Michael Jakob

I’m Michael Jakob, a Motion Designer and FUI (Future User Interface)/GUI (Graphical User Interface)/HUD (Head Up Display) Geek. In short: I love UIs (User Interfaces). I’ve been working as a Motion Designer in the advertising industry for 9 years and counting. My passion is to design and animate FUIs/GUIs/HUDs for Film and TV, combined with the creation of Title Designs. I’m also on the mission to master X-Particles in Cinema 4D, to further enrich the look of the UIs I’m creating.

I worked as an Motion Designer (full-time employee) in the international visual effects studio PIXOMONDO located in Berlin. In the live media & commercials department I created visualizations for international exhibitions, corporate films as well as TV commercials.

In Autumn 2010 I completed a three-month internship in the advertising agency qu-int. located in Freiburg, Germany. I was working in the Motion Design department producing an 80 seconds image clip for the German design furniture company atelier schneeweiss among other work.

In Spring 2010 I completed a two-month internship in the London based Motion Design studio Mainframe. During this extremely interesting time I gathered lots of experience in the daily business of an studio and increased my skills in Motion Design.

I've successfully finished my apprenticeship as IT System Technician at the multinational telecommunications company AVAYA where I was working in the technical customer support.
