EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Following my dream for creating (moving) pictures, I started my carrier with an apprenticeship as photographer. After my graduation I worked in the field of digital print finishing and digital data preparation, using among other the first versions of Photoshop and QuarkXPress.
I started my own business in the field of expo construction and large-scale digital printing after a few years, still working as photographer. At that time my Professional Photography, especially my work in the area of black & white photography, had reached international awareness.
In order to expand this I took on a position as Digital Photography Expert for training and development in the world-famous Leica Camera Academy, where I worked for for over 4 years, becoming one of their best referees and product-tester internationally.
After Leica's economics struggled, I turned to my real passion of moving pictures and founded the Company 3D Maximal together with Hannah Dewies in Germany.
In 2007 and 2008 we developed, designed and animated the RED BULL AIR- RACE with all designs, graphics and animations for the worldwide OnAir Show, winning international awards for our work.
Shortly after, the first requests from Hollywood reached us, which resulted in the opening of a branch of our Company in Vancouver/Cabada.
In the following years we worked on several international blockbuster movies, mostly as sub-contractors, where I supervised, lead and extensively held the position of the VFX- upervision, Head of Production and CG Supervisor for our Company.
Today I hold the position of the Art Director, Technical 3D- and Compositing- Lead. With 17+ years experience in the field of 3D Animation and Compositing I am one of the very rare veterans in this industry.
