Experiment Module Storyboard

Joël Kuhn and I are going to built up a miniature set again. We’r going to try to put a person in the set with bluescreen. To imagine how the miniature set will going to look like, I draw a storyboard:

Greenbank Hospital /Hasselblad Medium Format

I went again to the Hospital two times with the hasselblad. The first time after taking five photos something went wrong with the camera and it didn’t expose anymore. But finally I could shoot my two films on another day. In these photos are the ones for the final series. I’m not sure which ones.

Greenbank Hospital

This morning I went to a rather spooky place in Plymouth. It used to be a hospital and is now a total neglected building. I went inside but it was too dark and my film wasn’t sensitive enough and unfortunately didn’t have a tripod. I was glad enough to go out of this building. I used a FP4 125 film with the Nikon F4. I will go again and shoot in Medium Format with a Hasselblad.

Photo Safari

To find my topic for the module “photographic narrative” I went out and shot some random photos. Actually I was looking for abandoned and derelict buildings but unfortunately just found  the old Dance Academy-Building at the Union Street, which is not accessible. On my walk I took some other pictures.

Vertigo Effect in a Miniature World

Joël Kuhn and I had the idea to try out the vertigo-effect. We built up a miniature set of the scene in the first movie of Lord of the Rings, where they used this effect. We built up and shot the set in the studio. Additionally to the vertigo we took some other shots to create a short video.
I used the first time the programm “Apple Color” for  color correction and giving the film the last tweak in postproduction.

trashartonsunday

Philipp Condrau and I had the idea to make a short stopmotion video every sunday.
One of us starts with a stroke. The other one carries on and so on and so forth. None uf us knows how it will look like in the end.
We already did these kind of cartoons some years ago but not as a stop-motion video:

Here are some examples:

Here is the first episode 18.10.09:

Analog Photography (Pentax K1000)

I went out with Joël Kuhn to shoot some random experimental photos. We just wanted to exercise with the processes of taking photos, developing the film and enlarging or scanning.

Pod’Ring Film with English Subtitles

Making of “Pod’Ring”

During the summer holidays Joël Kuhn, Simon Maurer, Tobias Jehle and I made an Event-Film about a cultural festival in the middle of Biel (Switzerland), called Pod’Ring. After one week of filming we had 27 hours of footage, which we cut down to 13 minutes.

The film aims to mediate the unique athmosphere of this festival while exploring the background of the different departments such as organisation and structure. It also contains several impressions of the environment, concerts and the audience.
