Lluís Casals Marsol: from visual effects to technical leadership
I started building pipelines on animation and visual effects (VFX) film productions, where a single mistake cost 200 people a day's work. 18+ years in pipeline and integrations later, that same engineering rigor — built over a long VFX career — is what I now bring to companies.

Career
18 years of pipeline, VFX and integrations
My background is as a software developer and pipeline TD / pipeline engineer in the VFX and CGI industry. For over 18 years I've built the tools, integrations and workflows that keep audiovisual productions running — and taken on technical team lead responsibilities — across Madrid, Wellington, Stockholm and Mallorca. It's a VFX career that gives authority to every project I work on today.
Recognition
Recognition: an Academy Technical Achievement Award
I've worked on Oscar-winning productions and was part of the team behind ftrack Studio, the production-management platform recognized in 2021 with a Technical Achievement Award from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Today
What I do today
Today I apply that experience across three lines of work: technical leadership as a fractional CTO, AI training for businesses in a 1:1 format, and pipeline consulting for audiovisual projects — where being a technical team lead remains a core part of what I do. I'm also the founder of CAMACODE (technology consultancy) and Jask Reporter (SaaS), and in 2017 I launched CGPills, virtual reality — mobile apps, films and VR games.
