Hi! I´m Francisco Gabriel Arbert, a VFX and 3D Generalist with a passion for videogames and movies!

Biography

I began my studies at DaVinci Multimedia School, located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2017 and as my final thesis project presented "Triplicata: An animated virtual reality short film", to innovate in narrative and fully immerse myself in new technologies. Because of this work I was awarded the title of Comprehensive Director of Animation and Digital Cinema, concluding my studies in 2022. During the making of Triplicata, I continued to study and worked as a freelancer. My work includes logo animation, photo editing, and live-streaming production for Suize Productions, an electronic music event production company, and as of September 2020, I worked as an animator, texturizer, and video editor for a concept video series of a virtual reality app, developed by Mental Mastery VR, a company in Los Angeles, United States. I then worked at the production company Canica Azul, first as a 3D prop modeller and rigger, and later as a clothing rigger for the characters in the animated web series “Farmees” until March 2022. In December 2020 I took the Professional Training Course in Advertising Motion Graphics at DaVinci School, in which I learned composition, animation, and texturing methods with Cinema 4D and After Effects. In August 2021 I completed the Rigging Program for Technical Directors (TD's) given by Keyframe Animation School in Mexico, an advanced course of approximately 2 months with Professor Héctor Abraham Torres, where I learned advanced rigging techniques used in the big production industry using Maya. More recently, I have also participated in the production of visual effects for the short film "Donde Yace la Oscuridad" in 2022, a horror short film directed by Joaquín Gori. Right now I am currently continuing my studies on a postgraduate course in Visual Effects at George Brown College in Toronto, Canada.
