Moods
As the owner of "The Art of Brave" by Disney * Pixar I got inspired by the beautiful pencil drawings by Steve Pilcher. So I decided to practice my pencil skills. The outcome is a beginning. I still have to do more learning, practicing and practicing and learning. And I cheated with Photoshop to create more depth :p

Logo-Time
A friend asked me to make a logo for the day-care-center she works in. A few things were predetermined, such as the cross and 3 little birds. I also had a picture of the bird, which I adapted and improved. The final and approved one is above, accompanied by some earlier variations.

The Zoo
Last weekend I went to the Zoo with my family. It was the first time for my little niece. Poor girl suffered a bit from stimulus satiation... Whereas I had my sketchbook with me and suffered from lazyness. At least it resulted in one useful page ;-P

Crazy competition!
Yesterday I had one of the most crazy experiences of my life: the 24 hours film racing. Here's the thing:
Saturday morning, at 4am we recieved the theme, a prop and an action that were to include in the movie. It was allowed to use existing characters, so we prepared by drawing characters and consider a rough animation style or after effects animation with layer puppets. You'll see some works below.
Of course we used none of the existing characters.
Of course we developed a complete new style and story.
Of course the set we chose was a cinema full of characters.
21 characters, I believe.
24 hours for the film.
3 to 4 hours after the plot was decided.
3 hours before the deadline the animation was done and the last scenes were rendering in After Effects.
3:30 am the whole thing was successfully uploaded.
A group of 10 (in the beginning 11) people are still startled that the wohle thing worked out and we are all very proud and love our little "baby".
And we are the only group from Germany. The rest of the competitors are from the USA, Canada and a few Britains.
It's amazing how fullfilling animation is to me. Thank you for the opportunity, my dear comrades!
Unfortunately I cannot show the 1:15 minutes movie yet, because of the competition.
In the meantime you'll have to work with more drawings ;-)
This last one is a poster for a friend in my hometown. He is a pool attendant and asked me to design and illustrate a poster for a unicef - donation campaign. It was done in Photoshop. I enjoyed the work very much and I hope all you people from Usingen and the Taunus go there on the 26th may and make lots of donations!

Soon we will be together again
The original is less colorful, fitting the feeling of longing for your love. But the mobile phone app makes everything nice and shiny ;-) Emphasizing the pleasant anticipation :-D

Portfolio Cover
I had the idea making a small portfolio, representing all the students and the movies we made. It was available at the premiere. Everyone liked it <3
The idea came when we all were looking for a design for the cards that were sent to all the guests. I had a design, deriving from Mucha's four seasons, since our four movies kind of represented a season.
The character designs from the right side to the left are done by myself, Felix Zehender, Eiti and Regina Haselhorst.

work-collection
The end is near... only three weeks until our movies have to be ready for cinema!
There will be a small booklet containing short movie descriptions and portfolio work.
First I wanted to keep my pages simple and clean and only use very few images.
Yeaah, so here's what happened:

animation show reel
See my animation show reel on vimeo!
That's all I've got to say right now, 'cause I'm too busy working on our short films. Only 3 weeks left! Then I need someone to hire me :D
