About me

From January May 2019 I supervised a 6 part TV series for National Geographic at Atomic Arts.

In 2018 , I was vfx supervisor at Unit in London , supervising various commercials, a sequence on the feature Robot 2.0, an 8 part Netflix series and a feature for Nova TV.

Before this I worked on the pre- and postvis of Disneys Aladdin.

This info about me was recently used in a pitch.

"Christian Jelen trained as Graphic Designer in the North of Germany and started working as a rostrum cameraman and compositing artist some 20 years ago. At the time he mainly worked on broadcast design and commercials for clients like MTV Europe, RTL and large European post production houses like "Das Werk".

In 1998 he moved to London, now also working with motion control, animatronics and CG. Some of his credits include "The Pirates!" for Aardman animation, "Sherlock Holmes-a game of shadows!" for Guy Ritchie, Jim Henson's "Mirrormask", "Game of thrones" for HBO, Alex Garland's "Dredd" and the BBC's "Fight for life" (BAFTA Best Visual Effects 2008). He was also involved in music videos like the Gorillaz's "Slow boat to Hades", the Corrs "Long night", and tour graphics for "Take That " and "Aerosmith".

As a vfx supervisor he worked on shows like "Spirit Warriors" (CBBC) , Death in holy orders (BBC) companies like "Prime Focus"and the feature film "4321", plus VR films and building projections.

Christian brings in his rich background in various disciplines: illustration, on set supervision, 2d- and 3d post, a skill for stylised and photo real visual effects, combined with a strong sense for practical solutions."
