From time to time I do freelance work for Sveriges Television (SVT). Great place, great people. It's really cool to work with news graphics, you really feel that the work you do matters. Often you only have a couple of hours to do the graphics, animation and rendering so you have to be smart about the decisions, specially take it easy with a lot of filters in After Effects that can take forever to

I spend a couple of months between the fall and winter of 2010 @ Thelma/Louise doing things like graphical packages for TV, coloring and motion design. One of the projects was a movie for Borås Komun done to promote the city. The project was finished recently over a year later, they wanted to put in some additional summer footage. I used Apple Color for the coloring and After Effects for the very

Greetings summertime! I have the fine luck to be part of the team behind the news graphics over @ swedens biggest TV channel, the great SVT, working with Rapport and Aktuellt. I'm there as an substitute over the summer and then some odd days here and there. Suits me perfect actually.It's very different from what I'm normally used to, the tempo is very high and you have (if your'e lucky) three hours

Yes, after a long time in the oven (far to long if you ask me) I finally took the time to finalize my 2010 showreel. Like a half year to late but ok who's counting anyway? It's like the best of the best of my freelancing during 1 year, I like to keep them short and intense so it runs just over 1 minute.Includes work for Thelma/Louise, EA, DICE, Filmtecknarna, House of Radon, Biolamina, Ericsson, Filmic

I was fooling around with Trapcode Horizon on a boring work day and suddenly this happened. I guess it was there all the time lurking, waiting…She really couldn't stand it anymore… (animated tribute to Jan Stenmark) from Juan Fernando Maguid on Vimeo.

I put together this little presentation about myself instead of writing a boring letter recently when I applied for a job. It sounded really fun, the work was to design childrens applications and games for the iPad and iPhone, something I have been wanting to do for some time now. And no, I didn't get the job but hey you can't win them all. Jessss.What I Like (animated presentation) from Juan Fernando

LAY DOWN THESE FOOLS HD - DCAP WON - ANIMATED MUSIC VIDEO from Juan Fernando Maguid on Vimeo.American Hip Hop producer and MC DCAP WON wanted something dark and epic for his track "Lay Down These Fools". And a bewinged creature. It ended up being something you could call a kind of deconstructed urban 3D grafitti (if you are a pretentious peep like me). Featuring a very scary flying baby head from hell.

I did three commercials recently were Hästens wanted to promote the release of their new expensive looking catalog, I really didn't have much to work with, some old footage shot on 35-millimeter and the idea: Make the transition between the footage and the new catalog. This is one of three it worked out alright considering I just had a couple of days to finish this.

Aloha! New stills from the music video for DCAP WON that I'm working on, I'm now really satisfied with the new blueish look for the video. Really interesting how these things work, you start off with something, you say to yourself "This is the look I'm going for" and the suddenly in the middle of it you go "No godamnit, THIS IS THE LOOK!". Creativity is a wierd thing.I think I want the whole thing

LTFD-STYLE-TEST-2.2 from Juan Fernando Maguid on Vimeo.Now I really feel that the style of the video is coming together. My general idea is that I want it to look like an abstract graffiti piece falling apart, the shapes coming to life.HD version here.

SH Pitch - Motion Graphics and Logotype Design from Juan Fernando Maguid on Vimeo.A pitch I did together with Johan Sondestedt from Cinematic for a swedish TV-show about the history of Sweden. They liked everything but the symbol in the logo. Later they went for a bigger production company.Normally I'm against pitching, I have to work for a living food doesn't automatically fall from the sky onto my

Woopee!I was very excited when prestigious swedish animation and production company Filmtecknarna called me for a new project, I did my internship there almost exactly one year ago and it's the first time they hire me so of course i'm totally looking forward to it.I will be doing some heavy After Effects duties on a new short film from award winning director Jonas Odell.

I worked as a junior compositor on this project doing tracking, keying, 2d textures, rotoscoping and basic compositing with After Effects and Fusion for visual effects supervisor Christian Bergquist. The commercial was done with a mixture of 2d, greenscreen and 3d animation and was produced by Raw Film in Stockholm. I will post the whole commercial later.

Audi Car Commercial from Juan Fernando Maguid on Vimeo.I did this project together with my mates Simon Victor and Gustaf Gustafsson during our studies in Eksjö, we used Maya, Eyeon Fusion, Shake and After Effects. Turned out nicely.

I did this all CG 3D Animation intro movie for Optea AB a couple of months ago, I only had 5 days for this HD project including animation, compositing, editing and rendertime so I used already built 3D models purchased from Turbosquid and built the 3D City with excellent free Cinema 4D plugin CityGen. I also used a track of mine called "Morning After". I had some problems with the well known GI flicker

The Great Adventures of Princess Galaxia and Capitan Jean Magoo from Juan Fernando Maguid on Vimeo.This was done while I was still studying compositing and animation @ IAA School Of Visual Arts in Eksjö. I contacted electronic maestro Håkan Lidbo and asked him if we could do a co-op, a mix between music video and short film. My lovely girlfriend Emma helped with the art work and it turned out really
