Ricardo is an award-winning Digital Compositor working in the cinematography industry since 2009. He made part of the team that won the Oscar for best Visual Effects in 2014 for Gravity, 2015 for Interstellar, and in 2016 for Ex-Machina.
He has been working on both areas, film and commercial projects for Industrial Light Magic, DesignStudio, Cinesite, Prime Focus, MPC, DoubleNegative, Trixter, Polarmedia, Netflix and Amazon.
Before starting his VFX career, he finished a master's degree in Architecture and worked as a 3d Artist with 3ds Max/Maya and Vray for Architectural Visualisation.
