//so
what's the news for next year? Future comes creeping, slowly, suddenly you're in it and you didn't even know... Every year there's more wires hanging from my desk, more electronics dictating my life, more miles to travel. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to complain. I just wonder where we're heading to. Isn't that what a post on new years eve is supposed to do?
So, for all of you thinking in somehow the same ways, have an interesting and exciting next year. For everyone else, have a good one.

Things i look forward to:

getting to my internship in a country far, far away.//

finishing "nah_sein"/"closer" as it should be// and then,

focussing more on my machinima work.//

Having a wonderful time with the one i love, and the many who love each other.//

the new promising things technology has to offer.//

Things i fear:

getting to my internship in a country far, far away.//

the new promising things technology has to offer.//

the world becoming a more and more dangerous place.//


Have a nice one...

//finally
my application page reached V.9.
I hope this works and i get to go to england. I like england, really. Except the fact that it's bloody expensive up there.
Especially living in the London area.
And now imagine where most of the studios i apply to are situated...?
Happy new year, i say...

//I always
knew i'm not that gob smacking web designer and stuff.
But when i saw the work linked by miniml, i hardly wanted to touch a mouse again...

Yes yes, keep focused they say. But focus on what?
There's just too many things wanting to be expressed. And, yes, if i ever have kids, i will force them violently to learn how to draw and paint...

So you still have to cope with my semi-professional jack-of-all-trades work for some more time.
Let's see what we can do with that...

Besides,
have some rest and relax, be good to each other. It's about time by now.
Wish you all the best.

//what
you hear in german radio stations is quite hard to cope with these days.

First, they told you that they're the best, the one and only.

Sure, you have to cope with that somehow but you're used to it living in a pluralistic world order.

Then, they wanted you to believed that only this one particular radio station plays the best hits of the 70s, 80s and the SUPERhits of today. And they ALL claimed for SUPREMACY!!!

Ok, harder. Heavy breathing. But you still did your job, closed your eares when the jingles aired and tried to wipe away the tears and listen to the one good song they played every fifteen minutes or so.
And there were those nice little stories they told sometimes that made you laugh a little.

But now, they want to convince you that "you have the best taste in music" and "only we play it."
Hard enough, they do not intend to stop at this point. Seamlessly, without the slightest of pauses they go on like "guaranteed without ripping you off. 24 hours a day only on your hit music station!"

Boy, that's too much. And this is the short version. The thing is, that alone is not too hard, but mix it with the above mentioned, the compulsive jingle howling and take away the amusing stories.
Plus: some kind of hardcore-uber-techno-beat running in the so-called "background" all the time triggering your nerves at 160 bpm.

And that after every song.
No, not exactly after. It's more like in between because they may think you already know how it ends once it is half played.
There practically is not one millisecond of silence broadcasted.
They sure have a slogan like "silence is death!" or stuff like that.

Sometimes i wake up and scream, dreaming i was in the car driving and not able to tunr off the radio...

like these guys...

just a small one for today. Don't take it personal. Too much on my mind.

//when
those little worms come swirling all throughout your view,
like playing with each other in unseen happiness,

you know you've been up too long.

And i had thoughts considering this blog. Transform it into some kind of portal for myself?
Like having all the links i need in a nice and handy overview?

ah damn... i guess i have to start programming php... there seems no way around that.

//this
woman is simply said someone inspiring.
Someone you look at and feel like every bit of air is taken from your lungs, making you wonder if she is on this world for exactly this purpose.
but it has definetly something to do with the music she sings...

/////////////////////////////////
//have
you ever felt like someone came at night, when you were sleeping and hit you over and over again with a baseball racket?
Yes, hitting you several times like explicitly focusing on your stomach, back and legs.
And finally, ...the head. And this is how you look like one day after the incident:

One giant leap
/////////////////////////////////
//here
it is, the absolutely incredible "One giant leap" music video
"My culture"

THIS is tremendous!

lyrics.

/////////////////////////////////
//
was mich bewegt
mich durchdringt
öffnet und umschliesst
ist nicht anders als in der sprache die mein herz spricht
zu erleben wie es ist
mit anderen menschen zu sein
die zeit zu erfinden und
sie zu füllen

nur durch uns
unser lächeln
unsere warmen hände
unsere tiefen augen
unsere stimmen und worte

wir machen die welt.

jeder der dies verneint
hat noch nie
in eine seele geblickt.

danke allen die ich sehen durfte.

enough
/////////////////////////////////
//we
did it. With only small problems at the begining of the show, the kufife (short movie festival of our university) is done!
And the winners are:

first_ meeresrausch, a computer animation made by hdm students.

second_ der bildermacher, a short film without spoken dialogue from hamburg

third_ dangle, another short film without dialogue, made in cooperation with av-medien.

