Animals United
Animals United is the first film for theaters I worked on. I created character animations for many different characters. That made it both diversified and challenging. It was a great experience working with this team of excellent animators, I learned a lot and made new friends as well. The movie will be in theaters in autumn 2010. In Germany at least. You can watch the trailer here. |
They will come to town
They will come to town is the thesis project of Thilo Ewers and Holger Wenzl for the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. My friend Ellen and I animated the whales for this social spot. You can see some still images and watch the spot here. |
Descendants
Descendants is the thesis project of Holger Schönberger and Heiko van der Scherm for the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. My friend Goro and I went there to help out with the animation. What was planned as three month animation practice turned into over one year of full-time production :) But we are very happy with the final piece. Descendants is a 14 minute animated short about the wish of attaining the unattainable and about the fact that something good can evolve from something evil. After two years on many festivals Descendants has amongst others won the Jury Special Prizes at Sicaf and Mundos Digitales 2008 and the Grand Prize at Tokyo Anime Award 2009.

Aroughcun
This was our thesis movie. We wanted to do something special and very nice to look at, but because of immense lack of time it did not turn out in any way like we planned. But that does not mean it is bad, I still love it for what it is. Team: Moritz Bunk, Marc Mueller, Felix Graf. What did I do: preproduction, shading, lighting & rendering, compositing. running time: 4:09 min file size: 63.47MB |
The orkbabies
At the end of the german filmschool five other students and me decided to produce a short together. We were from three different classes and we worked additionally to the required projects. Once again we all learned a lot and we won the International Golden Panda at the Sichuan TV Festival in 2005. Team: Marco Wilz, Goro Fujita, Stephan Stoelting, Jens Ole Bukowsky, Jan Maroske, Felix Graf. What did I do: preproduction, modeling, texturing, puppet rigging, animation. running time: 5:01 min file size: 71.5MB |
A footbag animation project
My so called solo project. When I did this short piece of animation I already knew I would specialise in animation so I did not come up with a cool idea for a story, I just animated. That of course was a lot of fun. It took me around 1.5 month to complete this little piece. running time: 0:52 min file size: 15.06MB |
Kong and Bird
The first big 3D project at the german filmschool at the end of the second semester. All in all production took about 3-4 month. We really learned a lot ^^ The short also made second place at the Bielefelder Film and Video Challenge 2004. Team: Goro Fujita, Moritz Bunk, Felix Graf. What did I do: story & direction, character design (Bird), texturing, compositing, lighting & rendering, animation, environment. running time: 3:55 min file size: 56.42MB |
 
The Beauty Of Life
The Beauty Of Life was the big project of the first semester at the german filmschool. It took about one year of production because everything was drawn by hand.
