Plants and Trees

I want to create appealing environments for my stories and for my characters. Nature is an important part of this. These are some of the plant assets I have created for my work.

Travelling Around the World

A stop-motion animation using recycled stuff with photos. The helicopter is made of a kitchen spray and yogurt bottles and my cool pilot's outfit is made from things I had around the house. I've travelled a lot in my life, but this was the first time I flew a helicopter.

Model-Making

These are a few of the models I have made for stop-motion animation, some of which I have animated.

Ninon

A cabaret dancer as a box that I've animated in stop-motion

Fishes

Glittering carnival fish.

Crocodile & Frog

Models for stop-motion for children.

When You Can Hear the River

I made this as a student of animation while I was learning After Effects and other Adobe software. The first two minutes of the animation are pretty rough, but it improves after that. I like with the use of music and I think the story is good. I could improve on the animation and drawing now. It's about a flood in my home town in 1993, it's fiction based on fact. All the homes close to the river were washed away including mine. People were afraid to heed the warnings because of the likelihood of looting.

Grandad Go and Buy the Bread

I made this in honour of Idylio who goes out to get the bread and to salute 'Carnaval del Guaso', the Carnival of Guantanamo city, Cuba. It's a simple animation, but I'm pleased with the timing of the character's movements with the music and it's clear he's having a good time. The music is 'La Chambelona' which was the title of the very first Cuban animation.
