My Story
My name is Javier Baena Ávila and I am a Junior Digital Compositor, currently living in Barcelona.
I have a degree in Audiovisual Communication at the University of Barcelona an I have cursed The VFX School at Escola Superior de Cinema i Audiovisuals de Catalunya.
I have pasion for cinema and visuals effects, but I am also keen on animation and motion graphics.
In my free time, I love to practice sport. Nowadays, I compete in 400 metres hurdles for Cornellà Atlètic at Spanish Honor Division and I am part of the Board of Directors.
