Hi, I’m Miguel Macaya
I am an experienced and talented VFX artist with 15 years experience in Advertising, Film and TV.
I have an excellent eye for aesthetics and like to plan efficient workflows that help the team deliver cool and photorealistic looking images.
VFX for Film & TV
My excellent aesthetics skills on Look Development, combined with my technical knowledge, allow me to build efficient Nuke scripts that can final the most complex shots on time.
Being organized and a good communicator allows me to work very well under pressure while maintaining a good sense of humour!
AI ART
I always like to learn new tools and technologies, to keep up with the phase of the world that we live in.
Currently learning Houdini and improving python while testing tools like DALL-E and Midjourney.
PHOTOGRAPHY
I am a world traveller with a passion for photography.
TEACHING
Over the last 7 years I have also built up a strong profile as a certified Nuke Trainer. I have regularly trained students, as well as colleagues within the compositing department at ILM.
I teach compositing classes and give workshops in several universities and private schools across Europe:
The Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland.
Trazos Academy, Lightbox Academy and Fictizia Academy in Madrid, Spain.
