Lost in Iceland?

That you could think if my blog ends up so dramatically with a crashed fan belt, but no. We made it even back home in good condition and everybody survived. The last weeks were amazing and there was a lot to film and to fly over fantastic places.

Filming in Jokullsarlon

We got some interviews with the manager of the Museum for Islandic Sourcery and Witchcraft Siguður Atlason about Trolls and with the representative of the INCA (Island Nature Conservation Association) Árni Finnson about the downside of reneweable energy in Iceland.

Unfortunatly we weren´t able to get somebody from the industry in front of our camera, so we have to look for another specialist of the geothermal energy topic here in europe now.

So for now I start the editing on the norway project which is waiting and then we present the results of iceland footage. Meanwhile I can link you some impressions on flickr for photographies here and keep on reading my Blog. ;)

Holá Quadrinchen!

After four months of rumbling and tumbling it´s close to the final step. We are going in the air with our multicopter under the name Outside Onsite. Additionally we offer conventional camerawork and underwater camera as well to make our films very unique.
In february we were in spain and test our Quadrinchen which actually now is a Hexacopter and is shown on facebook and our website with six propellers. The results of shooting in the windiest regions of spain can see in the video below!

End of the Years Results

So here we are on the egde of doomsday and the final revilation of John and I will just make a quick note about the last announcements on my youtube channel and current status. First I want to mention a book written by Alexander Altmann (Blog click here). It´s a german book so sorry for the foreign audience we have to exclude you. It´s about filming with DSLR and it´s quite detailed in the content of shooting with DSLR. Alexander wrote about preproduction, production and postproduction of his movie "The Green Fairy" ( Die Grüne Fee) which is still in the process of scoring. We still looking forward to see the clip in the internet soon. The reason why I mention this book is of course the little selffish motivation of being mentioned and quoted in some chapters of his book. My little advices and helping hand in his project, which you can find here, makes me little smile that I am now mentioned in a book, thank you alexander. ;) You can find it on Amazon by clicking the picture below.

The second thing I want to mention is the new perspective which I discover in the upcoming year. It´s about working with Remote Controled Multirotors to get some areal shots or even some crane-like shots from above. Together with Josefin Kuschela, the new years project will involve multirotors, underwater cameras and of course conventional cameras. So enjoy the teaser for next years project "Evolutraceurs"which includes parcour action and areal shots!

To the Sun & the Moon - a Super8 Film

For the first time I had an experience in filming with super 8 material during my trip from Vancouver, Canada to South Dakota, USA. One of the reasons for this trip was to fullfill my selfpromis to my deceased Dad, in which I continued the procedure of spreading a little piece of ashes to the favourite place of the deceased one. He did it for my mom as she died in October 2000 and after his death in 2008 I felt that I had to do the same thing for him. At this time he was quite enthusiastic about the history of the indians in north america. But unfortunatly his health and his enormous fear of flying prevented him from getting to this places like the battlefield of Little Bighorn or the holy place of the Black Mountains with the Crazy Horse Memorial.
So as the opportunity appeared to me and my girlfriend, who is currently studying abroad in Canada, we drove all the way from Vancouver via Little Bighorn to the Black Hills.
As a result, here you can see that though all the years, 8mm films have still the talent to change a trip that actually took place in 2012 into a 1970´s look. . Have fun!

Rooftop again! - Martin Johanus + The SpeedDates Musicvideo

So here we are again shooting on my roof with crane and three DSLRs a musicvideo vor Martin Johanus + The SpeedDates. In fact there was two songs so it´ll be two musicvideos. Directed by Josefin Kuschela, she´s also directed the previos musicvideo "Alpha Girl" for the band and now she was supported by Alexander Altmann and me in doing this life music video.
We are looking forward for results!

Results turning up...

Last year I shot for KOBN in the O2 Arena Berlin ( Blogentry: shooting at fresh air ) and now I found the video on the Boschsite. So, this is one of the films I am participate as Cameraman and Editor and the client was KOBN. The Agency produced this clip for Bosch, so I am glad to show this video, because it shows some results in what kind of activity I´m spending my time with. So here is a sample, but be aware that this clip is an imagefilm and it´s very technical orientated... So no Popcorn.
