Thomas “Thopi” Pitsch
Visual Effects Compositor & Motion Designer
Thomas Pitsch is a Visual Effects Compositing Artist and Motion Designer with over 4 years of combined professional experience for Film, TV and advertisement.
From his early youth, he has been passionate about film, television, and moving media. With his first camera, he shot a variety of his own short films. Using software such as Blender and Photoshop, he created his own logos, intros, as well as graphics and animations of all kinds. Even at that time, he was aware that he wanted to turn this hobby into a profession after completing his schooling and become a part of the film and television industry.
Upon completing his secondary school education, he attended a media vocational college where, alongside his technical college entrance qualification, he completed training as a Design Technical Assistant. This included classes in graphic design, audiovisual media, design theory, photography, web design, and art history. He also gained initial experience in a professional work environment through an internship in post-production at the German television channel WDR.
After his graduation, he started an apprenticeship as a media designer at an advertising agency, where he gained a wealth of experience, including in the field of motion design. In order to pursue his passion for moving media, he transitioned to an apprenticeship as a Digital Media Artist specializing in 3D animation and visual effects. This training included instruction in digital compositing, 3D lighting, animation, rigging, and modeling. Within this framework, he specialized in digital compositing.
Since completing his training, he has had the opportunity to work as an employee of the renowned visual effects studio RISE FX on a variety of international film and series productions for major clients such as Marvel Studios, Disney+, Amazon Studios, Universal, and Apple TV+.
