About

Mori or 森 (In Japanese "Forest") is Manuel Camino's site focusing on his work in CGI direction and Look Dev with an Ideation Plus. Yes, that's me!

With a combine experience in digital, advertising and production I consider myself more than just a CGI artist, since I can think conceptually, but then I am able to direct a team and execute myself as I did for years. 

As a child, I was the one busy inventing stories and painting instead of playing football. Thankfully, that passion paved the way for a fulfilling career, allowing me to live in nine different countries and work with some of the most renowned brands in the industry.

I began my journey as a digital artist, first at AKQA, and I was fortunate to contribute to incredible projects, including the design of the Xbox 360 user interface.

My path then led me into advertising, where I established a long career as a Creative/Art Director. I've concepted and directed campaigns, commercials and animation pieces, always staying close to my passion for visual development and direction.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with prestigious ad agencies such as W+K, Publicis, Saatchi & Saatchi, RGA, and Dentsu. My work for clients like Nike, Microsoft, Nestle, Samsung, Sony, T-Mobile, Fox Sports, Suzuki, Heineken, EA, Johnnie Walker, KIA, and many others has shaped me into a versatile creative capable of navigating from ideation and strategy to the finer visual details.

This portfolio site showcases my recent work as a Director and Visual Artist in collaboration with studios where I could direct, places like WeAreSeventeen, Carbon, Peter & Paul, Method & Madness, Cekai, Tactyc, and Tektura. I've had the privilege of creating for brands including The Coca-Cola Company, Estée Lauder, Colgate, Samsonite, Scalpers, Powerade, and H&S.

I genuinely hope we can work together to create something amazing. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to know more!
