After a short but intense career in web design and web development since 2000, I readjusted my profile to animation and media-design in 2003. Since then I have worked for all kinds of clients and in many different fields of media, trying to focus more and more on 3D-animation with Blender.
Since 2003 I am working as a freelance media-producer, using Blender as my main application for 3D animation since 2004. Having completed various projects in the field of scientific- and product-visualization for clients like SIEMENS and the Fraunhofer Society I would like to share my experiences. During the presentation I will tell the stories of how I created two to three of my largest projects, giving an insight on how professional productions can be approached and delivered in a timely and cost-efficient manner. On a larger scope I'd like to cover areas such as my reasoning behind choosing Blender as one of the most critical resources of my work, science and product –viz as a lucrative field for freelance 3D-work and the quest for the full open-source production pipeline.
