Episode
This production was a group project that I participated in as part of my studies at Hochschule RheinMain. The story of kill_house is inspired by a story by Christof Dambeck, who was also the leader of the production team. My responsibilities included operating the main camera and assisting with the editing process. I was also in charge of creating all the VFX effects, including the intro and outro animations.

the Project
After someone in my family experienced a stroke, I set a goal for myself to create an animated explainer video about strokes that is shorter than 3 minutes. The video will cover what a stroke is, how to recognize the signs of a stroke, and what steps can be taken to prevent one from happening.
Video
After thoroughly researching the topic, I distilled all the information down to the essentials and simplified it to make it easily understandable. Using this information, I wrote a script for a voice-over artist and a storybook. The illustrations were created using Adobe Illustrator, then animated and combined with the voice-over in Adobe After Effects.

On Hold
As part of my Erasmus semester in Zagreb, Croatia, I was assigned to come up with a web series idea and film a concept in less than one week. I came up with „On Hold,“ which is about a young man who’s dealing with depression and discovers he can pause time. The show follows how this new ability affects his life and changes him for the better.

SchlossFestival
Im Rahmen des 300-jährigen Jubiläums des Bruchsaler Schlosses veranstaltete die Stadt ein Festival mit einer Vielzahl von Künstlern aus den Bereichen Klassik, Jazz, Rock und Techno. Im Laufe von 12 Tagen betreute ich das Festival als Hauptfotograf und lieferte Fotos und Videomaterial von der Veranstaltung an die wichtigsten Nachrichtenagenturen und zur Verwendung in Pressemitteilungen der Stadt und der Künstler.















Capturing
the Action
With two separate stages, a backstage area, and a VIP lounge, it was crucial to be in the right place at the right time. As the main photographer, I had the opportunity to take photographs of some of the most prominent acts of the festival, including Marc Martel, Gregory Porter, Alex Christensen, and Curtis Stigers.

To showcase their work and company to potential clients, I created an visually appealing animated image video for them to use in conventions and presentations. The video was also played at Expo 2020 in Dubai, at the Baden-Württemberg house, to attract potential customers.

ticker.
ticker. is a cutting-edge web studio production concept aimed at informing young people about critical issues.
The pilot episode focuses on „Article 13“ of the European Union and examines the various impacts it has on the creative industry.
to stand out
I was responsible for the visual design of the show. After presenting several options and directions, the team decided to adopt a glitch aesthetic approach. I then refined this aesthetic and incorporated it into all the animations used throughout the show.
The logo for the show was designed to be simple yet effective, with the name of the show prominently featured. To give it a unique touch, I incorporated a wifi-style detail on the „t“ to represent the web show aspect of the production. This subtle nod to the digital nature of the show helped to make the logo immediately recognizable and memorable.
The signet minimizes the logo to the letter ‚t‘ and is used as an overlay element as well as a logo for social media and other formats that require a simpler logo.
The glitch effect on the logo is achieved by separating it into its base colors (red, green, blue), shifting them and using a negative multiplication effect to create a white center. This technique adds a dynamic and modern feel to the logo, fitting the web show format of the production.
The backgrounds for the show were created using analog TV glitches and distortions similar to those found on a tube television, in order to create a stark contrast with the web-based format of the show.
Keying
Green screen keying is a technique used in video production to superimpose a subject onto a different background. The subject is filmed or photographed in front of a green screen, and the green background is then replaced with a different image or video in post-production. This can be used to create the illusion of a subject being in a different location or to add special effects to a scene.
In our case, we used this technique to create a humorous video about a man representing the Internet, who lives in the void and shares his perspective on the topic with the studio guest. I was responsible for the keying and animation of this clip, ensuring that the final product was seamless and visually appealing.
Graphics
To explain the concept of Article 13, I created a short explanatory video using animated illustrations. All animations were created using Adobe AfterEffects in conjunction with Adobe Illustrator. We also included a professional voice-over and precisely synced the animations to the audio cues.
Camera Man
As the primary cameraman for this small live web show, I was responsible for capturing all the action on set. I operated the camera, which had a teleprompter attached, and made sure to frame the shot and focus on the right subject to create visually stunning and engaging footage. I was able to respond quickly and smoothly to requests from the show’s director, moving between different camera angles and positions with ease, ensuring that the final product was polished and professional. My work behind the camera greatly contributed to the success of the show and the positive feedback it received from viewers.
