What is your name and your current occupation?
My name is Hans-Christian Mose Jehg and I am building production pipeline and asset management systems for animated features and TV-series, in the company HoBSoft. I’m not artistic at all, but I like making life easier for the production crew so they can spend less time on administration and put more art onto the screen. Our way of working is especially well suited productions working at several sites, like co-productions or outsourcing situations.
What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation?

What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of?
