Getting into this hobby might not have been the best financial decision…

I don't know why it took me so long to play the Titanfall 2 campaign... The rhythm of the entire campaign is just exceptional.

Over the past few weeks I’ve been building a small web experiment called RainChat. It’s inspired by those moments when you meet someone by chance, talk for a while, and then never see them again. I wrote a bit about the idea behind it: croasan.com/2026/06/27/r...

Today is my last day at UNSEEN after almost five incredible years. Working from Barcelona and spending time in Tokyo gave me memories and adventures I’ll never forget. I’ll leave as a better animator, leader, and person. Now it’s time for a new adventure. ❤️

It's been far too long since I last took guitar seriously. Time to fix that. Say hello to this beauty.

I’ve been defining the animation style for the project over the past few years together with a very talented team. Glad we can finally show a bit of what we’ve been working on.

I have uploaded to Itch.io a Combat Prototype build for ShotgunKatana; It is 100% WIP, not polished at all and pretty buggy BUT you can try it and obliterate some skeletons if that's your jam. Go nuts on the poor skellys! csempere.itch.io/shotgunkatan... #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Just published a new blog post about my latest trip back to Tokyo. It was my fourth time in the city — this time with a much more relaxed vibe. Also wrote about my new Contax and the first roll I got developed 🎞 croasan.com/2025/07/18/b...

Just realized I never posted here this Haikyū!! animation I did a while back. Tried to make the volleyball the main character here, with the players acting more like supporting roles.

Bought the TrimUI Brick. It’s super cheap, emulates consoles up to Dreamcast, fits in my pocket, and feels solid. Guess I’ve run out of excuses to not finally play Mother 3 like it’s 2006.

People sometimes ask me how I animate cameras — I wish I could say there’s a master plan, but I improvise as I go. Tweaking the FOV helps shape what the viewer sees — more of the world, or a close-up. From outside the camera, the scene’s usually a mess (*ノ▽ノ)

Picked up a Contax TVS in Tokyo. I know it won’t last forever — 90s electronics aren’t exactly built for the long run — but I couldn’t resist this titanium beauty, especially at the price I found it for. I guess hunting through every second-hand camera shop does pay off (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

This anim I made is another one of those "useless" ones. During that chase in Ori there was nothing in the background, so lightning-fast I made a cheap pass (the one above), we put it in the game and we saw that although it did't add anything at a gameplay level, it does add atmosphere.

Still from the video game teaser: KEMURI. The back of a character lit by the sun, surrounded by smoke. Still from the video game teaser: KEMURI. A wide environment shot.

Another one of those animations that I made looking for dynamism, but also weight in the actions.

"Rhythm" is probably the word I use most in my work and I don't think I've ever written it correctly on the first try.

Sometimes I spend a few hours animating a combo without any intention beyond honing my skills, since sometimes being a director means not animating for a while. VFX by @srrafles.bsky.social
