She will work on both commercial and episodic projects
Freefolk has hired CG lead Maria Carriedo to work across commercial and episodic projects.
Carriedo began her VFX career at Digital Domain in LA before moving to London in 2017 where she has been CG Lead at The Mill ever since. She has worked on commercials for brands such as Smart Energy (AMV), Direct Line (Saatchi & Saatchi) and the multi award winning Heathrow Bears campaign (Havas).
At Freefolk she will work alongside head of CG Harin Hirani, who said: “Maria has worked on some outstanding projects over her career and possesses an abundance of artistic talent. Her background as a 3D generalist and a lead will be invaluable to us as we continue to grow our commercials and longform department, we look forward to working with her.”
Carriedo added: “I know Freefolk is the perfect fit for me, I connected with the team immediately. I really felt their passion for both the creative and technical sides of VFX, I love that balance and I know it’s going to be great working together.”
Freefolk MD/EP Fi Kilroe commented: “Maria has an amazing catalogue of projects she worked on and led. And her enthusiasm to nurture talent, be part of a team as well as create award winning work fits in perfectly with Freefolks ethos.”
