Between one keyframe and the next.
I'm Luis Quintanilla, a generalist motion designer based in Milan. 2D and 3D animation, working alongside creative teams.
I've worked with communication agencies for years: first from the inside, now also from the outside, alongside their teams.

Work
Professional and personalA selection of projects where I took part in every stage of the creative process, from the first idea to the last frame. Alongside them are personal projects: that's where I try new techniques before using them for real.
About
My background sits at a crossroads: industrial design, front-end development and a passion for animation that, over time, became my craft.
I've mostly worked in communication agencies. That's where I learned to read a brief, to handle changes of direction and to care about the details nobody notices, until they're missing. Freelance collaborations taught me the other half of the job: running a project from start to finish.
Every different context left me with one more tool. Today, when I work with a team, I step into its workflow, its files and its conventions. Sometimes I follow the whole process, sometimes just the stage where an extra pair of hands is needed. I work in 2D and 3D, across After Effects and Blender, and the work always belongs to whoever signs it.

Off screen
When I'm not animating, I'm walking. And at night I look up.
Hiking, camping, mountain huts and, when the sky is clear, astrophotography. The rest of the time I'm discovering new music, studying new ways of making animation and, lately, exploring Milan.
