My name is Miguel Rodriguez. I’m a multidisciplinary designer and digital artist. Professionally, I’ve been working for the past 15 years on various types of design-related projects, including graphic design, product design, and motion design.
In my spare time, my passion for art and visuals goes back even further. I’ve explored CGI, photography, cinematography, and animation. I have a deep love for creating visually cinematic motion pictures with a dark and intriguing atmosphere.
What do I do?
I’m working on blending all the knowledge I’ve acquired throughout the years to create cinematic animations and short films.
What software do I use?
- Blender 3D – for my entire 3D and animation workflow
- Davinci Resolve – editing, color grading, basic sound editing
- Photoshop – for photo and image rotuching, although I’ll try to stick to open source alternatives!
- Illustrator – for vector work. Again I’ll try to stick to open source alternatives here as well.
- Figma – I’ve used this for some years now and it’s probably the best tool for UIUX design, but I’ve used for creating textures and graphics. It’s so powerful and free on the basic features!
- Others – I’ve been working with the entire adobe suit for many years so at some point I could dig into something specific for those.
Not only stylized animation
I experiment with different visual styles, including stylized 3D animation and live-action. Cinematography is an art I want to continue learning and practicing!
Why Patreon?
Working on personal and passion projects gives me the freedom to create without worrying about limitations or constraints related to production or product considerations. I have full control over the creative process, allowing me to invest time and resources in projects that may not necessarily be profitable but can result in a satisfying creative outcome. Patreon offers a unique chance to get the support I need to dedicate to these projects and keep exploring.
