Kay Delventhal
I am working in feature film and commercials since 1992. After graduating as a Dipl.Ing. in Data-Technology, and a B.Eng.(Hons) in Control Engineering I shifted occupations moved into CGI and VFX for commercials and TV.
After the world premiere of Virtual Studios (Infinite Bluebox) in 1995 at “Video Art Production" in Hamburg. I joined "Accom Inc." in 1996 where I helped build the first Virtual Studio for the BBC.
In 1997 I joined the "fx-center Babelsberg" (aka "company b") to help build up the traditional Babelsberg Film Studios. Where my focus shifted towards CGI and VFX for feature film.
Turning freelance in 1999 I worked as a VFX Supervisor and Digital Artist. With the feature “Happily N’Ever After” in 2005 I focused on CG animated feature film. Which in 2006 led to the position of CG-Supervisor and Director at "Toons‘n’Tales". Starting in 2009 I worked on a variety of stereoscopic productions (S3D).
I was born Oct. 18, 1965 in Hamburg, Germany and speak German (native) as well as English (fluent).
