Since 2009 I'm the project manager for a recurring event called "Games Lounge" from the non-profit organization Videospielkutur e.V. (ger. video-game-culture) in Munich. The purpose of that organization is to promote video-games as cultural valuable. The Games Lounge is a regular event twice a month where people meet and play video games together. An archive of more than 6000 games is accessible for visitors of the lounge. Latest events can be found here: https://www.meetup.com/Games-Lounge/

I offer services in freelance form in the following fields: 3D modelling/animation for offline and real-time, Video/Film Post-Production (Editing and compositing). I also gained a lot of experience in Video/Film production, motion capture and voice recording. I'm specializing in narrative design. Basically I learned everything to make a cinematic video game with realistic characters. Everything from the first designs to the final release.

We are developing and producing a virtual influencer/digital human with the Unreal Engine. I'm solely responsible to for the technical aspect of that.

3D models for VR work-simulation.

I worked on some real cool stuff. But unfortunately the NDA won't allow me to disclose any details, yet. It was fun and fell within my abilities.

3D models for a VR work-simulation.

I processed CAD models and made them ready for a virtual reality application. Customers at the Saturn retailer could experience to setup up their new kitchen.

I recorded an animation with facial motion capture and did the entire post work to its final form for the release of a pitch.

The main character in this short-film got his legs replaced with CG. For that a mixture of separate motion capture and on-set motion capture was recorded and processed by me. I reconstructed the first scene exclusively from the footage itself. For the second scene I made a full 3D scan and measurements as well as on-set mo-cap. I made a HDR panorama image on both sets for the lighting. Instead of roto-motion, I used rotoscoping to separate the actor from the background.

I worked on many projects with a friend. In most cases I did the entire post-production for image films, Interviews and other media projects including but not limited to: Editing, CCR, 2D/3D Animation, Compositing, Motion Graphics and a bit of Audio. I also assisted in the production wielding the camera and everything else that needed to be done.

I made a music video where I did almost everything including: Greenscreen-Recordings, 3D Animation/Modelling, Compositing, CCR, Color Grading. Ah, good times. The nostalgia. I still like the reflection on the floor in the beginning of the video! I continued from there with similar works from filming to post production.

Advanced education in Blender for 3D modeling, Animation, Shading, Lighting, Texturing and everything else that Blender has to offer.

The dual education in Germany is a combination of vocational school and apprenticeship. It was a basic trait specialized for retail business.

It's an advanced German school degree but specialized in electrical engineering
