About

On the record

Let's just start that I really really love animation. Everything else I am doing is helping to tell more stories and bring more characters to life. This led to discovering that the best way to do it is to support animation teams - be it by building a comfortable remote animation pipeline from scratch ( including the Python code and setting up the network and infrastructure needed ), building a remote bunch of animators who never worked together in a team, giving feedback and reviews as good as I can and learning and teaching as much as possible. And yes - I actually enjoy the production and management part - script breakdowns, scene setups, spreadsheets, estimations, onboarding ( and a whole bunch of automation for these things ) Even though my focus is and has always been animating, I have at least touched all stages of the pipeline from storyboard through asset creation to final render and compositing and gained a unique understanding of how all of its parts fit together like a magnificently complicated jigsaw puzzle.( And I love the open-source effort of cg-wire / kitsu in this space. Find me as a contributor on their discord if you have questions.) I really enjoy talking about animation, storytelling and cinematics - and I'm always open to help and find opportunities to support each other. Just reach out and say 'Hi'( Yes - also you who would love some help with your animation but thinks that it is not good enough yet -( aka myself around 10 years Maybe that's too much animation and you'd rather hear about my favourite hiking trails in the Alps? Or how bouldering is the greatest thing ever? Same here - just say 'Hi';)
