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.
By the way, a friend and I have started a monthly 30 minute talk podcast. It’s on Anchor.fm right now, but I am thinking of hosting it on Micro.blog. 🎙️
It is called Sprachmixing.
Getting an iron infusion today. Ah, the joys of failed kidneys. 🩸💉
Looks like I have ironed out most of the kinks. Theme works. Custom homepage works. Custom domain works.
Currently reading: Mythos: The Greek Myths Retold by Stephen Fry 📚
It has an interesting way to tell the stories. So far I like it.
After years of online hiatus I have decided to make Micro.Blog my main site. Of course, it is not as simple as it sounds. For example, none of my already existsing posts show on the homepage (https://alexkucera.micro.blog). Also I have issues with pointing my domain (alexanderkucera.com) to my Micro.blog page. But I am slowly chipping away at my issues. I am sure I will prevail. Eventually…
Yesterday I came across one of the most German things I have seen in a long time. Apparently there is such a thing as an “Arbeitsschutzgetränk”, which means “worker protection drink”. In essence it is an isotonic drink for workers in high heat work places. But I find it hilarious that we Germans felt the need to come up with a convoluted word for it.
Drive Act 2 is on Kickstarter! Go get it if you even remotely like science fiction and/or comedy.
Ok. Let’s see. I’ll be trying out posting to Micro.blog directly again for a while. Usually I post to my Kirby blog, but my workflow for that is just a bit convoluted. It might be nice to have a more immediate workflow for a change.
Went to a vascular surgeon today for a checkup. Apparently I have “the veins of a twenty year old”.
I’m at a lack for words. -> Flat Earth
The commercial I did for Kaufland is online. It was a fun two weeks of compositing and grading.
Oh boy! I didn’t expect this. Looks like I’ll be working with Blender in a professional setting for the first time since 2005.
Good morning Hamburg!
Hamburg here I come again. Two weeks of sunshine (right Hamburg?), shopping, meeting friends…and oh yeah work.

Recording while waiting for 3D scenes to load. Creating an intro video for an application is so not my thing…
