My name is Felix Graf.

I was born in Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany, in 1981.
When I was four my family moved to Bad Homburg, near
Frankfurt am Main, where I grew up and spent most of my
life.

During highschool I developed my interest in movies, art,
computers and video games not knowing this would lead
to something serious, it was just fun. My best friend and
I spent lots of time playing with his high 8 video camera,
thinking about funny stories and how to realise them
without experience and money. We did our first visual
effects by painting lightsabres in a fight sequence we shot
and first stop motion animation in a movie with Lego figures.

After my civil service and an internship at a webdesign company I started to study at the german
filmschool in 2002. Here I was able to bring all my interests in art, movies, computers and animation
together. During my time there I learned a lot about every part of making a movie from the first
planning to the final product, but animation became my big passion. I made my diploma in 2005
specialised in character animation.

Since 2005 I work as a freelance animator in Germany.
