I’m Vincent, a technical director specializing in lighting for animation and visual effects. I studied at the Animationsinstitut of Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg and have experience working on a diverse range of projects, from short films to major productions such as Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse (Sony Pictures Imageworks) and Percy Jackson and the Olympians (Industrial Light and Magic). My diploma research project, “Capturing Light with Robots: A Novel Workflow for Reproducing Realistic Lens Flares” won the best short paper award at CVMP2024 and was presented at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024.
I am proficient in Katana, Nuke, Unreal Engine, Blender, and Houdini. In addition to animation and VFX projects I have worked on various virtual productions ranging from advertisements to episodic content. I have an eye for both stylized and photorealistic lighting. When I’m not lighting shots myself, build the tools that enable my team to do so. I love to solve problems and optimize workflows!
In my free time, I enjoy analog photography, making music, and sharing my knowledge with the community. I believe in bridging the gap between technology and art, ensuring that each project meets its unique visual requirements.
