Ernesto (Jose Ernesto Becerril Jimenez) is a Senior Visualiser at the Royal Ballet and Opera.

He began his career in Architecture with a focus on visualisation and lighting after completing his Bachelor of Architecture in Mexico and Australia. He then completed a Masters degree in Computer Animation in London where he focused on organic 3D modelling, texturing and lighting for Film and Games.

His role at the Royal Ballet and Opera consists of ensuring the computer 3D models of the sets look as realistic as possible in a 3D environment to work with Lighting Designers on new productions and during the relighting of revivals for both Royal Ballet and Royal Opera productions.

He has been able to merge workflows and aspects from Architecture, Design, Lighting and 3D Modelling into the world of live performance in a way that technology helps make design and pre-production efficient and reliable through visualisation.
