You can also watch it as The wild fields and the warrior with english subtitles.

THE FIELDS

Because the fields are interacting with the warrior, I had to create some characters that represent the respective field. Firstly I thought about real women living on the fields. But soon I felt that the charm the story has to convey would suffer through this concrete execution.

So I went more and more abstract. At last those mystic and spectral but also magical and beautiful beings occur in my mind. I used a collage technique to bring them on paper which would make it difficult to animate them frame by frame. Thus I decided to get some motion in it by crossfading the most important keyframes and do most of the animation in the compositing.

Development of the wild fields. At some point it was a consistant decision to show the fields naked for bringing out their natural being.

The flowerfields had to be glamorous and beautiful.

The other fields

The vegetablefields

.

The vegetablefields are my personal favorite. To symbolize fertility of nature I decided they have to be pregnant.

I like the colours of the vegetabelfields and especially the pumpkins and melons.

The potatoefields

.

The potatoefields were the most difficult. They should look like potatoes somehow but have a sexy appearance anyway.

At last I got the gracious and buxom potatoefields.

The cornfields

.

The cornfields weren't easy, too. Because of their pretty angular shape they seemed not very attractive to me. So I was glad about the idea for the crown of corn, which makes them looking a little bit like a showgirl.

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.
