From donuts to your imaginations limitation

Already as a child I was interested in movies and their creation. Starting with shaky Lego stop-motion experiments to choppy animations in the 3D graphics software Blender. This interest continued to grow over the four years at the Lazi-Akademie, whereby I discovered visual effects as my passion from the 4th semester onwards and therefore focused on it in my further education. My final project gave me the opportunity to dive deeper into this area, gain valuable experience and make my first contact with the industry.
My dream, like that of many, is to see my name on the big screen. My focus is not on personal success, but rather the hope of one day being part of a team that can take viewers away from reality through immersive visual effects. During the production of my graduation film “Twins”, I was able to demonstrate my great ability to learn quickly, whether it was learning Nuke and Unreal Engine, which were new to me, developing and optimizing pipelines, or learning compositing from scratch. This experience enabled me to adapt quickly to different requirements and always find efficient solutions. An integral part of this experience was also developing a very solid stress resistance. This was particularly evident when the only available filming location initially planned was canceled shortly before the start of filming. In this stressful situation, we managed to quickly reschedule and move everything to green screen. Discipline, which I developed through regular weight training, was extremely important. It enabled me to tackle less creative tasks with the necessary diligence later on in post-production. Whether it's rotoscoping or debugging, I make sure to approach every task with care. Overall, I firmly believe that my skills and experience will play an enriching role not only during my graduation film, but also in future projects. The success of the project is underlined by the Lazi Award, which recognizes the best graduation film, which I received for “Twins” at the Lazi Akademie showcase. Another highlight of my experience so far was that the short film “Colors”, where I was responsible for the visual effects, won the "Baden-Württemberg Jugendfilm Award" in the category “Best Visual Effects” .
My love for film already began in my childhood, creating stop-motion films and always dreaming of looking behind the scenes. Every day I dive deeper into the film industry, my enthusiasm and dedication grows and I look forward to further deepening my passion in future projects. My flexibility, stress resistance and discipline are a solid foundation for successfully tackling creative challenges and achieving high-quality results.
The donuts in the headline are a Blender joke :)
