Hello, I’m Elli, 3D Motion Designer and
VFX Artist for Virtual Production Based in Munich.

Airplane Mapping - Dream Liner Event

This projection mapping onto Lufthansa’s new Boeing 787 was a fitting tribute to the innovative technology and innovation that Lufthansa is known for.

I was in charge of the mapping show on the aircraft, but I also created animations for the show on the runway as well as the LED screens above the audience.

Interactive Exhibition IAA Mobility

We designed the first trade fair appearance of Leonhard KURZ at the IAA Munich, using design as a language and presenting KURZ as a leading design partner, showcasing their components and overall solutions. Through digital and interactive stations, immersive experiences were to be created that reflect customer priorities of design, sustainability, innovation, and inspiration.

Embracing a mixed-media approach, the exhibition featured:

- An interactive LED wall, used to showcase Leonhard KURZ's design solutions on a large scale
- A digitally enhanced rear end cover,
- A captivating 3D animated film highlighting Kurz front grill designs,
- An engaging AR application presenting a diverse range of charging station designs
- A distinctive promotional gift comprising 500 AI NFT artworks complemented by physical components and animations.

VR Experience

The VR film was created and animated using Unreal in the first Part and Cinema 4D, with rendering accomplished through Cycles 4D in the Second Part. Moreover, the film was produced using stereoscopic rendering, this generates two slightly different images, each intended for the left and right eye. These images are then viewed together to create a spatial effect, adding depth and realism to the experience.

Animation was produced in two parts:

• Part 1: Countdown and Rocket Launch - Animation by Kevin Fuchs
• Part 2: Satellite Deployment, Mirror Alignment, and Networking - Animation by myself

This Experience was Part of our Laser 2022 Booth for PI

3D Audio Demo

This 3D audio demo was created for Lufthansa Technik's booth at the NBAA in Las Vegas, featuring an exclusive room setup equipped with Lufthansa’s Omnify speakers to deliver a fully immersive 16.1 sound experience. These effects aim to immerse the viewers in a captivating experience where the elements are presented in a unique and engaging way while subtly introducing premium travel destinations for the business jet sector. I managed the complete 3D video production, from concept and animatic to the final render, crafting visuals that elevate the spatial audio journey.

Realtime Set Extension

We utilize either a greenscreen or a physical LED backdrop that is digitally extended. This extension is achieved using a custom 3D scene created within Unreal Engine. Our setup is optimized for live usage, ensuring real-time adjustments and seamless integration.

My role in this endeavor involves designing, crafting, and animating the 3D environments, as well as programming the show flow and interface between the camera, tracking data, and virtual world to create a seamless, real-time functioning scene. Additionally, I’m responsible for setting up the cameras and tracking on-site, as well as directing the camera during the livestream.

Felix & Fauli

We produced 28 episodes of a german children's series starring former ski pro Felix Neureuther and Actress Grit Paulussen. The aim is to motivate our children to engage in more sports, impart joy in movement, and activate both their minds and bodies through playful exercises.

I prepared the backgrounds and environments, rigged the character, and implemented it into Unreal Engine. Integration with the Rokoko tracking system enabled real-time tracking within Unreal. Additionally, the character's position in the space was tracked using an HTC Vive. Furthermore, I programmed the interface between Unreal Engine and Aximmetry. With this software, I keyed the green screen footage and seamlessly combined the entire image with the motion tracked character animation, camera tracking, real-world footage, and virtual backgrounds.

Karlskompensator - Projection Mapping

In the fall of 2020, there was a call for submissions for the first “BBBank Newcomer Award in Projection Mapping,” which Genelabo / Crushed Eyes Media won. As a result, we were given the opportunity to illuminate the Karlsruhe Palace with our Karlskompensator project for six weeks in the summer of 2021.
I was able to contribute to the production by taking on two scenes, supporting the project with my animations.

3D Virtual World

For Vitesco Technologies, we've crafted an introductory film that showcases the captivating visual concept world of Vitesco. This film serves as a dynamic prelude to each event, setting the stage for an immersive experience. 

The film was primarily created utilizing the advanced capabilities of Unreal Engine.
The resulting virtual world was also used as a real-time backdrop for various virtual livestreams by Vitesco Technologies.
