“I Want to Report a Murder”
Posted in Music, Video
Director and friend of the site Russel Rocheleau recently released his music video for the song “I Want To Report A Murder” by Otto Kinzel. The Song is from Otto Kinzel‘s 2011 full-length album “We Are All Doomed: The Zodiac Killer”. Why am I posting you this update? Because I can proudly say, that the Zodiac font featured was created by yours truly, four years ago.
So if you like the video and/or the music, be sure to give a thumbs up or leave a nice comment!

Street Fighter 2 & Not So Much Free Time
Posted in Games, Reports, Seph Carissa / texx sound
So I did it again, but this time with a different game: After ripping the music-instrument samples from F-Zero and creating a soundfont out of it, I attempted just the same with Street Fighter 2 for the Super Nintendo. If you’re looking for some technical insights in Capcom’s SNES music, wanna listen to some music or just the frickin’ download for the soundfont, you’ve come to the right place! -

F-Zero & Too Much Free Time
Posted in Games, Music, Reports, Retro
Today was National Day in Austria and I had some free time on my hands. That’s why I tried hard not to get some work done today. “I’ll be messing around with my Super Nintendo,” I told Conny. And she said “Alright. Have fun with it.” And I did. But in a totally unexpected way. Read on if you want to learn about F-Zero and a little about the making of its music… -

fmx ’11, Day Four
Posted in Animation, CGI & Rendering, Films, Lectures, Quotes, Reports, Technology
It’s terrible to say but I was somewhat glad this was the last day of fmx. There had been so much input, creatively, inspirationally and technically that my brains were running out of memory like my Maya scenes with MentalRay. And I didn’t get much sleep this night either and staggered like a zombie down to the breakfast, at least that’s what I think, it wasn’t quite there. Man, if I had feasted on brains I wouldn’t remember it. -

fmx ’11, Day Three
Posted in Animation, CGI & Rendering, Compositing, Films, Lectures, Quotes, Reports, Technology
The morning was worse than I had anticipated it, I don’t quite remember how I got to the venue today, I only remember that I didn’t even get tea for breakfast. The Haus der Wirtschaft was buzzing like a hive again and most of the bees hat been busy at the Echtzeit party that lasted roughly as long as my writing session for yesterday’s blog post. Even worse: Those people seemed much better rested. Life is unfair.

FMX ’11, Day Two
Posted in Animation, CGI & Rendering, Compositing, Computing, Films, Quotes, Reports, Technology
I got up after too little sleep and staggered down to the common room for a breakfast — any breakfast. As I was pushing the wrong buttons on the Chinese water cooker for my tea and dropping the butter three times in a row I overhead a conversation among a bunch of young people on a table. I heard “plug-ins” and “Cinema” and “Color Grading” and what not.

FMX ’11, Day One
Posted in CGI & Rendering, Compositing, Films, Lectures, Quotes, Reports, Technology
Today was more or less routine. In total I did not spend more than about fifteen days in my whole life in Stuttgart and many things feel so boringly familiar to me already: Breakfast in the common room of the hotel, packing my bag for the conference, parking in the Most Expensive Parking Garage, obtaining my ticket from the front desk. Still, there are a few things that have changed over the years…

Procrastination Art
Posted in Art
Wasn’t really in the mood for anything today, but at least I got some work done. And then, out of nowhere I fell in love with some new Photoshop brushes and spent a couple of hours listening to progressive metal really loud and use up the tip on my Wacom stylus. All I did was heavily inspired by David Mack’s incredible graphic novels Kabuki. And I am pleased with the outcome. I hope you like it was well…
