Gabriel Castells

I got my Masters Degree in Digital Effects at Bournemouth University.

After my Masters Degree I decided to do the Technicolor FX Training and now that I've completed it, I'm ready to start working in the industry. Besides Houdini, they have taught me other soft skills like better taste, developing an eye to polish details, how to work in a team…

Now I'm working to improve my Python scripting skills. Also, I know the basis of Houdini simulations (Pyro, Water, Particles...), but I'm trying to get better to start doing more complex and professional looking simulations.

I’m highly motivated to work and do my best. I consider myself a quick learner, I get used to the workflow and pipeline very easily, and if I feel it is tough, I just don’t mind putting in some extra hours to get used to it faster.

I've worked in a few productions, always doing pre-production and production tasks (doing dossiers of sets, list of required elements, help with the shooting plan…). The most known of those productions is “Invisibles” directed by Gracia Querejeta.
