MauseCorp 'Chocolate' - Teaser Animatic

2015-01-08T04:55:00.000-08:00

Hello everyone! I wanted to add this to my portfolio for a long time. Here is the animatic I created for the teaser of the show 'MauseCorp', a concept co-developed with Juanma Sanchez at Genoma Animation Studios.

Drawings are not any wonder, but enough to define the visual ideas, beats, timming and acting performances we needed for production. I also used reference audios, but this time I'm showing the animatic with the final teaser audio track. Hope you like it!

With 50 episodes all set, the show is ready to blast off in US public TV and broadcasters around the world in 2014... and looks really promising!! I wish for it an astonishing flight!

Introducing 'BitSeller'! - Official Teaser

2012-10-30T08:42:00.000-07:00

I am very proud to present you 'BitSeller', an animated feature shortfilm written and directed by great Juanma Sanchez and produced by Genoma Animation Studios in Granada.
Since the project started in 2010, I have had the priviledge to work in BitSeller mainly as Storyboard artist and 3D Character animator. The shortfilm is almost done by now and the experience with Juanma and the team has been really exciting and rewarding. And the result is just fantastic!

Mau - Character animation tests

2012-10-18T07:11:00.000-07:00

These are some personality tests I made for the development of the TV show 'Mau & the Grandkids' for Genoma Animation Studios. I had lots of fun with them as the animation is quite simple and I had full freedom to explore the character's poses and attitudes. Most interestingly, all the animation is on two's. Introducing you to Jacobo and Tony!

Estos son algunos tests de personalidad que realicé durante el desarrollo de la serie 'Mau & the Grandkids' en Genoma Animation. Fueron ejercicios divertidos ya que la animación era sencilla y tenía total libertad para explorar las poses y actitudes de los personajes. Lo más interesante es que toda la animación es a doses. Con vosotros: Jacobo y Tony!

Also, a short animation test with main characters Mau and Sofia.
