MY WORK
Babamimoun is my most important piece of work so far. Created by the incredibly talented Eidy Knowles, this visually astonishing video tells us the story of the rise and fall of a civilization. The writing of the script, musical composition and sound designing were all made with the intention of making the already captivating visuals as dynamic and emotion-driven experience for the viewer as possible. This is a piece of work that touches on a lot of different subjects I am deeply interested in, and so I wanted to create an experience that was as immersive as possible for the viewer to be able share -in some way- some of the emotions I felt as I worked on it. Eidy was a huge source of inspiration and a constant supporter. If you want to see more of the incredible stuff she's been doing, visit her website here. http://eidyknowles.com/
A collection of my best work as a Sound Designer, this projects showcase my ability to understand sound as a form of communication that compliments and strengthens the visual message. These are projects that I have made with the intention of creating an immersive experience that drives emotion to fit the story, so that the viewer can feel as connected to what their eyes (and ears!) are experiencing.

Una A La Vez
Una A La Vez is a project I worked on with my very really talented brother Diego Spotsa, which he wrote, directed and starred. This project tries to showcase a mans inability to cope with the death of his significant other, slowly giving in to his delusion and ultimately facing a tragic ending. My objective working on this project was to make the listener feel as anxious and uneasy as the main character is during the plot, for it is this uneasiness that makes him unable to control his thoughts and keeps him from moving on with his life.
Infernum
Infernum is the final project by the extremely talented and really good friend Andres Yanez. Andres made this project for his final delivery at Vancouver Film School's 3D Animation Program, and asked me to do a re-design of the original video, just for fun. We were both pleased with the result given the amount of time I had to work on the project. It is one of those projects you always feel like you could have done more with, or could do more with if you tried, but you just never do. Since the project you delivered at the time meant something a little more to who you were then than it would to who you are now.
GATVP
This project is one of the projects that you get to work on while at Vancouver Film School's Sound Design Program. What is very interesting about it is that you have 24 hours to work on it, and the Sound Assets are provided to you, and it is up to you to use those wisely and creatively to create something unique. I massively enjoyed working in this project since it gave me a sense of professional environment I had not experienced yet. The part I enjoyed the most was the freedom to manipulate the assets, since it made come in touch with my creative side, while exploring my technical skills with the DAW and processing effects.
As a personal hobby, I like composing music of all different styles and genres. Here is a little demo of what I like to do in my spare time.
WHO I AM
My name is Santiago Guerrero. I am a Sound Designer, Composer and Musician from Mexico City. Ever since I was little, my whole world has been shaped and driven by the sounds around me. I like to think about sound both as a representation of the real world and as a way to escape from it. And, if you're brave enough to change it, you can create new worlds where there are no rules or limits.
​
​
As a Sound Designer, I believe that creating and driving emotion through sound is a very powerful way to communicate ideas. Be it through the use of music, the selection of realistic sound effects, the creation of detail oriented sound design, or simply the use of tone in speech; the feedback I get from the emotional response of the listener is, to me, the most important part about my work.
WHAT I DO
HOW I DO IT
With proficiency in a variety of DAW's, different software and hardware tools, and the skills and knowledge I have at my disposal, I work with different areas of audio such as Music Composition, Field and Foley Recording, Sound Design through layering and processing chains, and Synthesis to create a immersive soundscape for the image we see on screen.
​
Some of the skills I have when it comes to audio include Studio and Field Recording, Foley Performance, Voice Acting, Music Composition, Audio Programming, Sound Design, Audio editing (Foley, Sfx, Dialogue, Music), and Re-Recording Mixing (Stereo, 5.1).
