Felix Weyss grew up as part of a huge patchwork family in a small town about 25 mins from Vienna, the heart of Austria. During his high school years at HTL Spengergasse, where the class focus was audio-visual media design, he regularly worked at a graphic design studio called Vektorama.
During this time he gained a lot of self-confidence as an artist and learned some important facts about himself, like his drive for creating moving image work. Therefore he chose to continue his studies at the University of Applied Sciences in Salzburg, specialising in 3D character animation and game design.
After graduating with a Bachelor in Arts in 2017, he started working professionally at the digital advertising agency TUNNEL23 as an animation designer. There he created work in different disciplines, including 2D animation, 3D character animation and Motion Graphics. His most fruitful experience was working with a team and learning to give and accept constructive feedback.
In 2019 he rediscovered his passion for learning new techniques and translating ideas into short narratives. Therefore he chose once again to continue studying an MA degree in animation in the UK at the Royal College of Art, which he recently successfully graduated from. In the future Felix wants to combine different disciplines and collaborate with different artists. His curiosity and hunger to learn new techniques is what keeps his work innovative.
