My name is Peter Pflaum, I am a Senior VFX Artist. Originally coming from Austria, based in Munich, Germany.

Having had over 15 years of experience in the feature movie, commercial and games industry I have become a competent VFX-Artist. Since I believe you can do best wherein you have the most passion, my ideal role would be working as a Lighting/LookDev Artist. However, I am always looking forward to adopt new software and learning skills. I have worked on several international feature movies like Bunraku, Battle for Terra 3D or Havoc and realised countless commercials, furthermore I worked on the AAA-Game Need for Speed. This has given me a distinguished understanding of working within different pipelines and allowed me to continuously improve my skills in lighting, shading, lookDev as well as matchmoving.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my work or if you are interested in any kind of collaboration.
