Hi there,


My name is

Cristian Spagnuolo,


I'm a VFX/CG Supervisor.


Welcome to my website.

This is my "nickname" since I started my carreer in the VFX industry quite a long time ago and it's also the name of my own company when I freelance all around the world.
Why this nickname?! It's a long story... I will explain you if and when we will eventually meet in person :-)

Training & Mentoring

Since many years I started to create tutorial and to partecipate to mentorship programs to help younger generation to learn and grow in the industry. So, beginning of 2024, I finally created my mentoring brand PXLmentor.

VFX/CG Supervision

I supervised small, medium and big production; diretly on set, on remote or "just" leading my team, but always with one main goal in mind... QUALITY.

Beta Testing

Always searching for the best tools available on the market I managed to become beta tester for some of the biggest software companies out there. To name a few: Foundry (Katana), Allegorithmic/Adobe (Substance), and R3DS (Wrap3D).
