Throughout that period and following
KDLAB’s closure, Zeller worked as a
freelance digital artist, eventually acting as
the VFX producer on occasional ad agency
jobs. However, as time passed, he became
increasingly dissatisfied with what he
describes as, “the overly technical grind of
visual effects.” Having worked alongside
so many architects, he began to employ his
skills in a pure design capacity, ultimately
leading to digital set design in advertising
and in the art department on Prince of Persia.
