Victor Rivas

Visual Effects Supervisor

Victor Rivas Alvarez is a seasoned VFX Supervisor with over 15 years of experience in film production and post-production. As the founder of Varita Fílmica in 2012, he established a leading post-production company in Puerto Rico, delivering exceptional work across commercials, music videos, and film projects. Among Varita Fílmica's most notable achievements was creating the iconic Air-Con robot for Daikin, which became a cornerstone of the brand’s identity.

Victor's career expanded internationally when he contributed to blockbuster films like Captain America: Civil War, collaborating with the Russo Brothers on set photography and scanning for post-production. He also worked as a Digital Compositor on films such as Todo X Sara, Dos Caminos, and Replicas, cementing his reputation as a versatile post-production artist. These experiences led him to oversee a team of 20 professionals, delivering high-caliber work across advertising, music videos, and film.

In 2017, Hurricane Maria severely impacted Puerto Rico, forcing Victor to dissolve Varita Fílmica in 2018. Undeterred, he pivoted and began anew, working as a Visual Effects Supervisor for ABC's Primetime and later innovating in crowd simulation technology for the series Menudo: Súbete a Mi Moto.

By 2019, Victor was contributing to major productions with MPC Film as a Digital Compositor, working on titles like Noelle, Clifford: The Big Red Dog, and The One and Only Ivan, which won an HPA Award for Best Visual Effects in 2020.

In 2019, Victor founded Lacus Post, which has since become a trusted partner for global brands. Through collaborations with renowned studios like Alkemy X, The Mill, Powerhouse VFX, Ingenuity Studios, Harbor Picture Company, Mikros Animation, and Piñolywood Studios, to mention a few, Victor has elevated Lacus Post to international prominence. In 2023, he expanded his vision by launching Lacus Entertainment, a division dedicated to producing and distributing films. This new venture integrates cutting-edge technologies, setting the stage for a transformative cinematic experience.

From 2023 to 2024, Victor directed a team of professionals in the feature film Las Super Estrellas de la Lucha Libre, a box-office success in Puerto Rico. The film’s triumph not only solidified its cultural impact locally but also opened doors for its theatrical release in the United States, particularly in Florida.

Victor continues to push boundaries, creating groundbreaking opportunities in the entertainment industry.
