The warrior

.

The fact that the authoress of The wild fields, Moon Suk, is Korean, automatically build an asiatic setting in my mind for the whole plot. For that reason I got inspired by some samurai images I found at that time (of course I know the samurais origin is in Japan, but I didn’t want to create a scenery with a specific historical background anyway, so I felt free to explore all kinds of asian inspiration).

As you can see below, the warrior took a completely different direction in his development comparing to the fields. The more they developed seperatly, the better it worked for the story. Because the warrior had to symbolize the real world it was obvious to draw him more concrete than the fields and give him an outline which defines exactly the warriors shape.

During the process of designing the characters I also thought about totally abstract ways of telling the story. For example I had the idea to let some machines acting (the warrior would have been a tank who changes into a combine harvester) and many other things, but at the end all this seemed to be a little bit too strange to me.

Finally I am happy with the result, at least the warrior is the main character of the film. I wanted him to be a physically strong character, but also a bit instable, maybe naive.

Finally I am about to put my shortfilm from 2008 Die wilden Felder und der Krieger (The wild fields and the warrior) on my vimeo account.

Currently I’m rendering some different sizes of two versions (the original in german and a second one with english subtitles), which will take a while. To reduce the time of waiting I’ll post some facts and informations about the development and the production of the movie, over the next few days.

On sunday, December 13th, The wild fields and the warrior will be shown at the 8th La.Meko Fimfestival in Landau/Pfalz, Germany.

After more than one year that the movie is done now, this will be the premiere in Germany (instead of a little release party in my studio here in munich last year). I’m quite happy about that because it brings back my belief in the liking of good films of the german people

Yesterday the Bolzano ShortFilmFestival started in South Tyrol, Italy. The wild fields and the warrior participates in the German-speaking programm “Die kurze Welle” in section I.

I will go there on saturday with Benjamin Scabell, the guy who made some visual effects for The wild fields. I’m very excited, because I never was in Italy before and of course I’m looking forward to look at the audience while watching my movie.
