Tim is an entirely improvised short film by direct

Tim is an entirely improvised short film by director David V that was shot in the spring of 2020 when the first wave of Covid hit Europe and in a collective rush of stupidity toilet paper became scarce goods. What was initially intended to be nothing more then a quick camera test for our then newly purchased Sony PXW-FX9 quickly evolved into a tiny short of 7 minutes. Tied together by a wonderful score by David Rimsky-Korsakow the lose impressions shot entirely on and around the premises of our art department transformed into a poetic little contemplation of human nature. The film starring first time actor Aljoscha Schendel features the collective camerawork of DPs Manuel Schamberger, Lucas Fiederling, Anton Beliaev and Jacob Sauermilch. The costumes and props were designed by Oliver Arndt and David V, Moritz Monorfalvi did the sounddesign. The film was produced by Nils Werner, Lucas Rücker, Christina H. Lee and Associate Producer Maximilian Viktor. Maxim Schendel doubled his brother Aljoscha in the blue house scene.

Roundabout a year after we took our FX9 on her maiden flight, first results are due. What began as a camera test, quickly evolved into a little, entirely improvised shoot of 3 days.

The final product is a tiny six minute short, shot entirely on and around the premises of our art department. We are happy to share it with you this sunday!

While we keep very busy pre-producing our upcoming feature film, which will be announced shortly, we thought it‘d still be a good idea to stay in practice and keep swinging some cameras in the meantime! For those of you who didn’t know: Some of the commercial efforts of our company are focused on providing live streaming services. Here are some sneaky peeks behind the scenes of @streamofrock which will be featured in one of our upcoming friday features!

Today in our friday feature we introduce you to the work of Pavel Mozhar, an aspiring documentary filmmaker based here in Berlin.
In his current project ‚Vizitator‘ he and his DP Jonas Römmig equipped three inmates with a small camera each, in order to capture their daily lifes and routines in a Romanian prison. A process Pavel describes as „a story of rapprochement and remaining a stranger“.

Today we bring you a few impressions of one of our very own scenic painter @bigos8e working on a concept-model project we did in 2015 as a part of @david_lichtenauer s scifi epic ‚The Evolution of Machine‘: An antique entrance hall to an intergalactic university. The project has been shelved for about 2 years now due to a very limited budget. We are going to start work on it again next Spring.

The dinosaurs created for ‚Jurassic Park‘ are as mindblowingly real today as they were when they first hit the cinema screen in 1993. The practical creatures and animatronics created by @stanwinstonschool combined with the groundbreaking CGI work of ‚Industrial Light and Magic‘ changed the perception of what could be done in movies and transformed the industry forever.
