Work experience

Graduation Movie: OH NO
HSLU, Lucerne, Switzerland – (Sep 2022 - Jun 2023)
In my last year of my bachelor’s in Animation, I was part of the graduation Movie “OH NO”. We were a team of 4 and I was responsible for most of the environment, all of the helpers we had during our production, lighting, compositing and editing. It was an amazing opportunity to go through the whole animation pipeline from A to Z.

Bumper for Cartoon Network
Cartoon Network, Lucerne, Switzerland – (Sep 2021 - Feb 2022)
During my second year of my bachelor's in Animation, I had the great opportunity to work with Cartoon Network. Within 6 months my team and I created a 20 seconds bumper. We went through the whole production pipeline from story finding up to compositing. We also mixed techniques such as 3D, 2D and pixilation.

Trailer for Fantoche Film Festival
Fantoche, Baden, Switzerland – (Apr 2021 - Aug 2021)
In a group of 4 people, we created a trailer that was used as an intro during the Fantoche Film Festival in 2021. We used Blender to add bones to the 2D drawings, creating a mix of 2D and 3D animation. This project was created next to our classes and gave us a chance to learn how to take care of clients.

Internship in Post-Production
Stories AG, Zurich, Switzerland – (Aug 2019 - Aug 2020)
Stories is a film production company, that does short high-quality advertisements. During my one year of internship in the post-production I had the time to learn how a movie pipeline works. I worked on After Effects animations for Case-Films, Tag-Ons and Bumpers. Edited Showreels, Castings and Case-Films. I also created storyboards, designed App interfaces and rotoscoped/masked in Nuke. I had the task of creating Picture Locks, designing Set-Props, updating their Social Media websites and had the experience of working as a runner on the film set.
