Lucas Belaustegui
Multidisciplinary artist
I don’t like to be pigeonholed into a single profession. I’m an extremely creative person, with no fear of technical challenges.
My greatest passion is learning, which is why it’s difficult to determine exactly what I am, as I’m constantly becoming new things.
That’s why I use the catch-all term “artist”; because I have dedicated myself (and still do) to a wide variety of disciplines and arts, some for more than a decade (and counting…)
Video & Animation
I’ve edited short films, a feature film, teasers, children’s shows, sketches, dance festivals, online classes, podcasts (I’m currently one of the editors for the podcast “La hora fenomenal”), music videos, and hundreds of videos for different purposes.
In 2023, I fully animated the teaser for “El niño de la Estrella”, as well as all its 3D components, video editing and final compositing, and sound design.
From 2020-2022, I animated the 2D part of the series “Los cuentos de Villapío”, where I also collaborated as a video and audio editor, as well as composing its entire soundtrack.
There came a point when 2D started to feel limiting, so I also learned to model and animate in 3D with Blender. Here are some examples of pre-production projects where I was in charge of 3D animation and modeling, sound design, and music production:
Screenplay
I’ve worked as a scriptwriter for the children’s show “Aprendemos en Clan”, and later “Aprendemos en Clan: El Reto” on Clan TV since its conception in 2020, independently writing half of the scripts for all seasons.
The program was awarded the Values Prize at the XXVI Zapping Awards and a silver globe at the World Media Festival in Hamburg.
In addition to the program script, I also wrote and composed all its songs. (See the Music & Audio section)
Additionally, I’m a self-taught copywriter, and I’ve helped write persuasive marketing texts for various companies, including my own projects.
Music & Audio
I started composing and producing music in 2012. Since then, I’ve produced and composed hundreds of songs in dozens of different and varied styles. Many of these compositions were for other media, such as video games, television, live shows…
I’ve composed and produced for multiple video games:
For “Aprendemos en Clan” I composed and produced more than 50 original songs, covering dozens of diverse musical styles (although I also wrote the lyrics, my voice is just for reference):
I’ve also edited various podcasts and assisted with sound design for works such as the teaser for “El niño de la Estrella”, mentioned in the previous section.
Right now, I’m working on an electronic music album that I plan to release in 2025.
Imagen e Ilustración
My artistic journey began as a child with drawing. That’s why, before starting to use video editing, animation, and music production software, I learned to use image software like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, which I’ve been using for over 15 years.
I’ve used them for all kinds of projects: advertising, branding, video games, t-shirt designs, social media, photo editing, UI design, illustrations, concept art, and much more.
T-shirt designs commercialized by the brand “Pampling”:
Various illustrations, studies, and concept art:
Other skills
These are all the programs I master and use almost daily:
Another one of my strengths is web development; I started developing 14 years ago and have advanced knowledge of HTML and CSS. I’ve designed and developed dozens of websites for a variety of projects; marketing agencies, travel agencies, freelancers, driving schools, landing pages for products, blogs, and more.
I also have basic knowledge of programming in languages like Javascript and Gdscript (Godot Engine).
In 2024, I learned to deploy linux servers with docker compose, to create advanced automations with tools like n8n, as well as assistants and chatbots with artificial intelligence.
Hobbies & Interests
Although the line between my work and my leisure is blurred, I have other hobbies and interests that I haven’t mentioned yet. Among them:
- Fitness
- Cooking
- Literature
- Movies and TV series
- Video games
- Comedy
- Chess
- Various sports (climbing, skating, skiing, surfing, basketball…)
