In the world tree of Yggdrasil, greedy little Ratatoskr searches eagerly for ever bigger and better fruits, thereby causing impending doom for his beloved friend Eikpyrnir.
“The journey is a winding one with all sorts of expected and unexpected obstacles.”, state Catharine Winder and Zahra Dowlatabadi in their book Producing Animation. RATATOSKR was an ambitious full CG production which required a high level of professionalism in an academic environment. My Diploma thesis outlines my journey and the way I managed the many challenges in producing RATATOSKR. I describe and analyze, in consideration of literary sources, the course of all events from the moment that Meike first pitched me her idea to the final phase.
Norse mythology is a rich, wild and culturally relevant source of inspiration for art, games, film and everything in between. The tale of the squirrel Ratatoskr and the tree of life Yggdrasil stands out amongst the rest because it offers everything that makes a good film: from engaging characters, varied story worlds over inspired artwork, mystical patterns and colors down to historically relevant conflicts.
PRODUCING RATATOSKR – from first idea to final distribution – had a huge impact on on my life, my skills and my personal development.

During a humanitarian catastrophe Nikolai is desperately trying to
preserve ethic and moral values in the largest refugee camp behind the
great wall.
The VFX production, starting at the conception of the shots (storyboards, previs, techvis), included shooting preparations and research for assets, textures and references. Furthermore, a 360° set extension, the implementation of a container ship wreck (as a 3D environment including simulation) and a city wall (as projection mapping/matte painting), as well as the recording of several further assets in front of green screen, which were comped into the shots.
The transformation of the FMX 2017 Official Trailer ELEMENTAL into a stunning stage performance of two dancers with newly composed music and an impressive light show.
Imagine. Fire, Water, Earth and Air.
Four elements, driven by the energy and rhythm of nature, emerging into something new.
“ELEMENTAL” is about „creating something that is new and fascinating as a group of artists, together.” It depicts four expressive dancers who transform into earth, air, fire and water in order to show the amazing possibilities of working together while using different art forms. Elemental combines the art of a real life dance performance with motion capture technology and houdini fx in a visual effects project.
What did you enjoy most about working on this film?
Producing ELEMENTAL for me meant not only managing a project in a completely new environment, but also producing VFX for the first time. I had already produced smaller scale live action films, but I had little experience with VFX. Fortunately, my experience with traditional film gave me a good base to stand on and kept me motivated in the midst of all the challenges and of learning about VFX in a very short period of time. I particularly enjoyed uniting the different people – some of them already had a background in VFX, others in art or even in programming. Everyone had their own vision, wishes and expectations for the project and it was my job to lead them to one cohesive product. Read more

A dance film about the fight within. A fight against obstacles such as sickness, depression, trauma or creative blockades which can never be fully won. And yet, through one’s actions, a negative can be turned into a positive and for these moments of bliss, it’s worth the effort.
