Animation & Art
Das NEINhorn Feature Film
For this feature film project, I supported Studio SOI with my character animation skills, bringing all the main characters to life with a focus on quadruped and facial animation.
ILLENIUM
Sphere Show
For my second project at the Las Vegas Sphere, I worked for nine months as an animator on several shots throughout this 90-minute cinematic “Neo Space Opera.” The Sphere is an immersive venue featuring a massive 180-degree interior screen. In addition to focusing on character animation, I also contributed to visual concept exploration and asset creation.
Anyma
Sphere Show
While working on my Bachelor’s film, I worked 20 hours a week at the Berlin-based animation studio Woodblock.
My main contribution to this project was simulating stardust for the show’s most viral shot in Las Vegas. I also contributed to a water simulation for another shot, as well as a glass-shard simulation for the trailer displayed on the Exosphere, the world’s largest screen.
Lonely – Musicvideo
Bachelorfilm
For my bachelor’s thesis, I decided to create a 3D-animated music video. I contacted the DJ VisionV and presented my concept, earning the trust of his label, an entire animation studio, and an eight-person team, which I coordinated for six months.
Maybelline
Timessquare
For a commercial displayed on the largest screen in Times Square, I was responsible for the lighting, shading, and rendering of the 3D scene. For this campaign, I worked on a total of two billboards, three social media clips, and several poster visuals.
DJ Visuals
Reeperbahn
At the boxing ring of the legendary Reeperbahn bar “Zur Ritze,” I created DJ visuals for a corner LED wall setup using forced perspective. The party also featured an 8-meter-long LED tunnel in the entrance area, for which I supported the team at Met[ads] with the content.
KontraK
LED Cube
In summer 2024, an LED cube was installed in front of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin. I was commissioned to animate a wolf for the rapper Kontra K. The key challenge was to create a convincing perspective illusion. I also simulated the wolf’s breath and saliva.
Space Walkie
When I started my internship at Woodblock Animation Studio in Berlin in 2024, I was challenged to develop and realize my own idea as a warm-up project. It allowed me to showcase my skills and led to opportunities to work on a wide range of client projects throughout my internship.
Virtual Reality Gallery
During the fourth and fifth semesters of my Bachelor’s degree, I created a virtual gallery in which paintings that I created myself are exhibited. This interactive VR experience allows visitors to immerse themselves in the individual artworks and explore their animated worlds.

About me
Hi, I’m Noah!
I’ve been creating things for as long as I can remember, and there’s little that makes me happier than going to bed knowing I’ve made something I’m proud of—whether with my hands or on a screen.
When I was 15, my father installed a few graphics programs on my computer, sparking my fascination with 3D, image and video editing, and animation. What started as curiosity quickly became a passion that has shaped my path ever since.
I’m inspired by art, creative people, and the excitement of building something new together. I enjoy surrounding myself with people who look toward the future with optimism—and I want to be part of shaping that future.
