Engineer + Artist + Consultor
Born in Mexico in ’89, an Engineer with a passion for Arts, finds himself with an opportunity to narrow the gap doing Visual Effects.
Over 16 years of experience
Driven by an enduring commitment to learning and technical excellence.
Winner of an Ariel for Best VFXs, along with multiple Nominations and professional Certifications across diverse disciplines.
I have worked at some of the leading 3D and animation studios in Mexico and Canada, contributing as a Generalist, Technical Director, Supervisor, and more. My experience spans the entire production pipeline, from concept development to final delivery.
As a freelancer, I have collaborated with a wide range of clients across multiple industries. This breadth of experience allows me to deliver high-level solutions that are both technically rigorous and clearly communicated.
Consulting & Education
Strategic guidance and hands-on expertise when challenges arise.
I have delivered conferences and educational sessions throughout Mexico, ranging from academic institutions, conducted master classes and in-studio training programs and have given talks and presentations at major events, including SIGGRAPH, Pixar and Autodesk.
No production pipeline is flawless. Few artists have full visibility across every stage of the workflow, and producers are rarely positioned to address an entire project from a technical perspective. I bridge these gaps by providing clear, practical solutions that improve pipelines, strengthen teams, and de-risk production at every level.
Testimonials

“At some point we required a TD (with every skill, from tool coding, problem solving, dynamics and physics, and an ample understanding of the whole pipeline process in an animation studio), many told us that we searched for not one but many people or a CG Superman; in that search came Othon and fully complied every single checkbox in the most effortless way possible, the rest is history.”

Emilio Portes – Film Director and Writer
“Besides being a Professional, in all mayor areas of VFX’s for films. Working with Othon, is a pleasure because of his sense of humor and humble character.
His great technical knowledge, sense of organization and his constant pursuit for aesthetics is only compared with his honesty, straightforwardness and honor which are refrained when he gets involved into ambitious projects that want to go beyond the limits.
And last but not least, if you ever have the opportunity to work with Mr. Reynoso, not only will you take the best of a true artist of his time, but you will win a remarkable friend, which is even more valuable in this hard quest of making films.”
