What or who influenced you to started animating?

A combination of interests in storytelling, animation via 3d or stopmotion and character creation.

Do you work in the industry or create animation as a hobby?

I create animation as personal projects and I also work as an animator for 3d animated commercials so I guess its both.

Tell us a bit about the software and hardware used in your creative work.

3dsmax, combustion, after effects, photoshop, flash, sound forge, premiere.
Regarding hardware, just whatever machine im using at any given time.

Where has your work been showcased on television, internet, film festivals, mobile etc?

My commercials have aired in Iceland and Denmark. Some of what I do is designed specificly for the net and yes some animations have gone to festivals. The funniest one was when my graduation project from the Multimedia School of Iceland wandered to a festival in India.

Any projects we can look forward to seeing from you in the near future?

Currently working on a script for an animation short, personal project, but hey. Who isn't?
