My work is focused on making videos and podcasts about science and technology topics. I specialize in developing explainatory video formats for mobile viewing, mixing animation and documentary styles. I studied filmmaking and animation at Zurich University of the Arts and began working as a video journalist at SWI swissinfo.ch in 2004. Since then I have specialised in creating different styles of animation for our visual products.
The Wildermett Park old people’s home in Bern follows the so-called Eden-philosophy, which comes from the United States. It aims to make the elderly feel at home, and not give them the impression they are in a hospital or prison. (Michele Andina, swissinfo 2005)
