Helge Maus
„As a child, I scripted the first 3D animations on my C64. I was fascinated by the first special effects in films like „The Neverending Story“, „Flash Gordon“ and of course „Star Trek“ and „Star Wars“. After that I watched pretty much every SciFi and Fantasy film and tried to learn creating these worlds on the computer. The enthusiasm for the animated, computer-generated moving image has never let go of me and I certainly will never let go of it. Today I am happy that I can not only explain this world to other enthusiasts, but also bring it closer to them. I want to achieve it over and over again that 3D & vfx-Artists learn to understand their tools with joy and depth, with the goal that their ideas and visions learn to fly!“
