Hi, my name is Isaac Ruperez Cano, and I'm a lighting and compositing artist currently residing in Murcia, Spain.

Biography

After more than 10 years working in the University of Murcia at the video department, I have developed many skills and built my resilience to change, adapt and face new challenges with will and resolution towards the best possible outcome. I have a good understanding of software and technology used for current animation and video production. I obtained my BA in Journalism and a master's level degree in Arts at the University, and recently obtained a master's degree in Lighting and Compositing at Animum 3D Creativity School where I received an A grade. I speak Spanish natively, am fluent in English, and I'm currently learning Japanese. I am proficient in the Adobe Suite, Maya and Nuke, and can also work with Substance, 3DS Max, Unreal Engine, Katana and Blender. I currently use Vray and Arnold for work, and have done some personal work in Renderman. I also have a decent understanding of how shading and texturing work. I can understand and read some python and I am in the process of learning more about scripting languages for animation and VFX. I also have experience in the camera department, having been responsible for the cinematography and final look of some documentaries and promotional videos. I have an excellent understanding of color and light, and I am very creative when it comes to artist work and also in problem solving of any kind. I thrive in environments where everyone is working towards a clear goal, and can stay calm and focused when the schedule is tight. As a side note, I have also been a photographer, and have made over 20 books and photozines. I am concerned about climate change and collaborate with a workgroup focused on food sustainability and seed preservation. I lived in California during my 7th grade and have changed location when in need. I have no problem moving and I'm open to other cultures, ways of life and points of view.
