http://www.anovadesign.com Biography
I am a 28 year old Danish designer and motion director. I love my work as a designer and I constantly push myself to become better.
I think it all started when I was a kid. Like other kids I spent a lot of time drawing and playing computer games. I used to "hack" AMIGA games and draw my own gaming elements using Deluxe Paint. 10 years later I picked up Flash and Photoshop and started experimenting again. I have attended design courses and a design school where I earned a BA in interaction design and a MA in graphic design. Since then I have been doing all kinds of design related work, working in the industry and now running my own design studio ANOVA.
Where do you work? What do you do there?
I have my own motion design studio ANOVA where I do concept, design and production work for all kinds of moving images including commercials, title sequences, television idents, promos, visual effects ect.
How long have you been in this field?
I have spent roughly 10 years in the field of design, working mainly with interaction design and graphic design. I have only just recently made the move into motion design where my entire focus is right now.
What role did (are) you play(ing) in the project?
I am the concept developer, designer, director, animator and programmer on all material on my website except for some commercial projects I made while working as a visual effects artist at Absolute in London. I like taking part in the entire design process involving concept development, design direction and production.
What was (is) your inspiration for this project?
I am constantly looking for inspiration everywhere and I rarely keep track of where it comes from.
What is in your equipment/gear setup?
I currently have a Mac Pro 8-core running Vista 64. For production I use Adobe and Autodesk products like most people. Until recently I had a 5 year old worn-out Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop on which I did all my work.
What are some websites you visit daily?
Currently I visit the following websites:
http://www.ventilate.ca/
http://www.feedhere.com/
http://www.motionographer.com/
http://www.thefwa.com/
http://www.cpluv.com/

Who's work do you most enjoy?
Tough question, if I had to name a single person from the top of my head it would be Michel Gondry. He is simply fantastic and one of a kind.
What advice can you share to people just getting into this field?
Do what you love, and remember to love what you do.
Any other comments?
Thank you for having me here on Muse.
