The Brief

Orgullo y Felpa is an original 3D animated short film that began as the final project for the Master's Degree in 3D Animation for the Entertainment Industry. Developed by a team of three, the film explores themes of prejudice, social injustice and the transformative power of friendship through visual storytelling
and stylised animation.

After graduating with the highest distinction, the project's creative potential led to its selection for Elevatorfy's mentorship programme, where it was awarded second place at the Demo Day. Since then, Orgullo y Felpa has continued its journey on the festival circuit, receiving an official nomination for the 2026 Alicante Film Festival and a nomination for the upcoming Badalona Film Festival, with additional submissions
currently under review.

The Process

Developing Orgullo y Felpa required a structured production pipeline and close collaboration between all three team members. Throughout the project, we worked iteratively, regularly reviewing each stage to ensure consistency in both the visual style and the film's narrative. During the mentorship programme, we also had the opportunity to refine the project with guidance from industry professionals Irene Espada,
Nuño Benitez and Lorenzo de los Ángeles, whose feedback helped strengthen both the
creative vision and the production process.


My work began during the pre-production phase as Storyboard Artist, translating the script into a clear visual sequence that established the film's pacing and cinematography. During production, I modelled several key props, including the slide, music box and armchair, as well as the plush narwhal character. I was also responsible for the UV mapping and texturing of most environment props, the music box and the narwhal, helping to define the film's final visual identity.

In post-production, I designed the opening and closing credits using motion graphics, while also creating the promotional posters and all visual materials required for festival submissions. This multidisciplinary workflow allowed me to contribute across the entire production pipeline, from the earliest visual concepts to the final presentation of the project.
