When I finished my studies, I bought a ticket to London. When I got here, I was very lucky that I met Allen Leitch who founded Spov. We both started in product design, and perhaps because of that he was interested. He gave me the chance to work with them, back when the studio was really small. I worked with them for a month, and then I found an internship in Copenhagen with Frame studio. That was a great experience thanks to the amazing people and super talented designers I had the opportunity to work with. A small studio at the time but fully international with full timers and freelancers from all over the world.
I worked on four installments in the Call of Duty franchise, and it was during that time that I was exploring the military / futuristic UI graphics. The design director at the time, Yugen Blake, was my mentor. He saw that I was doing well in that area, and he gave me more responsibility. As I got into it, I started doing a lot more of it, and I got the chance to lead the screen graphics section of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. It was a very good experience, designing as well as managing the process of making screen graphics.
And from there, without really knowing it, I jumped into working on movies. It was really exciting. Games are great and the quality is growing so much, but I have never been into them, while movies for me are more fascinating on a personal level.
Andrea: The screen graphics that I was working on for Call of Duty were mainly cinematic cuts that are shown between levels. It is for the final consumer, but there is no interaction like the UI you find inside the actual game play.
Kirill: As you started working on Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation as your first movie production, do you remember what was the most surprising or unexpected thing for you in doing screen graphics for feature films?
And so they keep referencing back to the usual red is bad, green is good. Make it bigger. Make it louder. Make it brighter. In my opinion though sometimes you can achieve the same level of clarity without becoming so obvious.
The scanning graphic was quite successful. In fact the director decided to add another shot to the edit where Simon Pegg was unlocking the car too. Our work is usually influenced or dictated by the director or the editor or the VFX supervisor, but sometimes like in this case it had an impact on them.
Kirill: Mission Impossible is about a government agency. Life and Passengers are about space ships developed by very structured organizations. Would you say that the military-based structure of the organization itself finds its way into the interfaces, with a lot of precise grids?
Kirill: You mentioned the time and complexity that goes into these graphics. There are so many interfaces on all of these screens around us. Do you think people understand that each one of those needs to be explicitly designed? What do you say when people ask you what you do for a living?
Andrea: Passengers was my third movie, and with that experience I kind of knew what I had to deal with. I worked on it with Ryan Jefferson Hays, and our collaboration goes back to Call of Duty in 2010. MPC is a massive company, but the motion graphics team on Passengers was quite small. Working with Ryan was familiar, and we knew what we had to do. My experience on Mission Impossible 5 helped a lot in getting it done, considering the amount of shots we had to design and animate in a short amount of time.
Andrea: We were lucky on that one to have the layout blueprint of the console bank, so we knew where the content needed to be. We printed out some graphics to get an idea if we were working with the right size. Most of them are smaller size, so the way you design changes. You need bigger text to make it more visible and clearer. We also were able to go on the set and see our graphics on the actual chassis monitors. That was great.
Part of me believes that it was quite difficult to be able to use that tablet to show the graphics and tell that story as efficiently as somewhere else. So they used the hologram at the wall, added by VFX in post-production, together with the vitals graphics on the console.
Andrea: I think the bright backgrounds on screens can distract the viewer so dark options are better. The problem is you end up using similar colours over and over. The current sci-fi world is all teal and blue. I consider that a limitation but we are also used to it and it makes the content look immediately futuristic.
Life is a sci-fi movie based in the near future 8 years from now, so there was a request from the art director to keep everything as realistic as possible. It had to be believable and a part of that environment.
Andrea: Ghost in the Shell was a massive production, with a few studios and many people involved. Ryan Jefferson Hays was directing the screen graphics and visual effects for MPC, while the designers were focusing on a single task at the time. For Hotel Vision I designed the central scanning device that would go together with the amazing comp work that was attached to the building.
Andrea: Also you have so many sci-fi movies, and I think the audience is getting used to it. This movie has brought something new, different, cool and appealing to the table. When I watched Ghost in the Shell, I found it a great visual experience. Graphics are a part of it.

