Designing a Space in 3D (Task)
For the 3D animation „Titanic’s Victims – Echoes from the Sea Floor“ I imagined a remote-controlled submarine with a spotlight transmitting noisy video & spooky sounds from the ancient sunken passenger ship. Download the original video file for better (noise) quality! This is my first Blender project, so I had to learn a few things,…

Pixilation Task Revisited

Pixilation Task
For the pixilation „Accordilation – Accordion in Pixilation“ I videotaped myself playing accordion, grabbed four frames per second, added a title, applied a charcoal filter and merged the frames to video again.

The course instructors curate…

Flip Book Task
My submission for the online course Explore Animation. I used GIMP to stitch together the individual pictures, reduce the number of colours and resize the final GIF animation: Thomas and Johnston’s twelve principles of animation are illustrated well by this video and also in these animations. The course instructors curate flipbooks in this playlist.

Aller guten Dinge sind drei
Gehe heute (Mo, 19. Oktober 2015) spontan an die Frischlingsparade im Casinotheater. Wer kommt mit? Werde um 19:30 Uhr an der Abendkasse lösen.
