Rock Marí | Opening Credits

My illustrations all over Mexico City!!! :)
This is the opening credits animation for the Mexican feature movie Rock Marí. I was commissioned by the team of Maribel Martinez in Mexico to collaborate in the creation of diverse illustrations compelling the personality of this little musician girl (Rock Marí) who likes to travel and wants to be a rock-star. They had these aerial scenes of Mexico City and the idea was to populate all kind of "girly" illustrations giving life to the buildings during the initial credits. The work was done in a super short time, last minute job! At the end everything turned out good.

Thanks to Gabriela Badillo, Diego Huacuja and some other animators (I don't have all the credits) who made the great 2D/3D compositing, animation and motion tracking work on this piece.

Here are the illustrations I provided and the final animation!

Curious & Curiouser / Sneak Peak

Since its publication in 1865, Lewis Carroll's ‘Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' has enchanted the world with its curious characters and its even curiouser tale. It has been over more than a century and the fantastic world of Alice continues to captivate children and adults. With the highly anticipated film adaptation by Tim Burton hitting theaters later this month, Gallery Nucleus had invited artists of the feature film and beyond to create their vision of the iconic story and celebrate it's lasting legacy.

Opening Night only, glimpse into the creative brilliance of Disney Studios as exclusive concept art, production, and film stills will be shown from the upcoming Alice In Wonderland!

This is a sneak peak of what is my piece for the show Curiouser & Curiouser: Inspired by Alice in Wonderland'

David Kamp Identity

I was commissioned by the very talented and good pal David Kamp to redesign his Sound Design Identity in a fun and character driven direction, after a few different options he chose the one at the top on this post, along with it I created a speaker-character as an additional element to play with the new identity. Hopefully we will see it animated as well!