In the summer semester of 2019 I was honored to be in charge of the lectures in the field of computer graphics at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences. In order to be able to show my students certain aspects of 3D modelling, I have created a large number of illustrations and graphics. I share these graphics here for free use. Maybe they are helpful for one or the other lecturer.
Important: I will update this page gradually. At the moment this wild repository is still quite a chaos. I hope I will find some time during the summer holidays to clean something up here and there and bring some structure into it.
Brian Andreas (born 1956) is the pen name of Kai Andreas Skye, an American writer, artist, publisher and speaker widely known for his simple and poetic short stories of 50 to 100 words, often accompanied by distinctive color drawings. The stories range from wry comic commentary to elegant and direct meditations on themes of love, relationships, and being alive now.
His two dimensional work takes the form of pen and ink drawings, gouache watercolors with original hand-written texts, books incorporating both art and the writings, and colorful art prints. His three dimensional and mixed-media sculptural work as of 2021 often incorporates reclaimed wood in both lyrical & representational shapes, bright colors, drawing & handwritten text in graphite. His latest sculptural work references the palimpsests of antiquity with multiple sanded layers of gesso ground, paint & saturated ink layers & handwritten texts underneath the final artwork. The mixed-media sculptures incorporating salvaged wood in deliberately crude shapes, bright colors, hand drawings (especially faces) and rubber-stamped imprints of his writings went out of production at StoryPeople in June, 2015.[1][2][3]
In 1994, Skye founded an Iowa company, StoryPeople, to distribute his work worldwide. In 2012 he founded tumblecloud.com, a collaborative digital storytelling platform. In 2014, he founded brianandreas.com as a platform for his original art and his other creative projects. In 2015, he was a key collaborator in the formation of A Hundred Ways North, a company focused on using stories and workshops to transform the ways people find and sustain community. In 2016, he signed an exclusive arrangement to distribute his new writing and artwork with Flying Edna. That continues to be the case today.
Per a 2019 divorce decree in Iowa,[5] Skyes no longer holds any rights to his art and writing before September 2012, nor is he associated with StoryPeople, the company he co-founded and created. His earlier stories, prints and books to September 2012 continue to be released by StoryPeople. The work created after September 2012 is published for both national and international audiences by Flying Edna.
"Hall of Whispers takes its name from an ancient Babylonian myth of a specially constructed room in one of the ziggurats (stepped pyramids), in which the walls were so highly polished that a whisper would stay alive forever. I have an image of the electronic networks whispering ceaselessly with the voices of our times.
"The form of the project is deceptively simple ... to create a situation ... where we could join each other around a technological campfire ... to create a virtual community using an ancient fundamental of community-making: shared stories ... a council model for understanding our world ... that it is in the sharing that greater wisdom evolves. Finally, in a turbulent world, it is easy to lose sight of the small beauties and moments of grace that occur constantly around us. I wanted Hall of Whispers to give voice to that side of ourselves that recognizes that this is as much a time of renewal as it is a time of decay."[9]
At the time of Hall of Whispers, Skye was living with his former spouse in Berkeley, and was focusing artistically on stone sculpting. "I had lots of white, black and beige around but no color."[9] The first StoryPeople sculpture was made from a board pulled from a dilapidated fence outside of his Berkeley, California studio. It was cut it into a stylized human figure, and then painted it in bright colors. Further experiments with these figures included hand stamped text along with the color and a softly blended face. Soon, these sculptural 'people' began to sell, first at the Marin Swap Meet in Sausalito, California, and then later at wine and music festivals in the San Francisco Bay area.[11] Encouraged by the results, Skye and his family subsequently left Berkeley early in 1994 and returned to Decorah, Iowa, where he had previously graduated from Luther College.[6] As the result of the Hall of Whispers and the fence-board experiments, it was written that "he discovered the StoryPeople waiting to be carved out of rough barn board, painted in bright colors, and hand-lettered with their individual stories."[12] He "gives voice to the vision of the child and the unsophisticated in books that listen to unnamed 'StoryPeople,' who express themselves through hand-stamped print, as if epigrammatically."[13]
