Hey there! My name is Benjamin, a 3D and VFX artist from Germany studying Visual Effects at the Animationsinstitut of the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg.

Biography

Back in 2012 when I was 15 I created my first YouTube channel, uploading speedarts of GIMP and Photoshop artworks I created. It quickly turned into my biggest hobby and all my thoughts would circle around the next image to create. As I gained experience and learned about other fields of design, I stumbled upon After Effects tutorials and wanted to challenge myself with creating moving pictures. I started creating edits for games I liked to play and quickly fell in love with the endless possibilities to express my ideas. The more I talked to like-minded people on the internet, I learned about 3D which opened up even more space for creations since I suddenly didn't have to rely on premade assets but could build everything on my own. Since I like to experiment a lot, I tried out as much as I could and today I would describe myself as a 3D generalist, wanting to specialize in FX.
