BioHominis

These are Flash-animated clips made for the promotion of a new medical lab in Mexico City. It was a fun project, I specially liked the fun and relaxed appearance these clips give this new lab, and they really have some interesting tests.


All animation was made with Flash.




This one was animated by me.







This other one was made in collaboration with my colleague, Lila Martinez.
The character design was made by Juan Carlos López de la Torre.

Margarina Primavera

I was very excited about this project when it came to us, mainly because I got to revive a classical character that has been animated for TV commercials since the decade of the 70's! I was thrilled when the project came to the studio and I was in charge of animating the character after almost 10 years of it not going on the air on TV. This commercial is for Margarina Primavera, a butter brand here in Mexico famous for its character of a little girl pulling a red balloon and asking people to give her a bite of whatever they are eating. But as cute and innocent as the girl appears to be, she gives a tremendous bite!

In this last video, the clean-up of the character was made partially by me and the other part by my friend, ex-VFS student and co-founder of our company, Lila Martinez, check out her blog! http://lilacolor.blogspot.com/

It was also commended to me to re-design the character to a more modernized version of it, like the 2010 version, for which I made an unofficial, rough, character re-design.

 

Proud of the promotion of "The Locket and the Sea"

A couple of weeks ago I was very happy to know my film was featured in One Huge Eye, a character animation webpage and a great source of inspiration by Alex Amelines, which features a wide range of great animated shorts of all techniques.

"The Locket and the Sea" was also featured in the animation channel Animation Muse on Vimeo, also part of One Huge Eye.

I was delighted really when Aniboom featured the film on their webpage also and was selected to be featured on their YouTube Channel, getting very good reviews, which I was very proud and happy to read! I thank the people who commented on it and liked it.

In the meantime I'm working on publicity animated spots in my natal Mexico City while polishing my second film, animated in Flash, to release it in a short time.
