Tobias was born 1985 in Marburg an der Lahn, Germany. After watching through the whole library of his local video store as a young teenager, he quickly realized that the moving picture business is the only business he wants to be part of on a professional level.
He studied Media Technology (B.Eng.) and Media Computer Science (M.Sc.) at the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf. During this time he started working as a Videographer, Editor, Digital Image Technician and Compositing Artist on various commercial and feature film productions. In 2009, he had the pleasure to see his name in the rolling credits of a feature film for the first time as a Compositing Artist.
In 2012, he moved to Berlin in pursuit of new creative and technical challenges in the field of VFX production and filmmaking. Since then, Tobias has worked with national and international companies like Rise Visual Effects, Mackevision, Pixomondo, Screenscene, nhb studios, Storz & Escherich, Spellwork, CinePostproduction and Animal Logic as a Compositing Artist, Technical Director and Colourist on major Hollywood blockbusters and TV commercials.
In post-production, he works with Nuke X (since 2009), DaVinci Resolve and ComfyUI, and has senior development experience with Flow Production Tracking. He never shies away from utilizing every tool necessary to get the job done.
Tobi, like 99.7% of the moving picture industry calls him, likes to be part of the creative process, but also enjoys digging deep into the technical and nerdy aspects of film production and postproduction. He is a firm believer in the philosophy that „no“ should never be the only option, let alone a full sentence.
Today, Tobi works as a Visual Effects Supervisor and Production Technology Director, bringing both the creative eye and the technical backbone he has built up over the years to the productions he is part of.
You can find an (not very) up-to-date CV here but his IMDB and LinkedIn are also great ways to find out what Tobi is currently up to.
