David Espitia Calderón

I am a young professional and recent graduate from RE:ANIMA, the Erasmus Mundus joint master’s degree in animation. I have 5+ years of experience in stop-motion, direct animation and illustration. During my career, I have explored the tangible dimension of animation through installations, using projections to encourage the interaction between the public and the space. I have also worked on award-winning animated documentaries focusing on social themes, working alongside vulnerable groups. I am able to communicate with the client, come up with original concepts and be a team player in any phase of the production process.

I am a multidisciplinary animator and illustrator with a solid foundation in traditional techniques and a penchant for collaborative, socially engaged projects. My work spans installations, documentary animation and freelance commissions, where I strive to tell meaningful stories with a hands-on, experimental approach.
