‘Art or filmmaking is not a hobby a part time job, something you do on the side. Its a way of life, If your moaning about a field trip or a bit of work. doing that extra bit of research to enrich your piece, This isn't for you, everything you do should be related to the form. wether thats a piece of art,movie,animation or music.’
Since graduating, Christoph adopted the medium of Stop motion animation, describing it as a ‘drug,a visceral experience, a performance. it holds an organic, raw innocence to it, but at the same time it can be very surreal and disturbing’, ‘you can sense the animator/director, you feel his personality, the essence of the artist radiates of the characters. and the audience in tern relates to this, and makes a connection with your film.’
Christoph has released several films. He now has his eyes on pushing the boundaries of animation in cinema,and people’s perceptions of the medium.
