My name is Jan Heinze – vfx producer and spare time geek. I am interested in people, cultures, communication and stories. This is why I love my work as a manager and producer, live in China and travel a lot, try to learn everything about communication and understanding, work in a story-telling “oriented” industry.

I collect impressions, inspirations, links – publish articles and pictures on this website.

we were really lucky to have worked on
two thrilling movies recently:
Ninja, James McTeigue Wachowskis,
a very cool actionpiece in the tradition of ninja films with the visual style of the wachowskis
Besides some other projects I was really lucky to have worked on a thrilling movie as a VFX Producer for Pixomondo this year: Ninja Assassin, directed by James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) and produced by Larry and Andy Wachowskis (The Matrix), is a very cool actionpiece in the tradition of ninja films. Dan Glass and Chris Townsend (Visual Effects Supervisors) gave it a stunning look and us the chance to contribute creativity and sweat! Check out the website!
I am very proud of the work the Ninja team at Pixomondo created and happy about how much it influences the look of the movie. It was a great team-effort on a very demanding show with lot’s of ups and downs. So much passion and love (“Add a little bit more love”;) went into the shots. It was a great experience for me!
Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to give credit to all the great artist who contributed so much with their work, in the rolling titles of the movies. (We had 6 lines – just enough for 10 credits). But I would like to take the chance to do this here.
Thanks you! It was an honor and pleasure to work with you all!
VFX Supervisor – Simply a great job, Bjørn!
