I'm Henrik Bach Christensen. A feature's effects are a few thousand elements moving through dozens of artists and vendors in several countries — every one of them with versions, dependencies and a delivery date nobody can move. Since 2010 I have supervised that on Miss Viborg and Breeder, composited on Netflix's first Danish series and on Bille August's A Fortunate Man, and run years of commercial work alongside it. Now CEO of Wangle Media.
Most of it has been spent between the artists and the pipeline. I build software now, and I advise businesses on putting new technology to work.
I have run companies for twenty years, and productions for longer. They turn out to be the same job.
People usually start by asking which model or which app to buy. The useful question is what the work consists of, and which parts of it are rules a machine can follow. I have built pipelines that thousands of assets pass through; it is the same problem.
Agentic workflows, generative image and video. I use them daily and ship software built on them, so I can tell you which parts of your operation they change and which are still demos.
Conventional SEO, and GEO: whether ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and Perplexity name you when a customer asks for what you sell. Related, but they need different answers.
Twenty years of production budgets and vendor bids, and of watching schedules slip. Useful if you are buying content, or working out whether to bring any of it in-house.
A review of your digital presence: the site, search, speed, analytics, and the gap between what you offer and what a visitor can find. You get a written report — what is wrong, and what order to fix it in. Not a retainer.
Both free, and both built for my own work first.
A video converter that never uploads anything. It runs a WebAssembly build of FFmpeg inside the page, so your footage is read straight off your disk, converted by your own processor. There is no file-size limit.
A growing collection of free AI and media tools that need no cloud: transcribe audio and video, edit and unlock PDFs, clean up recordings, convert between formats, tune an instrument. The models run on your hardware. No limits, no sign-up.
Written for my own work and left public. All of it is mine, no forks of other people's projects.
Local-first speech-to-text for the browser: Whisper on WebGPU and WASM, with WebNN acceleration. The audio never leaves the device. This is what does the transcribing on yourdevice.app.
An MCP server for Blackmagic Fusion Studio: inspect, build, modify and render comps inside a live Fusion session over fusionscript. I wrote it so an assistant can read the comp it is working on.
Wakes a persistent AI agent when a peer writes to a shared channel, so the agent reacts to events instead of polling for them. Pluggable, and works across machines over Syncthing.
Generates AprilTag fiducial markers for photogrammetry and computer vision. I use them as tracking markers on set.
Prepares DNG image sequences for RealityCapture, with a GUI, so a shoot can go from card to solve without hand-editing every frame.
The rest is on github.com/CphVisuals and github.com/hensenx.
Features, television, short film and gallery work — supervising, and sometimes physically making the piece. What follows is the narrative work. The commercials are not on IMDb and are not listed here. Five of these are with Larissa Sansour and Søren Lind, across thirteen years. Partner and VFX supervisor at Redeye Film from 2010, then Cph Visuals under its own name, and co-founder of Wangle Media since 2019.
Selected work. The full list is on IMDb.