And i might add, it was wonderful but i'm really tired. See the results here.
Have a good sleep, whoever, whereever you are.

I was part of it!!
/////////////////////////////////
//take
a look at the gob-smacking videoGameAwards website here.
I did not know how big that event was until i saw the photos...
And, of course, if you're interested you can see my movies as trailers for "best driving game" and "best online game".
If you feel you want to write me something about that, you sure as hell should use the link to the left...

it is time now.
After 17hours of sleep with only one disturbing phone call making me feel sorry, i do not feel that much different now.
I guess seventeen hours is a little too much, even thoug you did not sleep for a while.
As you can see i changed the linklist to the left a little bit, taking into account that i do get to know a lot more fellow bloggers in the next few days, so a new column for the blogs.
And be sure to check janas brainblurred blog, although still under construction.
Wellwell, no post without a link. Where does it lead this time?
F U C K E R S
you will know why, when you visit..

And, yes yes, a story, a story!
After paying 46 Euros (that's foutysix in letters) for a courier delivering my signed contract for spikeTVs VideoGameAwards they tell me that they found my former contract i sent by mail....
Gnaaaaaaaa, that hurt.
The world has turned and left me here.... dadadida...

links this time
/////////////////////////////////
//found
this site and liked it, mainly because it's not perfect but lovely...andersdenkend
and, of course,designiskinky
some more to follow after reading more...

Ohhh, yes, the new GEE Mag seems to be out, did not read anything yet. But the first one was marvellous. Really awesome design and nice texting. Lllllllove it...

closer update
/////////////////////////////////
//sorry to tell this,
but "closer" will not be finished before end of february 2004.

We came to this decision regarding the loads of work still in front of us, with all sound editing to be done, an ambitous title design and another editing stage coming to steal our sleep.
And to do really all the best we can, it is necessary to have time for these things and not to wrap our brain around five things at once.

So, we are sorry for the delay, but feel this appropriate to make the movie what it should be.

And we know, you're never finished, you just stop working.
But we're not pleased yet.

Tuesday, December 09, 2003
/////////////////////////////////
//yeah,
i know i should work 24h by now but i'm tired. Really, nothings going right by now and things turn out to be a little overwhelming. Especially when people don't know you're about to burst and laugh and get loud on things not even worth to talk about when you try to work and concentrate.
And especially (i get to like that word...) when you dislike certain persons getting loud and talking about really unnecessary stuff...

ok, so much to mooding out on that term. now something nice?

a picture, yes...

/////////////////////////////////
//Sven
Ellingen, one of my fellow students has a blog himself. And he gave me advice on my own design.
So... he earned one of my links to the left.

And furthermore, here's the link to his blog:

svenBlog

And yes, we've been to the recent poetry slam and it was boooooring...
So, expect more links tomorrow, maybe i'll upload the latest cutting_edge machinima/video game movies...
Or maybe not.

Let's see

/////////////////////////////////
//there's
people trying desperately to find something good in the work of students. And they do. And it hurts, really. Besides being half asleep, besides being not the "here's mister state of the art_DSIgner", besides whatever.
This is hard to handle. But i try. And i know you're with me.
Thanks.

i'll post my " (and i mean ") favorites " later on...maybe.

gettin' the link done
/////////////////////////////////

Everything's fine?

Sure boys, expect a nice little machinima movie straight out of my notebook comin' to ya in 21st January.
And do not ask me about it till then!
I mean that.

Besides, the status on "closer" is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION with major tweaks and twists being done and sound editing underway.
We HOPE to release it somewhere near christmas, but i cannot promise!
Maybe i post some new screens here for the impatient ones.

And be sure to check out the Aronofski movies, they ROCK!

new update: I'm tired. Extremely. Just put up my work
for screendesign and having a nice exhausting day in front of me...
I have a bad feeling about this.
...
Not exactly concerning my own work, but concerning the whole...
I really wonder if we have a somewhat nice looking
media night poster
this year. The last few ones were disguisting if you ask me.
But you don't, do you?
