Who i am

I’m Philipp Willer, a German animation professional with over 10 years of experience in the VFX industry. My journey began with a diploma in 3D & VFX, followed by years of hands-on work as an animator and supervisor for major studios like PIXOMONDO and MPC. Today, I serve as Head of Animation, managing international teams and contributing to global productions across television, film, and streaming.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked on high-profile shows such as House of the Dragon, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Shazam!, and Halo. My leadership style is collaborative, pragmatic, and artist-focused – I care about both the final frame and the people behind it.

Along the way, I’ve not only led teams remotely but also worked on-site at Leavesden Studios, supporting production during filming and helping bridge the gap between set and post plus previz.

Outside the studio, I teach animation at private academies, mentor young talent, and explore the world through photography. Whether I’m reviewing a shot, building a pipeline tool, or capturing a quiet moment with my camera – I love creating visual work that feels thoughtful, structured, and alive.
