Nacho Cruje (Spain)
Winner I Best drone show 3D Animation

Nacho Cruje is a 3D Generalist and passionate of Blender. Nacho works as a Freelance and that has allowed him to explore many areas and industries, but he has fallen in love with Drone Shows from the first moment!

"I started with drones a couple of years ago, but the global health situation caused everything to slow down. Even so, I have been fortunate to continue creating great shows for great brands, and with the help of great companies such as NorthStar (Canada), Umiles (Spain) or Anymotion (Netherlands) among others. I think that the Competition is a unique showcase for 3D animators and creators of Drone Shows from all over the world, which also allows us to see the very high level that this world of Drone Shows is reaching. I believe that 2022 is going to be a year with incredible advances. For my part I have great progress to show, and great projects ahead, and I really want more and more projects!”
