2025, the year of the Shadow (Sombra)
I am passionate about Motion Design, AI, Filmmaking, Graphic Design and Contemporary Art…
Nice to meet you! My name is Victor, but my friends call me Sombra.
As a multifaceted graphic designer specializing in motion design and filmmaking, I bridge the gap between visual storytelling and technical expertise. With a passion for contemporary and fine art, I bring creativity and innovation to every project.
Based in Richmond, Virginia, I frequently collaborate with clients in New York City and Los Angeles. My expertise spans graphic design, motion design, 2D and 3D animation, video editing, generative AI illustration, collage, and fine art.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with prominent clients such as NBC Sports & Olympics, NBC Universal, JWT-NYC, 3Round Burst, GRETEL.tv, Suspect VFX, Mediamonks, Google, and Meta. My proficiency in industry-leading tools like Adobe Creative Cloud, Cinema 4D, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, Runway, Wonder Dynamics, Deep Motion, and Deforum enables me to deliver exceptional results.
Currently, I’m honored to be part of Meta’s GenAI Creative Studio, where we pioneer AI-driven experiences, products, and content for diverse audiences.
As a visual storyteller, I am constantly creating independent projects, often motivated by personal narratives. My films – El Puma de Quelepa (2016), El Cadáver Exquisito (2011), and Ever Amado (2007) – have been screened at multiple international film festivals, including The 57th Berlinale Film Festival, The Guadalajara International Film Festival, El Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano, Mubi.com. These opportunities have taken me to presentations in several countries around the globe.
I am available for freelance work! Drop me a line; let’s make Motion happen. victor@santasombra.com
