Summary
๐ Hi there! Here's what I do in ๐ฏ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฝ๐ (click see more below):
1. ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ ๐ฒ๐น ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ - I have both a background in film principal photography where I've found an incredibly deep love for lighting, camera sensor technology and lenses. Combined with a new passion for digital imagery which has elevated me into working as a digital compositor, VFX-artist and 3D-generalist that makes me push my boundaries for what images I can output for projects - regardless if they're shot on a cinema camera or captured on a digital cine camera in Unreal Engine 5.
2. ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ - Years of analyzing content, doing marketing studies and workshops from the likes of Meta, Snapchat, Google and LinkedIn has made me really learn all the ins and outs of the psychology and tactics behind audience behavior, consumer cycles in marketing campaigns and distribution of a film or commercial project.
3. ๐๐ถ๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฏ๐๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป - There's no point in knowing strategies if you can't put them into practice. That's why I'm also experienced in distribution of content using paid social on SoMe ad platforms such as Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, but also non paid organic using growth hacking techniques fully utilizing each platforms full potential. An example of this is currently growing my own Youtube channel focused on 3D and VFX tutorials.

Experience
- Pipeline Technical Director (Pipeline TD) at Stiller StudiosStockholm, SEJanuary 2024 - Present
As Pipeline Technical Director at Stiller Studios, my primary responsibility is developing and implementing cutting-edge production workflows for our animated features.
Our current project "Red Mask" (Handbok fรถr Superhjรคltar) is utilizing groundbreaking motion capture and real-time rendering technologies. For "Red Mask," I helped design an Unreal Engine 5/iClone 8 pipeline integrating Optitrack optical mocap directly into iClone and for rendering in Unreal Engine.
This seamless integration allows animators to work fluidly between live-action performances and virtual character animation. As an experienced Director of Photography, I also work closely with the director during pre-visualization to help visualize scenes and troubleshoot any technical challenges.
We're also collaborating closely with Reallusion, the developers of iClone and Character Creator. As one of their studio partners, we work directly with their R&D team to help implement new features and functionality.
This benefits not only our productions, but helps Reallusion continue advancing their software. For "Red Mask," I provide feedback that help shape new real-time animation workflows.
I'm constantly researching innovative solutions to push creative boundaries and streamline our process. It's incredibly rewarding to see how advanced real-time tools are transforming the art of animation here at Stiller Studios. I'm excited to continue developing pipelines that will define the future of our industry.
- Director of Photography and VFX at tiedtke.Kalmar, SwedenOctober 2014 - Present
The first step in film making, or in communication of any type in general, is so basic it's obvious, and yet blatantly overlooked by so many - Make me care. We all know what it's like to not care. You sit on your phone and scroll through the feed, post after post, ad after ad, quickly glazing at the images. But then suddenly you stop on one. It's a post from someone you don't know or follow, but you're drawn in and keep reading and watching. That's not by chance. May it be aesthetically and visually compelling, or you find the topic interesting. That's by design.
