Making of “Die wilden Felder und der Krieger”

Finally I am about to put my short film 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 making of the movie, over the next few days..

Ostermontag ist gerettet!

Die Zeit ist reif für ein neues NDR Bibelquiz. Am Montag, den 05. April um 22:10 h, ist es endlich wieder soweit. Im NDR Fernsehen läuft die neueste Ausgabe der beliebten Quizsendung, für die ich natürlich auch diesmal wieder einige lustige Zeichentrickclips produziert habe.

Nähere Informationen zur Sendung gibt es auf der NDR Homepage.

Viel Spaß!

New animation screenshots added

Zum Jahresausklang gibt es ein paar neue Animation Screenshots von Zeichentricksequenzen, die ich letztes Jahr für das  NDR Deutschlandquiz produziert habe.

In diesem Sinne wünsche ich allen schöne Weihnachten und einen spitzenmässigen Start in 2010!

NDR Deutschlandquiz Clip “Troja”

First screening in Germany

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 😀

Animationsfilm

Animation short “The wild fields” Bolzano

Yesterday the Bolzano ShortFilmFestival started in South Tyrol, Italy. My animation short film 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.

The wild fields and the warrior goes Copacabana

Now it’s official: The wild fields and the warrior will be screened in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) within the festival Sem Tabu – 4° Festival Internacional de Animação e Educação Sexual (formerly known as FIAE – Festival internacional de Animação Erótica, I posted about the invitation earlier).

The festival is taking place from November 10-12 in the Oi Futuro Ipanema Theater. If somebody happens to be there, take the time to have a look.
