PATHFINDER STUDIOS
This year, Jort van Welbergen announced his new studio, Pathfinder, where he and his close friends and colleagues work on a variety of projects ranging from Games to Film to VFX.
During the Dutch Game Week conference, Jort and Steven will discuss how design skills can transfer into different industries and how your own journey might take unexpected turns.
We’ll be joined by Jort van Welbergen and Steven Cormann.
Jort started as a concept artist at Guerrilla Games, working on Horizon Zero Dawn. After his time at Guerrilla, Jort moved to Manchester to work on Star Citizen. As a freelancer, he worked on games and films such as Marvel Eternals, House of Dragon and A Quiet Place, first as a senior artist, later as a lead.
Steven started out as a VFX artist. working with clients like ILM on the full VFX pipeline, seamlessly blending CG into camera footage. For quite a few shots, Steven had to design everything from scratch, such as when working on Jurassic World. This experience set him on a path that would eventually lead to working as a concept artist on The Rings of Power and many other shows.
