What If...? is one of those projects everyone wants to work on. Marvel for Disney Plus, with characters half the world knows. For me it was a dream, so when the opportunity came, I took it.
The tricky part was how I had to work. I did it over VPN, from Bogotá, connected to a computer that was sitting in Canada. The distance showed, and everything depended on the connection. I bought the best internet you could get in the city at the time, and even then there was always a lag. Animating characters of this caliber without seeing the playback properly was a test of patience and resilience.
I spent close to a year delivering what they needed. It was demanding, the kind of project that teaches you as much about the craft as about yourself. I dove into the world of Marvel, which I didn't know that well, and came out really grateful.
