Welcome to My Portfolio!

I always loved the beauty of film and animation.

So I started my career as a motion designer. Lately, however, I’ve been expanding my focus to include the entire post-production process.

Now I work mainly as a video editor and occasionally VFX and animation artist in B2C marketing.

2D Animation & Motion Design

Traditional Animation

Together with Olivia Gombault I created an animated film for a newly founded animal welfare organization.

As the film has not yet been released, this breakdown is limited to two animal sequences that I animated and composited during production.

Ads

I’ve worked with several German retail chains like REWE, Edeka or hagebaumarkt.

These two animated ads had been created before Instagram reels became entirely vertical with a 9:16 format.

Logos

In order to present their branding more effectively in ads and reels, I animated the logos a few of my clients.

Icons

Originally designed for package design by HejPure, I received the vector files from this client to bring them to life.

3D Animation & VFX

VFX

In 2017 I directed a short film where I also worked as Visual Effects Supervisor. So I used a part of the budget to buy a textured model of an Atlantic Blue Crab.

Rigging, animation and compositing of the shots shown was done by me.

Animation Comission 1

In summer 2019 the company PlantaCorp GmbH contacted me and asked if I could help with an animated image film in which an anthropomorphic bull (modelled and rigged by me) should play the leading role.

Animation Comission 2

I got the chance to create a short teaser animation for Jan Philipp Burgard’s book “Ausgeträumt, Amerika?”, published by the Rowohlt Verlag GmbH in 2018.

3D + Motion Design

For Brewdog Germany I took some of their original label designs that were supposed to be shown to the community, created a simple transition in AfterEffects and used the animation as moving textures for these 3D cans.

Social Media

Media by Nature

MBN has been my employer for a long time and I have to thank that agency for many opportunities to work with interesting clients.

Energieberater

This ad was commissioned to recruit trainees via social media for efficient energy consulting.

Lufthansa

I cut countless reels for theLufthansa Group. Often only very simple motion design was needed here, as well as English subtitles.

KCS Medical

This was another customer I had the pleasure of meeting during my time at MBN. I liked the fact that it was more about the people than some products.

Political Campaigns

The PdH (Partei der Humanisten) is a small, socially liberal German party with a strong focus on th EU.

Its policies are based on secularism and a critical, rational approach to reality. For the 2024 European election campaign, I worked with Jannes Ernsting to update the party’s corporate design to suit the target group.

In addition, we also produced the corresponding election commercial – and another one in January 2025 for the federal elections in Germany, which were rescheduled at short notice.

The client is responsible for the content of the videos.

Impression Videos

Together with my friend Jannes Ernsting I also shoot videos for fun and to get better at filmmaking.

These two were made in 2024 and edited & color graded by me.

The short film “Durststrecke” (Lean Period) was created as a submission for the 99 Fire Film Awards, where young creatives get 99 hours to produce a 99 second short film. Thereby we received the topic at the beginning of said 99 hours:

The correct german translation for the animal crab is “Krebs”.
However, this word also stands for Cancer. Hence “Knack den Krebs” (Crack the Crab) is a metaphoric wordplay encouraging people to defeat cancer.

These commercials have been created for Fördergemeinschaft Kinderkrebs-Zentrum Hamburg e.V.
