Sebastian Leal

Filmmaker · Photographer · Visual Storyteller

I'm Sebastian Leal, a multimedia creator based in DFW, Texas, specializing in filmmaking, photography and graphic design. I hold a Bachelor's in Cinematic Arts from the University of Texas at Arlington, and I've spent the last 4 years building a portfolio that moves fluidly between motion, stills and design, often on the same project.

My work is grounded in storytelling. Whether I'm lighting a product shoot, cutting a brand film or designing the graphics that tie a campaign together, I'm focused on the same thing: making something that holds attention and says what it needs to say. I bring a full command of the process, from concept and camera to edit, motion and color, so the vision stays intact from the first frame to final delivery.

If you have a project in mind, I'd love to hear about it and talk through how I can help bring it to life.

    Azteca Music Group Records (Contract)

    1. Motion Graphics DesignerJan 2023 – Sep 2023

      • Designed album covers, single artwork, and promotional assets for signed Mexican Regional artists, translating each act’s identity and the tone of a release into cover art that held up across streaming thumbnails, print, and social placements

      • Built out full release campaigns from a single cover concept — pre-save graphics, story and feed posts, lyric video stills, and banner art — keeping type, color, and treatment consistent across every touchpoint.

      • Delivered platform-ready exports to spec for Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube, handling correct dimensions, safe margins, and color profiles so artwork cleared distribution without revision delays.

      • Worked fully remote with artists, managers, and label staff running creative direction over WhatsApp and video calls to lock concepts before production.

      • Managed asynchronous review cycles by presenting two to three distinct concept directions per release with annotated rationale, which cut back-and-forth and kept approvals moving without live meetings.

      • Maintained an organized shared-drive delivery system with clear file naming and versioning, giving the label and artists immediate access to final and alternate assets.

      • Consistently hit release-date deadlines across multiple projects, coordinating around artists’ recording and touring schedules.
