HOME and REEL

Hello! This is the work of Bernardo Varela, that would be me! Compiled here, are some commercial and personal work that I did as a visual artist and film director.
I’ve spent the last 14 years in highend post-production. That experience gave me a range of different skills related to motion graphics/video production/vfx/new media art. I’m available to collaborate (on-site or remotely) in interesting projects worldwide.

Have a look, make contact: bevarela@gmail.com
