about fxclusive
hans c schultheiss
motion designer
illustrator
director
born in leipzig and raised in aachen hans is a motion designer and illustrator commuting between hamburg, cologne and aachen, germany. he began producing under the pseudonym fxclusive in 2004 and is now working at sehsucht, hamburg for a number of high end clients. in addition to his work at sehsucht he is always looking for interesting national and international projects in the range of design, motion graphics and illustration.
his work is influenced by comicbook and animation artists such as alex ross, katsuhiro otomo or mamuro oshii, as well as classic art and painting. as a child he has always been addicted to videogames and when he played wipeout in 1995, it has been a trigger. the colorful and fast mixture of visuals and electronic music led him to graphic and motion design (thanks to designers republic and psygnosis). since then the connection between visual and auditory styles is a great challenge to him.
