Raúl García
Alumni of the Bachelor's Degree in Animation
I entered ESNE without knowing much about this world, and thanks to a great effort, and the help of teachers and people who have been helping me whenever I needed it, I have been able to work, during these few years in the industry, in Warner and Disney productions such as "Nivis friends from another world" or "Phineas and Ferb, Candance against the universe.
Diego Porral
Alumni of the Bachelor's Degree in Animation
After studying animation at ESNE, I stayed in London rotating through animation studios such as The Line, Headless, Golden Wolf, Sun Creature, Nexus and others. Right now I'm working as an animation supervisor for a very interesting Netflix project, which unfortunately I can't talk about right now.
