Supervisor

As a Supervisor I feel very comfortable with creative leadership. I can build on deep technical understanding of work-flows and processes in VFX and CGI. Which is coupled with a good instinct for anticipating problems before they arise - and of course not all problems can be foreseen - I have become skilled in dealing with daily problems in an efficient and sustainable manner.

I have a well-founded knowledge base due to my production experience which includes several successful CGI and VFX productions, among them a variety of stereoscopic productions (S3D) where I served as CGI Supervisor and DOP.

Leadership: With a positive and focused spirit I have successfully composed and lead teams for smaller and bigger productions. From that experience came the lecture "Wishful Thinking - Communication in Digital Film Production".

Problem solving: Over the years I have developed a strong instinct for technical and creative solutions for the daily production problems.
Pipeline: I am skilled in setting up productions and studio infrastructures and to plan and optimise processes and work-flows.
Stereoscopic: I know the conversion process (2D->S3D) as well as S3D camera set-ups. I know S3D productions from layout up to compositing.
