Q1. Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your creative background.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m Jen Moller, the Director of this short film. I’ve spent roughly three decades in the field of animation, accumulating extensive expertise in feature films, short films, TV series, and commercials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I initially pursued a master’s degree in Architecture and Production Design, and my career has encompassed a wide spectrum of animated productions. As a director, I have overseen TV series and TV specials, including “Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu” and “Lego Star Wars.” More recently, I have directed 3D animated features like “Daily Fables” at Grid Animation and “The Ogglies” at WunderWerk GmbH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, I hold the position of director for the animated feature “Fleak” at Anima Vita and serve as Co-Director for the 3D animated feature “Elli” at Zooper Film. In addition to my directing roles, I have also shared my knowledge as an educator at various European film schools over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2. What made you become\/why did you choose to become a creative?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always had a passion for drawing and creative expression. During my studies in architecture, I came to realize the potential of designing entire cinematic worlds through animation. Given my love for storytelling, this naturally became the path I chose to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q3. Tell us more about your business\/company, job profile, and what you do.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anima is an award-winning character animation studio with a passion for art and cinema. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anima has been one of the leading 3D animation studios in the Nordic region for two decades! The studio is located in Helsinki and branched out to Kuala Lumpur in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Anima team have produced 10,000+ minutes of aired animation ranging from animated TV series and feature films. We have a combined passion for character animation and telling stories through animation together with artistic ambition are the driving forces behind the studio\u2019s success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q4. What does \u201ccreativity\u201d mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creativity is to create. To imagine something and share this imagination with the world. To seek beyond the obvious and \u201csurprise\u201d yourself and others with your imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q5. To you, what makes a \u201ccreative\u201d idea and\/or design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, creativity comes into play whenever you embark on an idea that involves exploring new narratives or designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
