vita
Hi my name is Hannes, i am born in Frankfurt (Main), Germany. With the age of 17 I did a five-month student exchange program to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and Newport Oregon, USA. In Highscool in canada I learnd about HTML and Webdev, when I came back I made a web site for my father with a online store to sell his products. After obtained a university-entrance diploma (Abitur) at Gymnasium in Friedberg (Hessen), Germany. I did a nine-month community service in a kindergarten in Frankfurt (Main). While studing visual commuinication (graphic design) I did a six-month internship at “Werbe-Studio Hohman” in Berlin, focusing on corporate architecture and design. Followed by a six-month internship at seed - digital vision in Frankfurt(Main) as a 3D artist in post-production.
I earned a diploma in visual communication and design at the Rhein Main University in Wiesbaden. My first job was in web development and design at Arts & Others in Bad Homburg. Next I decided to move to Berlin working as a freelancer, specializing in web design, motion design, 3D computer animation, and photography. After 3 years I moved back to Friedberg (Hessen), focusing on film and post-production. After that I started working at edition & galerie hoffmann in Friedberg (Hessen) helping to exhibit and sell art photography, film, and web design.
During my work with artist at the gallery I also started to do my own artwork. I joined the art and culture association Kulturverein Wetterausicht e.V. I became a member of the collective “Projektraum Sechs Eins” and had a little studio in a old barn of "Wetterausicht e.V." where I could build my robots using a 3D printer. We did drawing sessions with “Projektraum Sechs Eins” in Bingenheim every week for a duration of two years. During that time I participated at "Werkwoche" for six times.
At this event, eight to twelve artists live and work together in Bingenheim and present their results at the end of the week in a joint exhibition in the gallery space of the “Projektraum Sechs Eins”.
We won the first prize, “Dr. Erhard Roth Medal,” for participation in the art festival “Kunst in Licher Scheunen” representing the Friedberg art association, Kunstverein Friedberg.
After 8 Years working at the art gallery I quit my job to start with game development. I acquired a certificate from Epic EMEA - Animation Initiative, covering Unreal Engine 5, 3D animation, and 3D modeling. Received certification in Unreal Engine 5 from Future Training & Consulting GmbH, with training in Blender, Substance Painter, game development, game art, game programming, and 3D animation.
During my three-month stay in Fortaleza, Brazil, I earnd a certification from Epic Bootcamp: Animation, through Epic Games (UT-Hub), gaining expertise in sequencer animation, rigging, mocap, blueprints, lighting, rendering, MetaHumans, landscape and vegetation design, world building, and materials.
I am always happy to hear about new projects and meeting interesting new people. Feel free to send me a message at hello[ät]hannes-siller.com.
