Arturo Pineda
Hello! My name is Arturo and I’m a Sound Designer and Foley Artist currently based in Costa Rica.
My passion for sound stems from my love of music. My grandmother gave me my very first guitar when I was 7 years old, and thanks to that, I developed a passion for music that has lasted a lifetime. I entered the world of sound design almost by accident, when I was studying to become a music producer and was invited to a seminar about sound for picture. I quickly became infatuated with the art form and discovered that I could pursue a career as a sound designer for film, TV and videogames, all of which had been life long hobbies of mine.
I spent the next few years working as a Boom OP in local productions, mainly soap operas. I enjoyed my time in production but I knew that post was what I wanted most. I needed a good school that could teach me the tricks of the trade, and that’s when I found out about Vancouver Film School. I applied and was happily accepted. I then set out on a journey to the northernmost part of the world I’ve ever set foot on, and embarked on an adventure that would later prove to be one of the most valuable experiences of my life.
After I was done with my program I returned to Costa Rica, eager to demonstrate my abilities and make a name for myself. I worked as a freelance sound designer and foley artist for the past 8 years and I’ve been able to gain a lot of experience by working on a number of different projects as well as side by side with fellow sound designers and mixers.
Working as a sound designer in movies, TV and videogames has been a dream come true. A job that would only exist in my dreams as a child born in a country with very little experience in these fields. I yearn to grow every day and to imprint myself in every project I’m involved with. I feel that my journey is barely getting started and I’m looking forward, excited for what’s to come, and ready to explore new horizons.
Developing and nurturing an idea should only be as easy as thinking about it.
I prepare myself for any job as best as I can by staying up to date with my software and hardware. My weapon of choice is my trusty DAW Nuendo as well as a number of sound design tools that allow me to bring my vision forward with ease.
