VFX 22 – SHOWREELS
VFX, for me, is about telling a story. Either if it’s enhancing a picture or creating something from scratch, it’s the story that puts it to life. It’s the art of weaving imagination and technology seamlessy that transports audiences to new worlds. As an aspiring VFX-intern, I am committed to pushing creative boundaries and transforming ideas into visual experiences, driven by the belief that every frame should leave a lasting impression on the minds of the viewers. I am a dedicated compositing artist with a passion for digital matte paintings, concept art, general comp and creating telling environments. Nuke and Adobe Photoshop am I most comfortable in, but have knowledge and curiosity in Maya, Unreal Engine as well as Houdini. I am thrilled to start my VFX journey and can’t wait to start creating magic!

Jesper Jönsson
Hello, I am a 3D generalist with a focus on modeling, advanced rigging and animation. Would like to get better at comp and simulations to broaden my knowledge as a generalist. In teams, I am creative and stress-resistant, which I have learned after have worked in the film industry. Through that, I also understand the benefit of maintaining a positive attitude towards the end goal.
Jonathan Söder
I’m a technical compositing artist that enjoys CG integration and other intricate comp-work. My background in film, video editing and live broadcasting made me a fast learner that enjoys tackling problems, creative and technical, while also being as efficient as possible. While Nuke is my preferred software, I am proficient with other programs such as Maya, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and DaVinci Resolve.
Anton Störling
I’m a 3D generalist oriented towards simulations, look dev, lighting and procedural modeling. I feel at home in several aspects of the VFX process, but I’m especially interested in Houdini and the possibility to quickly experiment and iterate using non-destructive workflows. In the future I want to improve at combining proceduralism with artistic creativity when building environments and I hope to learn more about making CG characters and character effects.

I seize every opportunity to explore innovative ways of using Nuke in compositing. Have a look at my showreel from the past year at Xenter and join me in my VFX explorations. See you soon!
Melina Gohari
I’m a 3D generalist with an extra interest in look development, environmental building and lighting. Seeing a cinematic shot that is masterfully crafted, pleasing to look at and evokes any type of feeling is what drives me to be better and the primary reason as to why I love this line of work. I also am having a lot of fun with all the different aspects of VFX, anything from learning animation, simulations, texturing or compositing. Those are just examples, the list goes on. I would definitely say that one of my greatest strengths is my ambition and drive to learn when doing something I really care about. That is one of the moste valuable things that I have brought with me from this education and I can’t wait to bring it with me to my work life and keep improving! My experience as of now mainly lies with Maya, Nuke and Unreal Engine and am also really looking forward to learning Houdini.
Jack Pensar
I am a VFX student with a focus on modeling, texturing, environment, and lighting. I use Blender and Maya for 3D work, Nuke for compositing, and can use most Adobe software for post-production tasks and are right now focusing on learning Houdinin. I like the journey of following a project from early production to final image and enjoy working together with others to tell a story from what we create.
Victor Flodén
My name is Victor Flodén, and I’m an aspiring 3D animator with a love for storytelling, and a passion for creating immersive and visually compelling narratives. As a VFX student at Xenter Botkyrka I’ve had the opportunity to use my skills as an artist to storyboard various projects in Photoshop before setting off into Maya and explore the fundamentals of 3D like modeling, lighting, UV-mapping, and animation. I’ve also had the chance to texture assets in Substance Painter or Mari before importing them back into Maya, or using them in projects in Unreal. I have my sights set on learning and growing as an artist, especially as an animator.
Mia Dahlqvist
David Rundlöf
I am a 3D generalist, leaning towards lighting and lookdev, environments and motion graphics.

Eric Turner
I’m an American living in Stockholm, Sweden with my Swedish wife and family. I’m older than the rest of the students and this is my mid life career change. I’ve always loved art. I grew up drawing and playing dungeons and dragons and dreaming of being a comic book artist. My first introduction to 3D art was in zBrush which I love. That naturally lead me to want to learn better ways of rendering and animating my sculpts. I am interested in all aspects of 3D, I’m still too naive to really know what I want, I’m really up for anything. My strengths atm are modeling, sculpting, and texturing, and of course I love unreal engine, it’s so fast to concept shots. After creating my Star Wars Tie Pilot I know my way around making clothes in marvelous designer. I enjoy working from a concept and trying to be perfect about it. The Star Wars pilot was super fun to do for me. If you need anyone making assets and of course characters I’m your guy. I also enjoy coming up with the blocking, lighting, and composition of potential shots. You can see some of that in the unreal engine shots included in my showreel. I really enjoy animation as well, I particularly like mocap and cleaning up/adding to mocap animations. I just got a taste of it at school and I really enjoy it. My next project is learning houdini, after that getting my Tie Pilot into his spaceship and doing a film level shot with mocap rendered in Arnold. I would be honored to work at any of your companies, I’m evolving and am open to work on any and all parts of the process. All the best, Eric
Katja Hedengren
I am a 3D artist with a background in traditional animation, and a passion for hard surface modeling, rigging, and animation. Thanks to my background in animation, moving into rigging and animating in 3D has always felt like a natural step in extending my skill set.
Solving problems with creative solutions is something I strive for and learning different ways to approach situations to make working both more fun while also improving my understanding of the subject. My experience in working with 3D is mostly in Maya, but I’d also love to become more familiar with rigging in other software, and by taking a deeper dive into scripting in order to make my work even more efficient.
