After he and three classmates launched a video game, The Fallen, in 2019, Coimbra Castedo took his skills from computer programming and 3D art and shifted into the art of visual effects (VFX) industry.
Coimbra Castedo is also quoted in the article: “This movie was unique in the sense that it is all stylized, so we had a bit of creative say in how our shots and sequences looked like,” said Coimbra Castedo of del Toro’s penchant for using fantastical, gothic storytelling to evoke human emotion.”
