My Filmproduction & directing/DOP work.
AUDI "Designing the Rover"
Travel +run & gun +interview +highspeed = a lovely film about PTScience +Rover +Design +AUDI. The GoogleLunarXPrice challenge: Be the 1st rover on the moon.

OAKLEY "King of Greens"
Crazy xtreme sports athletes met for an unseen challenge in Wentworth & Windlesham (UK). Snowboarders, skiers, surfers, wingsuit-pilots, skaterboarders, ... from all over the world are going for gold @ golf! A battle between xtreme sports athletes and one of the most famous pro golfer Rafael Cabrera-Bello for the "beat RAFA batch". www.king-of-greens.com
BMW "Check my Machine"
This playful soundtrack was exclusively generated out of the noises recorded of the BMW 1 series car. After ping-pong of video & sounds + final
marriage, we got a kind of experimental visual-acoustic piece of art. Awarded with a LIA and Cannes price in silver and surprisingly showed up in a documentary about Bavaria
:)
SEA "Social Entrepreneurship"
The Social Entrepreneurship Academy is about "enabling people to shape a better world". Located close to universites, they support students to improve their first steps as social entrepreneurs. For us it was the goal to show the engagement of SEA through the perspective of actual and former members of the programme and kept it as close as possible to make their dedication visible.
Teaser MOOC MIGRATION
GESS needed some research-work on migration. Said & done.. we travelled to China, Mexico & along Europe to bring home all the informations needed.
Fastbreak editing, grading and music composing. Curious on following programs? Just click here:
MOOC USECASE #1 CHINA
After a long distance flight and quick stop for 5 impressive shooting days in and around Shanghai/China we were editing some additional extended moments together for the Massive Open Online Course. What does internal migration mean for the people in China?
MOOC USECASE #2 EUROPE
We heard a lot about the Syrian war and refugees who flee due to forced migration to Europe. We followed them to the borders and spoke with officials and refugees about their expectations and challenges. Who are these people and where are they from? What means forced migration to them?
MOOC USECASE #3 MEXICO
Mexico is a transit land where people from different origins often travel on "El Tren de la Muerte". A lot of crime and violence causes serious injuries or death. We
were travelling along the routes, spoke with the people and heard about "la bestia". Unfortunately, forced returns and deportations bring the people back to their origin countries. What is the
actual situation in Mexico and what does economic migration mean?
Social Design Teaser "Building Bridges"
We usually get inspired by meeting people and learning from different cultures. This being said we planned our Tour across Europe for Social Design! Social what?
We were visiting social entrepreneurs, startups and academic experts across Europe and collected their moments and thoughts in a documentary style.
The result was an online format where we can listen to passionate people for a better cause. Get inspired with some new perspectives on todays challenges!
Social Design Tour #1 "Daniel Kerber"
The first stop on our tour was with Daniel Kerber and Claudia Banz @ the "Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe" in Hamburg, where we spoke about design, todays challenges in life and what this social design is all about often seen in times of crisis and about borders and how we can overcome them. We just recorded everything in the moment without designing too much. We wanted it to be pure and intrinsic no matter what mistakes could happen. It is more about the content rather than the art.. so listen carefully. :)
Social Design Tour #2 "Eric Ohlson"
After going by ferry from Frederikshavn to Gothenburg which was our halt number 2 on this journey, we met one of the founders of "walter alter the wheelchair", Eric Ohlson. We were inspired by listening to Eric about the project and their challenges but also about just being humble and being thankful to live in a country like we do. Kind of "Imagine everyone in this world could contribute at least something to make this a better world" he said. Give him a chance and listen to him, it's worth it, promise!
Social Design Tour #3 "Pelle Ehn"
And then there was a very special moment with Pelle Ehn who is an expert on teaching students about "designing things". These talks were so overwhelming because he was able to tell us in a very easy, and kind of visual way, all about design and how design changed over time e.g. the Bauhaus or about the repetition in design thinking, and how to make a better next step in life!
From "the thing" or "das Ding" to the thing which means completely "everything". This was really a thing! But see for yourself!!
BULTHAUP “Solitaire”
"The circle combines with the triangle, the square and the rectangle to form a sculptural whole. Geometry and function fuse to create an iconic masterpiece." We shot beforehand a product film of "The Solitaire" and while the event in Milan an event film which was directly afterwards on the companies website.
SONY PROMO A7s "Feel the Power"
We travelled all around the countryside, bright light or deep darkness, you’ll capture photos and videos that match your vision. We were overwhelmed with the new possibilities, with which the SONY A7s came up with. Some fast editing later with some lovely grading on top and music underneath... the SONY A7s PROMO "Feel the Power" moment was born.
BENJAMIN STEIN "Replay"
"Als Ed Rosen in der Morgendämmerung erwacht und mit den Zehen wackelt, steht eines fest: der Huf, der am Fußende aus seinem Bett ragt, ist auf keinen Fall seiner. Aber da. Wie soll er sich das erklären?"
For us it was an exciting studio night "bis in die Puppen" and a few days later it was done. First the edit, then FX and last but not least the sound and beautiful grading on top.
THE STORIES "Rewind"
Everything started for us with a strong and passionate mission. A music video for "The Stories" needed to be told. So we pressed "Rewind" or better record and came up with this beautiful musicvideo and had a lot of fun and first magic steps! Thanks to all of you guys! You rock!!
HILTI “Apprenticeship”
Discover The Hilti Way. We followed Tobias, a HILTI apprentice, on his daily routines @ HILTI Kaufering. It was a pleasure for us to get access to all areas and have a look behind the scenes. We recorded a well fitting voice for Tobias, composed a lovely music, did some tweaks in color correction and edited everything nicely together. The result is a beautiful portrait of Tobias following the spirit of "The Hilti Way".
STORIES "Burden Commission"
As a big "Thank You" to family, friends & fans arose this beautiful music video about all the people we are always surrounded by. "The Burden Commission"... It was overwhelming when we saw the result for the very first time. This is real friendship and deep connections placed in one video. Friendship never ends! Let's stay in touch!!
HILTI Kaufering "Made in Germany"
The motto was "Made by Hilti - made in Germany!" so we looked what this "made in Germany" exactly was. 2 days in Kaufering we stepped into nearly all of their work to understand the most famous red powertool Hilti magic. A lot of talented people, intense production processes and lean workflows gave it a final touch. We felt the Hilti magic, and nicely wraped everything together in one corporate movie.
LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
What does it feel or look like when you stand in the "light at the end of the tunnel"? We thought this would be an intense and challenging project and yes it was! We shot this art installation in order to keep it - for the moment. So ... flashes, ... moving me ... and bits ... and pieces ... everything is turning. ... And this flashes, ... glare white! But have a look yourself!
