Hammer to Fall - Corronez and Ole Mikumi record a Queen Song

This week I was busy with an old friend of my in recording her voice for a demo CD. Normaly Corronez, that´s her artist name, doing in the middleage scene her perfomances and songs, but she´s also a great Queen Fan. So we record our special version of "Hammer to Fall" and I took the camera and made this little making of video. Normaly I use the sound setting for dubbing but it´s amazing what you can afford by using todays technology. 15 years ago I remember me sitting in the cellar with the band and we actually tape our self over and over until we got some of these noisy sounded tapes... Incredible what we can do today with just a mic and software. So here we are, I am introducing my third art, next to Film, Photography its the Music.

We are looking forward for results!

TYPO Berlin 2011 - Impression Clip and what´s next?

So, here it is, the traditional closing film for europes biggest design conference TYPO Berlin 2011. I am doing filming for the TYPO since 2002 and it´s alway an interesting challenge to find a new way to shot this conference... This time I was simply inspirated by the topic "shift" to do some work with tilt-shift lenses and continue the way of the up-and-coming way of "mini-toyland-look" that´s done by every agency and TV-Station by now... I would normally say that by now, these effect is overloaded and the people got fed with it, but the reaction was quite good so I was good with it..

But beside this 5 minutes clip I provide the TYPO with a video podcast which you can see on the TYPO Berlin Videoblog site if you like, just click on "shift".

In the next few month I spend time in inscenical photography work with bondage, sailormoon action and of course I sit in the edit for KOBN. Results will be showing on this blog... Let´s start the summer!

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.

Bon! - quel surprise...

This day was an awesome steadycam-job with 5 other operators in berlin esplanade hotel. Upfront I had no idea what we are really shooting, it was some kinda of "45 seconds, 20 peoples faces and all french"... well... after all it was a company movie of AS24 that supported by concept-audio and it was quite funny...

Me, the french chef de palteau,  operator kevin (behind the camera) and the steadycams..

Four days of Beach, Guns & Music - Shooting of Spieltrieb´s Musicvideos in Meck-Pom

Saturday, the 21th, We start shooting the Musicvideos for the german songwriterduo "Spieltrieb" on the beach at Darß/westbeach. Suspiciously observed by holiday-maker we shoot the start sequences for the song "Marlborough Hair". We had a lot of fun and it´s quite a big deal to shoot with digital SLR, which give us the opportunity to get an enormous hollywood look!





On Sunday, we moved upcountry to a farm of two wonderful people which invited us spontaneously. Great thanks to Sophie & René and not forgot to mention, Xena, for that big deal to shoot the Song "Ich war mal Cowboy" (One upon a time I was a cowboy) on your very beautiful place!







With a schedule on a nightshoot we spent less time than expected and the normal "Murphy-problems" keeps within a limit!




At last we finished on a cloudy monday with a good feeling of getting some great shots onto the hardrive, I guess thats the right term in this digital business, and I hopefully get it edit and composed until november to premiere the musicvideos in Potsdam! Thank you all it was a pleasure to meet and work with you! Yeeehaaa!

In twelve hours from now we are heading for Darß/Ostsee to shoot the musicvideos for Spieltrieb, a german singer songwriter duo! Packed full of equipment, props and outdoor survival things, my cameraman , my prod-assistant and me hope to shoot a very smooth video this weekend!
