After graduating from the only Architecture accredited school in New Jersey in 1996, Luis joined an award-winning design firm in New York City, while moonlighting as a 3D visual artist, which ignited his love for storytelling. As these skills developed in tandem, he pursued training in all facets of visual narrative production, developing expert skills in camerawork, lighting editing, et al., as well inventing applied technologies wholly his own. Luis established a well-respected reputation of always being able to get things done even when budgets were restrictive: high concept, high production value, and on budget. Indeed, on set, he became known as "Super Lu" because he could always finagle the results the director wanted and needed under tight deadlines notwithstanding seemingly impossible circumstances. In addition, Luis refined the various film and technologically-based products he had been inventing for years, which became highly sought by filmmakers for the particular and previously-unavailable technical contributions Luis' inventions added.
