FILMMAKING PORTFOLIO

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH:

My long journey in the world of animation started exactly 20 years ago, when I got my first PC. Since then I was “addicted” to playing video games, but soon I discovered that editing and designing my own levels for various titles was much more entertaining than the game itself.

Over the past few years I have made hundreds of broadcast designs, TV spots, advertisements for the local cable TV stations and advertising agencies. In the meantime I studied as an Agronomist and absolved a university degree. I think I am a good storyteller and 3D animation helps me visualize, whats in my mind. With my mouse I can create worlds in the virtual space.

My showreel (2022)

The Secret Kingdom (2023)

The Secret Kingdom (2023) is a family-friendly fantasy adventure film directed by Matt Drummond.

The film blends classic portal fantasy elements — reminiscent of stories like The Neverending Story — with themes of overcoming fear, dealing with loss, bravery, and the power of imagination. It runs about 98 minutes, is rated PG, and features a mix of live-action, practical effects, and CGI creatures.

I was responsible for creating hexagonal basalt rock fantasy environment using Unreal Engine 4, Zbrush, and Substance Painter. The entire creating process took 4 weeks.

Inside the Chest (2022)

The "Inside the Chest" is a multiple award winning indie animation film. It is closely connected to The Chest film story and concept. It is kinda a pschedelic tour to the depths of the characters mind, reflecting their emotions and troubled pasts.

This piece of art is also my very first feature length animation movie. This is kinda unique in it's own leage, because this is also the world's first feature length animation film created using visual research papers. It took me 5 months of render on a workstation laptop with 12GB of video RAM. It is based on the Disco Diffusion 5.1 and Pytti research papers and early diffusion models.

The whole "story" based on my work in progres animated feature, see above "The Chest". I wanted to use this piece of artistic film as a BluRay bonus. But as it turned out, art-film festivals loved the whole idea and film. So at the end it has won several indie experimental film award on numerous festivals.

Here is a short section from this unique experience:

The Chest

The latest trailer. Music composed by Jano

The Chest is a planned animated film-noir, with a strong mystical storyline. This filmproject is still on hold waiting to make happen. It is co-developed with János Andriska. The story is situated in my Eastern-European home country, Hungary. It takes place in the 1960’s, but in a post-modern scenery. I really like expressionism and abstract arts, so I pushed the visual atmosphere into this direction. The 1960’s is my favorite decade from the last century: the most beautiful cars, shiny neon light, cool fashion, the dawn of modern spy technologies.

So earlier this year I showed a 3-minute animatic trailer at the European Unreal Fest to various animators, professionals and Unreal Engine representatives. This was the first public reveal of my film and I
surprisingly got a very positive feedback.

My biggest help in this project is János Andriska alias Jano, who is also a co-writer of the screenplay. He is a talented graphics designer and animator working for TV stations and he is experienced in film projects. He is truly a fan of this film-noir and poured his heart and soul in the project.

His most iconic quote regards this filmproject:

"Dreaming of colors in a black and white world..."
