Lucas possesses an extraordinary blend of creativity and technical prowess as an artist and animator. It was an absolute privilege to collaborate with someone so adaptable, capable of transforming any concept into a piece of outstanding work. His knack for explaining complex ideas clearly added value to our processes, enabling us to crystallize and actualize our goals at the studio. His resourcefulness and dependability made him an invaluable member of our team. Moreover, Lucas demonstrated remarkable consistency in his work, allowing us to adhere strictly to our timeline and exceed our initial objectives. Working with a talent like Lucas doesn't just elevate your project; it inspires your entire team, sparking a renewed enthusiasm about the task at hand. His contributions left an indelible imprint on our studio and we eagerly anticipate the day when we may have the opportunity to collaborate again. His unique blend of talent, reliability, and diligence truly sets him apart in his field.

Peter Ariet • Co-Founder and Producer at Studio Syro
I worked with Lucas for over 3 years. As an animation lead, he always put forward the needs to get the job done, but also gave artists chances to work on cool and fun shots that interested them. He always had a great scope of the projects so you knew how far and what areas to note so the shots would get to the best spot possible by the deadlines. Lucas has become a great friend in my life and I would definitely work with him again and again on any other future projects.

Evelyn Hernandez • Animator at Luma Pictures
Lucas worked with me on the project titled Reimagined Volume II: Mahal. Throughout this project, Lucas was a key leader on our team. As the Lead Animator & Storyboard Artist, he not only managed the team of artists but also worked directly with me as a director to build and create the overall camera, character choreography, and acting beats. Lucas is not only a skilled and seasoned artist and animator, but he is also a communicative and transparent collaborator. Even under the pressure of tight timelines and lengthy feedback, Lucas was calm, collected, and professional. His work is superb and his endless contributions to this project made it an engaging and appealing film for audiences of all ages during its world premiere at Tribeca Festival 2023. Regardless of the scale of the project, the size of the team, or the technical difficulties, Lucas has proven his ability to lead and work efficiently and collaboratively within any environment. I would be more than happy to work with Lucas again on a future project, and I cannot recommend him enough to any team, company, or project.
