Konzerthaus Berlin: Sleigh Ride
3B Produktion
Illustration, Animation
Seasons Greetings from Konzerthaus Berlin in a rotoscoped animation video.
The video consists of around 1000 individual hand-painted images on paper. The shot material with the brass instruments served as a reference for the rotoscopy. Felt-tip pens, colored pencils, watercolor paint, acrylic paint and ink were mainly used. The foreground and background were painted separately and then digitally reassembled. Link

Apple TV+ Suspicion

The constant surveillance of the suspects played a major role in Apple TVs Drama/Thriller Series „Suspicion“. So a large part of working on this for Territory Studios was designing and creating assets for the many screens in the control center and on police devices.
