The Congress Trailer

This film is what I worked on for the better part of last year as Senior Animator. Director Ari Folman is a genius and Super Animation Supervisor Yoni Goodman was a pleasure to work with. My studio bitteschön.tv was the smallest studio involved in this international production but a lot of our scenes got into the trailer. I am very proud of our work and super excited to see this film!

More HongKong

Going trough my sketchbooks that I filled in Asia I realized that only in HongKong I did these tiny framed drawings. Must have something to do with the way the city is build, compact, dense and crowded. Funny thing is, this design decision I must have made totally unconciously. At least I don’t remember thinking: “Ah, Hongkong is so dense, let’s make little frames in my little sketchbook to make it even more so.” As if the scarcity of room in HongKong made me think, I’d better not waste any space on my paper.

Internet love

Alex — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:54:05 +0000

I really like to read the comments of the videos I made on youtube or vimeo. Its really a passtime for me. I thrive on the positive and the negative motivate me somehow in a way where “Eye of the tiger” plays in the background and I start beating on frozen cow corpses. One dude on youtube had this to say about an animation that was dear to me:

…There are people out there that publish bullshit videos just to piss viewers off, and to those people I say: “Fuck you, your work sucks…”

…it is nothing more than a steaming pile of horseshit by a wannabe fan of the Adult Swim company. Because I seriously doubt that Adult Swim would publicly advertise nudity, even in their commercials…

I take his criticism to heart and try to make better artwork in the future. To find some advice on how to become a better artist, I clicked on the commentator’s profile and found this diamond of a video (it has 31 hits as of now!).

He really is a natural talent of entertainment and on top that a jedi of the game of MINECRAFT. It is wonderful. I think this is what is so great about the internet. I never would have found this astonishing example of mammalian life without the internet, never would have read his honest criticism, never would have seen his beautyful face or could have listened to his beautyful voice. Mr Oppenheimer, thank you for making the internet and all the people in it. I feel so blessed every day.
