Antti Haikala

Co-Founder at Anima Vitae Studios (Helsinki)

A key figure in the development of Finnish 3D animation scene, Antti Haikala is one of the founders of Anima Vitae, the biggest animation studio in Finland.

 
He has been working with project both big and small: commercials, TV-series and feature films. Antti is currently directing a feature length animation The Magic Crystal.

Antti's main interest in 3D animation is finding new ways of executing projects but at the same time understanding the important parts of the tradition. This has led to many interesting collaborations such as Niko & The Way To The Stars, Anima Vitae's latest feature production.

Co-productions and collaborations have been an important part of Antti's career since most of the big European animations are still co-productions. Finding new interesting combinations and possibilities in the 3D animation field has been Antti's ongoing mission for many years.
