Here is my Reel
Diego’s journey is a little different than most Director’s.
* Rather than coming up through the ranks of production, Diego developed his talent first in the digital realm, and therefore, has a "visually anything is possible" approach to Directing. He possesses the quiet confidence of knowing that if his vision doesn't exist in the practical world that he can draw on his own talents to create it himself via his mastery in the VFX world.
* Diego began as a Motion Capture specialist and 3D animator for some big titles in the gaming world ( some companies include EA, Activision, Novalogic) then made the leap to Visual Effects Supervisor for commercials, film and music videos, then expanded into Motion Graphics Design creating Award Winning original Graphics-driven commercials and Show Openers for national clients (such as Honda, Rooms To Go, Wilson Tennis, Cyndy Crawford, Smash Mouth to name just a few). All the while he maintained an avid love for photography and lighting. Within the last couple years all of those talents finally merged resulting in him becoming a full fledged Commercial Director of the projects that he has been called on to design and animate.
* Diego has already developed an impressive body of work but in his mind he has barely scratched the surface of what he would like to do. He would love to continue to Design and Direct the Motion graphics driven commercials that have become his signature, but would also love to expand into the world of music videos where he could really push the visual bounds of what is possible where the only product to sell is the stars and their music.
* Diego is the ultimate package deal in this troubling economy. He is a Director/Designer/Photographer/VFX Supervisor who can edit and animate his own work. Six for the price of One. Quite easy to sell.
Diego is all about the work. It is his life and love. He strives to not only exceed clients expectations, but to achieve it through conscious and inspired collaboration.
Diego can take a project from concept to air and he understands the most efficient ways to accomplish that saving money and time.
His goal is to leave all involved satisfied with both the product and the process by which it was achieved.
Diego has a commitment to excellence on all levels that makes the difference in the eye popping visuals he produces. Enjoy the work!!!
