Ciudad de Gladiadores – Emmy Award-Winning Project

This project, developed at Gladius Studios for a university, was a unique opportunity where I had the privilege of leading the entire production, overseeing pipeline, VFX, lighting, rendering, and compositing.

Directed by Yamil Medina, who led the pre-production phase, the project was fully entrusted to me during production. Initially, I planned the workflow alongside CG Supervisor José Espinosa, and after his departure from Gladius, I took over completely.

Beyond directing, I was actively involved in production, working on lighting, scene assembly, pipeline development, compositing, rendering, and even managing the render farm.

Developed between 2019 and 2020, this project faced the challenges of the pandemic, yet we successfully completed it entirely remotely.

This project became a career milestone, earning me my first Emmy Awards in the following categories:
- Technical Achievement
- Best Commercial
- Animation & Motion Graphics

This is my flagship project; a testament to perseverance, innovation, and the power of a dedicated team.
