This Guy Kris

[vc_separator][vc_single_image image=”3086″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”]
Hello folks! My name is Kris Cabrera, I am a lighting artist based in the greater Los Angeles area. Originally i am from Miami,Fl born and raised. I went to the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale were I got a Bachelors in Visual Effects and motion Graphics,not that it really matter in this industry, but i just thought i throw it out there incase someone gets impressed. I wasn’t your usual artist that decided he wanted to do visual effects when he saw Star Wars, it sort of came to me nearing the end of high school. I sat down on the computer one day and decided i wanted to do something that will catch people attention, and what better field than the Movie Industry. I also consider my self a big car fan, i have always been into cars and try to express that car love in my CG. So with that being said check out my work and let me know if i caught your attention. I tend to do alot of photography in my spare time, not professionally I just like to go out and take pixs. My spare time is mostly for my kids and racing, real big fan of F1 and karting. Every time I get a chance i go out and do some races, which got me into doing a GP series over at call speed in fontana. Currently i live in Chino, Ca, not your average artist who lives in LA, but it works better for me and my family out here. So this is what i bring into the CG world, I try to maintain a good flow of personal projects but its very tuff when u have kids, I cant stay in front of the computer till 4am, well not everyday. Feel free to drop me an email i love to collaborate on projects!

What I do

Lighting

I am a Lighter at heart, they say the first year or two your trying to find whats most attractive to  you in CG. Very early on in my career I quickly found that lighting was one of the parts of CG I liked the most, and I have been doing it SINCE!! It kinda hard to explain to civilians what I do when I get asked the question, so if there any civilians lurking on here am gonna try my best. Basically I sit in front of a computer all day and put lights in an environment and make things look like they are real when they are fake! But in a nut shell that’s it!

Generalist

This is for none civilians, so early on in you career you also get the chance to work on many things. Through out those years I have managed to get a good grasp on many different aspects of CG. Anything from asset building to texturing, animation, and some FX and fluid work. I mainly focus more Generalist work towards 3dsmax, but I do work in maya as well.

Compositing

This is also not for civilians, I have had a good share of shots to composite. I mainly work with Nuke for compositing as well as After Effects. I mainly do alot of Full CG compositing and every now and then I get live action to composite as well, and like everything I feel like I need to do more COMPOSITING!
