How I work
From the recce to the hand‑off
Pre-production
VFX breakdown of the script, shot planning with the director and DP, previs and technical recces.
On the day
Every VFX shot captured right: camera and lens data, clean plates, HDRIs, references, tracking markers, chroma and LED setups.
Virtual production
Unreal Engine environments and real-time workflows on LED volumes, supervised from the stage.
Hand-off to post
Organised, verified data and clear notes, so compositing goes faster and costs less.
Own kit
I bring my own on-set VFX kit
A complete on-set VFX kit for data capture and wrangling, with everything a shoot needs when there's post-production afterwards. The production doesn't need to rent any VFX gear.

FAQ
Questions producers ask
Do you travel for shoots?
Yes, anywhere. I'm based in Barcelona and travel wherever the shoot is: Madrid, the rest of Spain or abroad.
Do you bring your own kit?
Yes. I have a complete on-set VFX kit with everything a shoot needs when there's post-production afterwards: HDRI capture, chrome and grey balls, colour charts, LiDAR scanning, survey tools, tracking markers and on-set data backup.
Does my shoot need an on-set VFX supervisor?
If there's post-production afterwards, it's always worth it. Problems get solved while shooting instead of being fixed later in compositing, which saves time and money in post.
Can you supervise virtual production and LED volume shoots?
Yes. I supervise virtual production shoots with Unreal Engine and LED volumes.
What does post-production receive after the shoot?
The maximum information from the shoot: data for every shot filmed, HDRIs, detailed shot-by-shot VFX data sheets covering everything on the day, measurements and real-scale scans.
Do you also do VFX data wrangling?
Yes. I capture and organise the VFX data on set myself: camera and lens data, HDRIs, references and scans, delivered to post as VFX data sheets with verified backups.
How much does an on-set VFX supervisor cost?
The day rate depends on the length of the shoot, the location and the crew needed. Send me your dates, location and type of shoot and I'll reply with a quote within 24 hours, usually the same day.
How quickly do you reply?
Within 24 hours, usually the same day. Send your dates, location and type of shoot.
