Miguel Torija
I love movies, I love VFX.
I'm a VFX Compositor... and more.
After finishing my degree, I started studying post-production, focusing on Nuke and, most importantly, learning how to be a good compositor.
Now, with more than six years of experience, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, from movies and TV series to animation shows. I couldn't be happier about it!
As an artist, I push myself every day to learn new things. I didn't stop with Nuke; I've also learned a bit of Houdini, Python, BlinkScript, math—everything I can!
VES Member!
I've become a Visual Effects Society member and am really happy to be part of it. I'm doing my best to contribute as much as I can!
I was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1993. I grew up with big blockbusters such as Star Wars, Men in Black, Jurassic Park, and The Lord of the Rings. I love how films can make people travel all around the universe and experience all kinds of feelings. Most importantly, they help us forget our worries for a bit. Now, I love helping to create those experiences!

A bit more about me!
Okay, okay, a bit more about me!
I love board games (Terraforming Mars, Zombicide, and Gloomhaven are my favorites!), trading card games like Magic: The Gathering and Star Wars: Unlimited, video games, and all kinds of music, depending on the day!
I also love to tell stories. During my degree, I joined several scripting and creative writing courses. I used to write short stories with a couple of friends, but sadly, I don't have much time for that now...
As I mentioned before, I love going to the theatre. Sure, it's cozy to watch TV series and movies at home—I try to catch something every week! But there's just something special about the cinema experience. I always hunt for the best theatre around and go to the movies whenever I can!
