Hi, I’m Rubén Baeza 2D animator with a passion for character design. Ready to transform your ideas to a movie! I have four years of experience in productions and a track record of learning during training. I’ve helped lead a small team to create a short film from scratch through post-production, and I’ve worked in the children’s video game sector. I also have knowledge of 3D animation and basic modeling, and I’m eager to contribute to creating new visual stories and improve the process. Based in Valencia, Spain, I’m committed to ongoing learning and collaboration on diverse projects. I’m skilled in 2D and 3D animation, character design, illustration, and graphic design, and I thrive in team environments where I can contribute across the whole production pipeline.
