Making a Pass at DiFi
Posted in Programming
While reading Sherry Turkle‘s “Life on Screen” I was fascinated by the chatterbot Julia she describes early in the book. I rose the challenge of coding a simple chatter bot myself in PureBasic, a language I am quite famliar with. For three days now I am working in a bricolage process on the code and its functions, (procedures in PureBasic), and it’s working – a little – but I am patient and add line by line to the code on a daily basis.

3dsmax & Brazil r/s: Gold Shader
Posted in CGI & Rendering, Tutorial
I am working on another project for BigBoy Productions and I needed a realistic gold texture with proper reflections but which doesn’t take eons to render. Years ago I was very close to photorealistic gold but unfortunately I forgot a big deal about it. After playing around for days I finally came up with a good solution which I will present you in this tutorial. -

Daisy Duck
Posted in Reports
I have much patience with a lot of people but now I think I’m gonna whack this person. Her name is Daisy Duck. Well, not really but Lisa and I call her that way, because last winter she often wore an orange pantihose on her very thin chicken-legs. Her favorite café is the Promenade. And she is crazy. -

Strangest Call
Posted in Funny?, Reports
I was just sitting here with Lisa, some minutes after 3 am explaining her Rebirth, while I got an internal call from the campus, room 533. “Hello, this is Radio [insert silly name here]! You are about to play for 10.000 €! Just answer the following question: How many grammies has Michael Jackson won?” -

♫ Lord of the Rats
Posted in Music, Rants, Seph Carissa / texx sound
My recent submission Lord of the Rats (listen below) for OverClocked Remix was rejected, I’ve worked on it for about five weeks. But I just sensed the rejection coming on the horizon but didn’t dare to look. -

Briefing
Posted in Reports, Video
Today’s briefing at Paul’s was shorter but took us longer. Before I sat to the others Paul and Oliver showed me proudly the first rough-cut of Wednesday’s shooting (no pun intended). It was only the footage from Oliver’s reel but looked better than I had thought. It looked like an alpha version of a strange Counterstrike: Source – addictive!

Counterstrike: Cobra
Posted in Reports, Video
Everything started about one week ago when I got a call from my old-time school colleague Paul Meschuh who desperately needed an additional camera operator for his documentary he was working on for two years now. I hesitated, but after a few day of thinking about it I called Paul back.

Why do I tend to take part in every silly online test I happen to stumble across? I don’t know – but these are my results for the Dork/Geek/Nerd-Test:
