The intervals of postings getting longer and longer and I´m very sorry for that. Since the last post I was involved in some projects which are not that exciting that they could me hold me from posting. But maybe it´s just a little shift in my life that change from actual shooting to more editing work. In the end the results havn´t any publishing rights or still not worth posting it.
To mention is the monthly videopodcast of Aquera´s MRGN Show, which is a monthly talk for mostly IT/Programmers people. It´s held in Berlin from 9-10 a.m. and it´s on twitter or you can find it here.
The other project was an no-budget shortfilm which starts very promising but unfortunatly got stucked in the lack of production failures. It was a dream-surrealistic story in which I was involved as cameraman and I was using slow-motion to the context of create a spheric and illusional reality. Here some pics of the shooting:
In the end the shooting was quite funny, if you like to improvise on the same day with location and cast. I was expecting that these factors would be fixed by production begin, but unfortunately they weren´t. So in the end the director canceled the shooting and the project was put on hold until an unknown future. For me it was kind of disappointing to waste time for a lack of quality that couldn´t achieve any standard, not to mention a high standard, in the first place by missing organisation. But these kind of experiences will happen if you are in no-budged film, and especially in Berlin it happens quite often.
After a few months I was able to take the Raw-Material and edit some kind of trailer out of it. I used some aged-film-filter on it and produced some filmburn-effects for transitions, which to be honest, was simple done by filming with an dslr without lens, torchlight and colored foils.
