Hi I'm Youenn

Motion Designer | On set VFX operator | Audiovisual Technician

Also geek, musician and martial artist

Get to know me better

Hello, I'm Youenn Denis

I'm 28 years old,born and raised in Brittany, France. I'm a highly motivated creative Motion Designer, and have worked in On Set VFX all around the world.

I've worked for two and half years with SolidTrack technology. This has given me the opportunity to travel around the world and work on prestigious feature films. Since the end of my studies as an Audiovisual Technician, I've worked as Motion Designer, mostly for TV branding, using a wide range of 2D and 3D software.
I also know the basics of programming and electronics as I have worked as a beta tester, and soft/hardware specialist for SolidTrack.

I'd like to gather all my knowledge and use my experience to be in charge of the VFX process on movies. From the preparation to the delivery.

I recentely had a training to become an on-set DIT.
