Jack Moik - Soundtrack Composer / Matte Painter / Editor

About Me

Film + Video Editor / Matte Painter / Digital Graphic Artist / Music Composer for Motion Picture , TV , Commercials , Game since 1996.

I stepped into the motion picture world by working on visual effects and miniatures for a couple of motion picture and TV productions. I worked as motion control camera assistant and helped designing and building FX miniatures.
Late in the 90's I switched to the digital realm, since then I edited a variety of films, commercials & music clips. Recently I specialized in digital matte painting, concept art, historic wardrobe and miniature effects. Since miniatures seem like an endangered species, I like to keep it alive
I also do write and produce music for motion picture, TV, commercials and games. My clients from editing and composing include people and companies like Phillip Morris, Leo Burnett, ZDF Television, Kelloggs, BBC, ASP, Procter & Gamble, Nippon Connection, Klett Cotta, Merz, JVC, Revell, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Starcrest Media, Rosebud Entertainment, Deutsches Filmmuseum Frankfurt.
Digital matte painting, miniatures and soundtrack composition...well it sounds like a unique combination, but it works quite well. I recently finished the edit, 25 digital matte paintings and the Renaissance puppet wardrobe for the new music short film "ME" featuring the band ASP. What a project!I'm currently working on visual FX for the new German Movie "Mein Kampf" staring Goetz George & Tom Schilling.Please have a look at our new ASP trailer for the upcoming album below.
I hope you enjoy my music demos. Please feel free to give me some feedback
