Working and studying in the digital industry since 2002 resulted in a range of experience in production and making of commercials and feature films. I had the wonderful opportunity to start my career right after studying digital film with the preproduction and making of classic cartoons.
This led to a fine sense of preproduction planning, layout, animatics, animation, posing, timing, colors and schedule. With that base in mind I've created images and scenes with lots of passion, attention to detail and creative input over the years. I was often responsible for the general look and composition of certain projects. Creating style frames and key shots in close collaboration with the directors and supervisors. Creating visual and practical effects to meet the clients needs and production deadline. I consider myself being an organized team player with great attention to detail and creativity, sense for production pipelines and taking or giving directions.
