Arne Hain
I am a filmmaker specialised in stop motion animation, combining new and traditional techniques to find the fitting visual style for each content. Creating stuff with my own hands as well as telling stories is what I love about animation. My skills include animating, compositing, puppet manufacturing and storytelling.

What clients have to say about my work.
Walter Steffen, Konzept&Dialog
"Since I know Arnes early work, that he was awarded for with many prices, it was a pleasure to work with him on my two feature films „Happy Welcome“ and „Fahr ma obi am Wasser“. Arne made Animations for these films that absolutely upvalued the films. He combines a lot of creativity with skill and a high professionality standard. His work always exeeded my expectations and I am looking forward to working with him on my film „Joy in Iran“."
Verena Breitbach, NIVEA
"Arne and his team provided a digital film to support the launch of the NIVEA SUN dolls that exceeded our expectation. Working with the student team was at all times very professional and KPIs were always delivered fully and on time. Due to the great result, we decided to hire them again for a continuation of the film in year 2 which again resulted in an excellent film that helped increase awareness for our product. I can highly recommend Arne and his team."
