Doppelgaenger is the Vienna-based practice of Stefan Horninger —
built around direct collaboration, strong visual judgment and a way of working
that stays lean from first conversation to final frame.
Doppelgaenger was built as an alternative to heavier production structures.
The idea is simple: keep the communication direct, keep the process focused
and keep the person responsible for the image close to the work itself.
That means fewer layers, faster feedback and a clearer sense of authorship
throughout the project.
Stefan works across CGI, VFX, animation and compositing with a focus on image quality,
rhythm and the small decisions that make a frame feel finished.
The studio brings together visual sensitivity and technical control —
not as separate departments, but as part of the same process.
Some projects work best with a single clear point of contact.
Others need a broader team. Doppelgaenger stays compact by default
and expands with a trusted network of senior collaborators when the brief requires it.
The structure can grow, but the way of working stays consistent:
clear communication, realistic planning and responsibility that does not get diluted.
If the project needs a studio that stays visually sharp and easy to work with,
start the conversation here.
