Javier Mansilla(I)
- Visual Effects
VFX Supervisor - CG Supervisor - Character Supervisor at El Ranchito VFX Barcelona Studio
Javier in numbers: +234 Digital Characters created and supervised +3787 Shots crafted and supervised, covering various styles including animation, stop-motion, VFX & games cinematics. +142 Artist managed and mentored, from juniors to senior-level professionals and management teams. +200 Team-building events and parties organized (Board games enthusiast organizer, D&D master, Friday drinks organizer) +12 Conferences where I shared insights and promoted projects and talent. +614 Books read (a passion for fantasy and science fiction, always seeking to work with the best storytellers having worked on Game of Thrones, Shadow and Bone, Locke & Key, Three Body Problem and many others) +40000 personal reference photos (travel a lot and always use real references!)
I have acquired expertise at several levels: Head of CG and Creature Supervisor: VFX for TV Series and Films - Animation for feature film - Full CGI Cinematics - Pipeline & Workflow - VR/XR Experiences Visual consultant : pre-production - design - creative solutions VFX supervisor : abroad - in-house - on set-location
All my life I have had a fascination for Film, TV series and Games. I have been involved in many commercials and film projects and had the opportunity to excel and advance my technical side working with very talented people.
In holding just about every existing position during my 20 years as a CG artist, I have mastered most techniques in this field, eventually allowing me to supervise the entire process. I now focus on and feed in the artistic aspect of the production, helping directors create no matter the constraints, veiling the technical aspects to a backstage discussion.
