Jim Obmann, Emil Pogolski, Vanessa Chu

Jim Obmann:
Jim Obmann, born in Munich in 2001, arrived at the University of Television and Film Munich in 2023, after an exciting journey through the media world. He started by producing his own songs. Through an internship in the recording studio that followed, he eventually developed from a sound editor to a video editor at a television production company. In three years, he learned about areas such as color grading, graphic animation, mixing and mastering before starting his VFX studies in October 2023.

Emil Pogolski:
Emil Pogolski, born in Munich in 2002, has a passion for creating fantastic creatures - be it on paper or in a 3D program. He gained his first experience in the world of visual effects at the Mediadesign Hochschule (MD.H), where he worked on the short films Slynx, Blue and Ingenium. In his first HFF project Woodland, he was able to expand his knowledge of cinematic storytelling and character design.

Vanessa Chu:
Vanessa Chu, born in 2003 in Soltau, is studying Visual Effects at the University of Television and Film Munich. Her passion for creative design and her enthusiasm for constantly learning new digital tools are reflected in her first animated film, “Woodland”. She created this project together with two talented fellow students.
