I would like you to introduce you Goum. He turns out to be the twin brother of a good friend of mine. When he showed me his brother's blog I went like crazy! It's just so cool! I just wanted to share it with you all as well as add it to the links list.

Hope you enjoy it!

Working At GRIN Barcelona

2008-08-22T11:18:00.007+02:00

Hey folks!

Though maybe it's just kind of old news I just wanted to let you know I'm back at home, working at GRIN Barcelona. I've been working here for some 5 months now. Pheeew, time goes by just really quickly!

It's a good place to work in. Great, nice people and some interesting perks.

We're now developing "Wanted: Weapons of Fate". It's a game, but it's also a kind of sequel from "Wanted" movie. Though it's not yet released, it has already been announced at the media and looks like people likes it.

Here goes some related links:

Never Let You Down at Aniboom!

2007-11-27T00:54:00.000+01:00

I've kindly been invited to enter Aniboom's 2nd Annual Awards '07. I've already posted my WIP "Never Let Your Down". As it's far from finished , it's on unpolished category. Even so, it's my pleasure to invite you all to come and have a peek at it. As far as I know some of you might have seen it, but come anyway and give a look. Just remember to vote on me should the short movie be of your like.

Here's the link: http://www.aniboom.com/Player.aspx?v=106339

Thank you for your support!

New Portfolio

2007-11-11T18:30:00.000+01:00

Some of you have actually realized there's been some time since I posted fresh work. It's not just me getting asleep. I thought it was about time to build me up a more pro portfolio. Now all my work is being uploaded to CG Society. Should you like to enjoy some new animations as well as a WIP of my short film, you've only got to go to:

I've also allowed a guest book there. Just in case...

Animator at MPC

2007-11-11T18:18:00.000+01:00

I'm really proud and excited to announce I've been hired by The Moving Picture Company, MPC for short, for they current project: Prince Caspian.

Last September I went on an AM gathering to London and we happily toured some major London film studios. I left my show reel on each one of them, eager to know what did they think of my skills. I was really delighted to receive positive response from all of them and MPC even offered me a job!

So, next week I'm moving to London, where I'll stay for some time. Thank you all for your support!

Previz workshop revisited

2007-05-24T17:22:00.000+02:00

Hi,

This is the sequence I came up with after my previz workshop at CGTalk. I know it's pretty unfinished, but as I stated previously, my computer crashed down. Everything I was on at the time is in the same state.

Anyway, let's cheer up and focus on my actual assignments. More to come...

Juan

All in one

2007-05-24T17:13:00.000+02:00

What's up?

I've collected all my shots so far in a single archive. It's by no means a reel, but just a collection of shots. Should everything go right, my first reel will come up this winter.

Enjoy it!!

Juan

P.D.: For some reason, reel is not displaying properly once uploaded. So, please, take your time and go down to watch shots one at a time. All the stuff posted in here as been previously posted. Sorry for the inconveniences, I'm working at that.

Trifles!

2007-05-24T17:01:00.000+02:00

Hey there!

As I promised, I'm coming back with this new shot. My computer crashed down while on production. I could seldom finish it by the deadline. It was a hard and stressing time. Now I can't stand taking it back, so I guess it's pretty much over for the shot. Try not to be too hard on me.

Acting 01 Revisited

2007-02-09T16:42:00.000+01:00

Hey folks!

Here I come with something new and something old! As you can see it's our well known Bishop shot. But now I have added up face stuff. So he's stoned no longer.

I hope you enjoy this and promise you next time you'll be seeing all new stuff involving... Two characters!!

Please, let me know you comments on shot. Thanks a lot!

Here is my vey first attemp in acting out a dialogue line. It was very estressing, but rewarding at the end. It's not exactly how I displayed it in my head, but that comes with the experience( lots of experience) and as it is an assignment directed by my mentor it's always a shared vision( though my actual mentor gives lots of free room for your own ideas).

Enjoy it and let me know if you liked it by leaving a comment.

Previs&Cinematography

2006-12-11T20:10:00.000+01:00

Hey folks!

I've just enrolled a previs workshop held by CGTalk. I've done so in order to add some skills to my curriculum and so I can get a good, solid storytelling for my AM short movie. I don't really want my animation getting spoiled or confusing because of bad shooting. Instructor is Brian Pohl, you can find out more about him at http://workshops.cgsociety.org/instructors/brian_pohl/.

I'm really excited about this new workshop. I'll show you my progress when its finally done.

All the images are instructor's works and are (c) 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm LTD.
