Thanks again I feel very honored.
Up in Smoke Festival
For the second time the up in smoke festival attracted tons of people from all over europe to listen to some heavy music in the Z7, Pratteln. A lot of very high rated rock bands like Fu Manchu, Kadavar or Blues Pills did the honors.
Together with the Dynamic Frame folks we covered the whole festival and produced the recap clip. Enjoy
connect.zone Commercial
This clip was produced for an app called "connect.zone". Valentin Brotbek and I created all the animations and Dynamic Frame did the shooting of the scenes.

First Love - ein Erklärungsversuch
It's a wrap! "First Love - an attempt of an explanation" is the result of my second bachelor year.
The planing of the film probably took about half a year including the writing of the script. Thanks again to everyone that was involved and made the film even possible!
The film is going to get screened at several festivals before it'll find its way into the web.
