Welcome to my corner of the web — thanks for stopping by.
I'm Ricardo Torres. For more than 30 years I've worked in visual effects as a compositing artist, 3D generalist, motion graphics artist, set supervisor, and educator — across feature films, TV commercials, music videos, and tech marketing. I've had the chance to collaborate directly with directors, agency creatives, and production studios, including designing futuristic interfaces for films like Minority Report and A.I., and working with directors like Steven Spielberg, Tony Scott, and Michael Bay.
What keeps me in it is the problem-solving — learning new tools fast, whether that's classic compositing and 3D animation, realtime game engines and virtual production, or tracking, roto and paint, and CG integration — and using them to make the impossible shot feel seamless.
These days I'm Animation Lead for Meta's Creative Services team, leading animation and motion work with a team of seasoned professionals from production, post, and tech.
And when I'm not at the desk, I'm behind the decks. I host Trust Your DJ, my weekly two-hour underground house show on d3ep.com — deep, garage, and soulful house, recorded and streamed live from my home studio in Venice.
Feel free to explore — my showreels, past work, credits, and a little music along the way.
