Ralph Niemeyer Production Design · Ralph Niemeyer works as a production designer, photographer, art director and cinematographer and in all his professional fields he is constantly searching for the perfect composition. The search for this has been the constant in his career. After leaving school, he quickly found his way to films, where he worked, among other things, as a camera assistant, property master, and first gaffer for documentation films and well-known German television series, which were awarded the Grimme Prize among others.

This was followed by a remarkable career in animation film for well-known cinema productions that garnered numerous international awards, including the German Film Prize in Germany.
