“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!

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.

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…

BleepCast – Level 5
Posted in BleepCast, Films, Games, Retro, Seph Carissa / texx sound
The BleepCast inspects covers, remixes and de-makes of our favorite tunes in the last 30 years in this level and asks how everything started, how it evolved and where it all went. This is a broad topic and so there’s no screwing around: This BleepCast hits you massively with 50 minutes of pure nerdsound, spoken and played alike. And the best of all: You’ll love it! I’m happy, Bob! -

FMX ’10, Day Two
Posted in CGI & Rendering, Compositing, Films, Lectures, Quotes, Reports, Technology
On the second day we all got late to the first lecture and missed “The VFX of Iron Man” and instead enjoyed the breakfast at our value-priced hotel whose every room was kept in shape for the whole place looked like a museum of 1970′s rustic dwelling. Mrs. Zheng apologized for not having boiled eggs and I downed every bit of orange juice that was left on the buffet because I almost died of thirst the night before. Mrs. Zheng didn’t like seeing me drinking eagerly directly out of the jar but left it at a sullen glance this time. Then we drove off to the Haus der Wirtschaft once again. -

I awoke after a terrible night of too little sleep (thank you, insane entertainment-industry sleep-cycle!) and was greeted suspiciously by Mrs. Zheng, the hotel manager, on my way to the hotel’s breakfast premises where the ongoing conversations ebbed as I entered. Too much eyeliner, I thought. But I had other things on my mind. In fact, I was so excited that I ran a red light on my way to the conference.

7:30 am and somebody walks downstairs. Good morning to me. My program for today was mostly about tracking and motion capturing and heavy duty compositing. You might have guessed: It was the day of Benjamin Button.
