BILLSTEDT-HORN IN FÜNF MINUTEN
Together with the Hamburg based agency Superurban we produced an image video about Hamburg’s “East End” Billstedt-Horn for their client at the district office Hamburg-Mitte. Very official. Some places reminded me of the WohnzimmerWM in 2006.

CANNES IN KANSK
In 2006 I visited the International Kansk Video Festival the first time. 2011 I traveled again to this inspiring gathering in the middle of Siberia. I asked Viktor Hoffmann to come with me for shooting a documentary about “cinema in russian province”. It took a while to start the editing of the great footage we collected there. We decided to create a series of works out of the material. A work in progress.

QUEEN ELIZABETH PRIZE - BRITISH EMBASSY
For the British Embassy Berlin I produced a video about the Germany launch event for the highly donated Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering. The guest list was quite impressive. UK’s deputy prime minister Nick Clegg gave a little introduction.

MONSIEUR HUBLOT - THE ICONIST
My freelance job for Axel Springer’s The Iconist led me to a Swiss watch factory in Geneva again. This time we haven’t focused on the production process but on the man behind the brand. Together with the journalist J. Philip Rathgen we met Jean-Claude Biver. At this moment he was the CEO of that company. Just four month later he resigned from the job.
For the first time I was hired as film maker and photographer. First the photos and the three chapters have been released seperately and exclusively for the 7th issue of the iPad-only magazine The Iconist. Later they were published as one film at Welt Online. Finally I added titles and credits for a vimeo release.

OFFENSIVE FRÜHE CHANCEN
Here you can see my first official job for the german government. I was asked by Ramboll to produce a little video about a support program to improve language in kindergarten. It is shown as opener video at more than 20 conferences in Germany and on the official website.

PRODUKTTESTER AKTION - SONY FACEBOOK
Since may 2011 together with Hendrik Löbbert and sometimes Klaus Neumann we are producing videos for Sony Germany and their “Produkttester-Aktion” on Facebook. And have a look for the other talents of our host Dominik Wirth alias Knixx.

NEVER ENOUGH TIME - THE ICONIST
I work as freelance video producer for Axel Springer’s Die Welt. So I was asked to make videos for their sub-project The Iconist. They say it’s the first iPad-only magazine in Germany, maybe in the world? In March 2011 the 4th issue was released which has included exclusively my five-part video report about the Swiss watch manufacturer Patek Philippe. Later the videos were published here also. Above you see a montage of the five parts.

DIE WELT DES GEORG BASELITZ
Since september 2009 I am working as a freelance video journalist for Die Welt. Beside the daily online news business I get more and more opportunities to produce videos in my own style.
The printed special edition for the 20th anniversary of the german reunion was designed by german painter Georg Baselitz. I have produced two videos accompanying this event. Later I merged them to one video.

FACE HUNTER - THE SUBJECT60 EXPERIMENT
I was invited by Yvan Rodic to document his five-cities-five-parties-trip in the course of The Subject60 Experiment presented by Volvo. The tour which was accompanied by swedish popstar Lykke Li started in Berlin (video above) and continued in London, Milan, Paris and Madrid. Maybe some of you know Yvan as the Face Hunter. It was fun to work with him!
