Hello there!I used to be a full time VFX artist working as compositor, 3D artist, producer and supervisor.
These days I am mostly home-bound due to health reasons, so my focus is mostly on tending to my family as the resident cook and doing the occasional remote work for film and TV projects.
You can find my work history on IMDB or LinkedIn and I do have a rather old showreel on Vimeo. Apart from that, this is my online home. Feel free to get in touch via email or on Micro.blog.
Tons of pipes.
One level down.
Behind the pipes.
At the top.
I suspect we are going up there later.
We are visiting a church this morning to get a tour of a disassembled pipe organ. Should be interesting.
Marvel’s Echo
Just finished watching Marvel’s Echo. It was underwhelming. There was a good underlying idea in there somewhere. I think. But by the final episode I still had no idea what it was supposed to be about. No clue about the main characters goals. But I love seeing Wilson Fisk portrayed by Vincent D’Onofrio. I guess that is worth something. Overall though. Sadly one big “meh”.
I finally managed to import all my old long form articles to Micro.blog. Had to do a bit of manual adjustments of my Kirby export to get it to work, but overall it went rather smoothly (after @manton pointed me in the right direction).
Eschenfelder Grain Press
Baking bread again today. We got a grain press (as opposed to a grain mill) in January and I have incorporated pressed whole grains in my pizza and bread doughs since then. They add some great nutty flavors to the dough. Highly recommended.
BTW. @manton how is your support email queue looking? I vaguely remember writing your around end of 2023 about importing my Kirby posts and some error it throws. I haven‘t heard anything so far.
Today I learned about the Republic of Molossia and have become a fan. I mean, what’s not to like? A toy train as the national railroad? A space program complete with toy rocket launch? Brilliant!
At an indoor playground for our little ones birthday party. 4 hours and I will leave a deaf man. 🧏♂️
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you and your loved ones have a relaxing couple of days with nice company and great food. 🎄🎅
Sitting in the car, waiting to pick up my son from school, blasting Tubthumbing at full volume. Good times. 🎵
Apple Again Hikes Prices for Its Media Services
Not sure how I feel about this yet myself. Budget is getting stretched a bit thin.
We went to Kletterwald Speyer yesterday and today I am sore and bruised as hell. So a couch day full of pain it is.
One thing I always wondered about game development: in order to make the game (and test the game) wouldn‘t the game developer need to be the best player for the game as well? I mean, how do you make a super hard game without being able to play through and best the most difficult parts? Or come up with the hardest puzzles? Meaning game developers would need to be the best gamers as well?
Listening to a discussion about the current medication shortage in Germany. We really dug ourselves into a hole there over the last two decades.
Dinner thoughts for today: chicken breast with pan sauce, ginger stir fried greens and some rice with a bit of chicken stock for flavor. 👨🍳🍚🥘🥬🍗
