About Me
I'm Clemens, a Digital Film Design student from Austria with a specialization in VFX, a background in media design, and a long-standing passion for technology. My journey in digital media has been shaped by a love for visual storytelling and the drive to push technical boundaries. I’m excited to use this blend of artistic insight and technical expertise to bring new ideas to life in the world of VFX and media in general.
My path into the industry has been diverse. I went to a higher technical school in Austria, where I first developed a fascination for technology and digital creation. During this time, I explored tools like Adobe Photoshop and Cinema 4D, sparking my interest in 3D design through small personal projects. From there, I completed an apprenticeship in media design, where I worked as a media designer for eight years, honing my skills in the Adobe Creative Suite and gaining hands-on experience in digital content creation. This solid foundation gave me the courage to pursue my initial dream of studying 3D and VFX at a professional level in Berlin, Germany.
In my studies, I’ve delved deeply into software like Houdini, Blender and Maya, particularly in the technical aspects of VFX. I enjoy working with dynamic simulations and photogrammetry assets, and I plan to further explore tool development in Houdini. You can view examples of my recent projects on my website, where I showcase a range of what I do.
Beyond my technical knowledge, I bring a problem-solving approach to all my work. I enjoy tackling complex challenges and refining my skills in each project I take on. My current PC build reflects this ethos, balancing power and design for maximum productivity in software like Houdini, Blender, and Maya. From custom-building every PC I’ve owned to mastering industry-standard tools, I’m dedicated to pushing the limits of what I can achieve.
Looking ahead, I am eager to apply my skills in a professional setting where I can continue learning and contributing. As I finish my studies and enter the industry, I’m open to collaborating with studios or exploring freelancing opportunities, whether in high-quality, technically sophisticated VFX work or in media design, to bring versatile skills and perspectives to my projects. My goal is to eventually take on larger, self-led projects, drawing on years of experience in media design and a deep understanding of 3D and VFX technologies.
