DÍDAC PARDO MARTÍNEZ - FX Artist

FX Artist, Video Editor and MotionGraphic Designer

HELLO, I'M DÍDAC

I am an FX Artist with a degree in Animation and Visual Effects, experienced across the full audiovisual production pipeline. My work focuses on procedural FX, simulations, and the integration of visual effects into 3D environments. I have led projects such as the award-recognized short film Malas Hierbas, overseeing both creative direction and technical execution. I also have experience producing scientific outreach videos, translating complex ideas into clear visual narratives. I enjoy collaborating in creative teams and building visually coherent, technically solid work.

ABOUT ME

I’m Dídac Pardo Martínez, an FX artist specialising in Houdini simulations, motion graphics and video editing. I create cinematic VFX, stylised simulations and environment work for short films and freelance projects.

My workflow spans look development, procedural modelling, pyro/flip/smoke simulations and compositing. I love combining storytelling with technical problem solving.

Available for freelance & contract work. Based in Spain.
