interview

AN INTERVIEW WITH

Anselm v. Seherr

Q. Hello Anselm, could you tell us a bit about yourself, location, employment etc. and what irst inspired you to

take up a career in the Arts Industry?

Hello CGArena Magazine, My name is Anselm v. Seherr –

hoß, I´m 25, born, raised and still living in good old Han-

nover in the center of Germany (without being there very often

though, maybe that´s why I like it so much ). I´m a VFX

Freelancer with strong preference on particle - and simulation

FX. Vray shading is fun too sometimes but not as challenging.

Hmm, technically I was inspired by artists that gather around

CGTalk or other studios. Mostly by the stuf Blur ( www.blur.

com) did around 2004 and 2005. I started as a shading and com-

positing artist at irst being an intern at SoulPix (www.soulpix.

de) for 6 month illing the compositing and shading gap since

all otheres modeled, rigged or animated. hat was the very irst

day I saw 3d studio max: 1st of October 2004, signiicant date for me . After the intern I was asked to stay. One

day the TD came around the corner with Allan McKays irst Advanced Visual Efects DVD and KABOOOM I knew

where I belong .

Personaly I guess the root lays much deeper back. My mom, she studied arts and is an art teacher until the very day in

elementary school as well as college and high school. She collects tons of art books and paints at home even today. She

has an enourmous art knownledge. So I guess my fate was sealed when I was born *haha* Another big chunk goes

to my irst PC I got back in 1994 when I was 11. I never did artworks with it but I was already dealing with videogames

and stuf at that age.
