Rigger and Cut-Out animator from Argentina, specialized in Harmony with +15 years of experience. I started working with Flash (currently Animate), then Toon Boom Studio to finally specialize in Harmony for the last 9 years. As an animator I am very versatile. I can make very simple and fast animations in a short time or make sophisticated and complex animations, with a lot of details. I have worked in several audiovisual productions, as a generalist or covering different roles like character and background design, layout, rigging, animation or compo. I have a complete knowledge of the whole animation process, including screenwriting, storyboard, character design and editing. Besides Harmony, I frequently use Adobe Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects. In addition to that, I have worked in Motion Graphics, Post-Production and VFX. My professional goal is to integrate a team of innovative professionals with vision and exciting concepts that can be expressed through animation. My work strengths consist in having a wide knowledge of the whole animation process (I covered almost every role) and always being willing to work in a team, to give and receive feedback and to improve the production processes in order to achieve the perfect balance between quality and quantity of production.

    uniE608 Showreel - 2D Cut-Out Animation Generalist - El Mono Mario (2010 to 2018)
    Some samples of my work in the comedy web series for adults "El Mono Mario". Initially in the role of Junior/Senior Animator and later Animation Director. Once I received the script, my tasks included the scenes layout, the coordination and execution of the rigging and animation tasks in Toon Boom and the episode composition until it went to post-production. Because the Studio focus was the quantity of animated minutes over the quality, I developed a working system that consists in "recycling the rigging, posing and animation of the characters" constantly, which allowed us to make, for almost 8 years, about 5 minutes a week of animation with a team of 3 riggers/animators led by me. El Mono Mario tells the adventures of Mario, a playboy from other times, who gets into the craziest situations. It was and still is a very popular series in certain regions of Latin America.
