2008 – 2009 Demo Reels of Vin

Ahoy there, mateys! It’s Sunday today where I live so I’m taking a break from my work. This website is my online portfolio site so I’m going to upload my portfolio, ostensibly. Here are my 2D & 3D animation portfolio way back in 2008 and 2009.

This is my own music video that I created back in 2008 for the song, “What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong.

The video above is my 2D & 3D Portfolio back in 2009. The audio on the video above got “un-synced,” if there even is a word like that when I uploaded it on YouTube.

I am very emotional about the two videos I just uploaded as this is the time (2008 -2009) I started to produce videos like above and I really took it seriously as I hope to make a career out of this in the future which is what happened because of Luis, Liz, Carlo & Mike–The Filipino Mafia (I am included in the group and is also so much grateful to the four of them). I also update my demo reel every year or so. So now our (Luis, Liz, Mike, Carlo & Vin) most recent demo reels are the movies “Divine Intervention” and then the “Shawshank Redemption” and the other additional films we (The Filipino Mafia) are creating.

Cheers, Vin

Hello, I am Arvin Valenzuela–Vin for short. Welcome to my online portfolio website. I am a Comedian. Musician. Filmmaker. Comic Book Creator. Miserable Person Because of Internet Trolls.

I am a 4th year Civil Engineering drop out from Mapua Institute of Technology at Intramuros, Manila. I took a short course on 3D Studio Max at MicroCadd in Cubao, Quezon City–the certificate is officially credited by Autodesk. I was granted a scholarship award for two 6-month short course on 2D & 3D Animation at Korea – Philippines IT Training Center in Novaliches, Quezon City.

However, I only studied 2D Animation at the school stated. Afterwards, I studied at De La Salle College of Saint Benilde and I am a graduate of two associate degrees (four semesters for each associate degree as it’s considered a short course) on Animation, 2D & 3D from the college mentioned.

After I graduated I had two regular day jobs as a graphic artist, copywriter and as a 3D artist–at Brand Benefits Advertising Inc., somewhere at Mother Ignacia, Quezon City and at Ludipass Studio Manila at Boni, Mandaluyong. I worked at those jobs for a year. Now, I am a full-time freelance illustrator, comic book creator, 3D/graphic artist and I also belong to a group of writers and artists–The Filipino Mafia and we have created a couple of Netflix movies, including “Divine Intervention,” the original movie, the prequel and its sequel, entirely made in 3D and a few more Netflix films currently in production and currently completed.

I am also a co-founder, alongside Luis Buenaventura, Liz Buenaventura, Mike & Carlo of the soon-to-be entertainment company, GNES. Liz Buenaventura is my fiancé and Luis is my soon-to-be brother-in-law, Carlo & Mike are my blood brothers. Enough said. Thank you for your time. I hope I can be of service to you. Cheers, Vin

I have been creating webcomics and my own comic books since November of 2014-2019.

I’ve been a part of two comic book anthologies which the group, “Chain Mason” made. Chain Mason is the name of a group of comic creators I belong to several years ago but I quit the group a year or so after I joined them–some of my co-comic book creators in this group are: Kahlil Baet, Alab Memei, Patrick Enrique, Mik Fajardo, Sherwin Sablaon, Carlo Valenzuela, John Aeron Tepace, David Sysing, Emman Centeno & Richard Arguilla.

I also have two “international” comic book work under my belt. The first one is with SwampCone Magazine and the second one is the graphic novel, “Meat My Uncle,” by Tom Foster, Erez Y Balen & The Filipino Mafia–Luis, Liz, Carlo, Mike & myself. You can read a bit of info about it here and over here. (2022)
