My name is Jil Funk and was born in 1994 in Luxembourg. I started drawing at a young age and finished my school at the Art Section in Luxembourg. The unbelievable variety of art motivated me to purposefully tackle a course of study with an artistic discipline. Since September 2013 I study the subject “Virtual Design” at the University of Kaiserslautern. The degree program is very versatile. The degree program covers classical analogue drawing as well as graphic design and corporate design. Among other things, the study includes the modeling of 3D objects up to their visualization and animation.
Furthermore, the degree program deals with Virtual Reality and, last but not least, photography also finds its place. After 4 years I finished my bachelor thesis with the title: “Use of physics simulation in computer generated animated film”. After my studies in Kaiserslautern my interest in movies and videos was aroused. In 2018 I started my Master at the Filmuniversity Council KONRAD WOLF. My degree program is “scenography” with a focus on VFX. The study includes Lightning at Shading, as well as Motion Capture Animation up to compositing and special effects. I graduated with a “Master of Fine Arts” degree in March 2021.
