About

Born in Bremen and currently studying Media Design in Münster (Germany), Benno Schulze’s work is driven by a passion for blending art, technology, and narrative.

He is utilizing his experience in experimental CGI filmmaking, to bring advertisements for products, events and brands to a new level, continually pushing creative boundaries to evoke powerful emotional responses.

Creating a distinct and unique visual language standing out and bringing attention your product.

His creative approach is characterized by a raw, intense visual style, emphasizing bold, impactful imagery. He draws inspiration from post-war design movements, particularly those from the 1960s to the 1980s, where industrial and unrefined aesthetics play a pivotal role.

With experience in photorealistic rendering for both small and large-scale projects, he lets visual storytelling speak louder than words, prioritizing atmosphere and emotion over written explanation.

Beyond commercial work, Schulze is deeply engaged in experimental art films. His narratives rely on immersive sound design and eerie, emotionally charged imagery to create visceral experiences without the need for language.
‍
In two of his short films, he explored the fusion of CGI and AI-based image models, using frame inconsistencies and visual artifacts not as flaws but as expressive storytelling tools. Rather than hiding the presence of AI, he integrates it openly to complement – not replace – traditional 3D workflows, unlocking new layers of meaning and visual depth.

As a member of the local art and music collective "Luft & Laune e.V.", he is also committed to supporting and uniting the local creative scene through biannual festivals that blend artistic disciplines and immersive experiences with music and joy.
