Alberto Vidiella
Student of the Bachelor's Degree in Videogame Design and Development
I always loved the visual effects industry and always had the goal of one day being able to work on the films that made me fantasize as a child, so I decided to stay there a little longer and through hard work and preparation I managed to enter the industry. It's up to us to be whatever we want to be, with a goal, time and dedication.
