sight, before Maow, the giant house cat lead of Gato Voyagero, walks beside it. Scale plus a familiar landmark stopped people mid scroll, and a ticket giveaway gave them a reason to act on the curiosity. The message stayed simple: Gato Voyagero is at Comic Con, come find him.

Client:
WarnerMedia (TBS, TNT, truTV)

Role:
2D animator (via agency)

Sector:
Culture, entertainment

Services:
Frame by frame 2D animation

Year: 2021

The problem
The agency's spot was built on flat graphic design assets and motion graphics, but one section needed real, fluid character animation that motion graphics alone could not carry, and the artwork on hand was not built for it.

The approach
I gave the flat character designs volume and movement without breaking the line art style already set for the rest of the spot. Key poses separated foreground characters from background characters and small animated details. Volumetric drawing plus full 360 degree camera moves built depth, with everything in frame moving in sync as it entered and left the scene. Foreground, midground and background were split by color, then the rough animation was cleaned up and vectorized to match the finished style of the spot.
