3 of 8 football fan videos are rehashed now! Originally produced for financial sponsor Berliner Volksbank in 2007. The shooting was in a tent before the big match in front of the Olympic Stadium and most fans were obviously pretty tipsy and therefore didn’t had any problems in doing the job very well. The aim was to show the real and most truthful fans of Hertha BSC, one of Germans upcoming capital football clubs.
Because of all the great audio technologies all fans sang in tune and we only had to record suitable soundtracks. All in all it was real fun …

Production of 3 TV commercials with three Bavarian characters. Munich always announced itself for being so comfortable, “the city with a heart” and worldwide we remember instantly the famous Oktoberfest. If you never had the joy of rising your ‘mass’(the 1 litre/ 2.11 pint glass container for the beer) in one of the huge beer tents, than you are now and here able to see how Bavarian’s look like and how they talk.
Bavarian people are very nice and friendly people. Actually, if you start to know them a bit better, you find another fascinating side of them, a hefty grumpiness which they expose only when they get used to you or you stay longer in Munich than the duration of your Ski holidays or the overcome of the hangovers from the Oktoberfest. So, if you wanna reach the heart of the original native Bavarian citizen, you need to talk like them and you need to understand their unique language resp. dialect, called “bayrisch”.
The retail spots for Hoeffner are just trying this in creating three varieties of Bavarian characters. After I did the casting of 60 people we decided to take these three characters.
Say hello to Philipp, Claudia and Beate.
See the 1st TV ad with Claudia Steiger here as the juicy lassie, wondering why her friend never gets out of the kitchen anymore. At the end she wonders if she would get also a new kitchen, if she would stay in it more often:

The 2nd TV advert for Hoeffner. This time “Seppl” (a typical Bavarian name) is crying after his Maria, who can’t leave her bed, because it is soooooo comfortable. See Philipp Rothkopf as the heartbroken lover here:

This is the 3rd TV adverd for Hoeffner Moebel, with the story of a cleaning maid, which can’t clean on her own in the flat of “Schorsch”(another typical Bavarian first name), because since he got new furniture from Hoeffner, he decided to stay at home all the time. See Beate Kurecki in her role as the nagging maid service here:

Here you see a small collection of animations, motion designs and visual effects from 1992 to 2008.
Since 1999 I am using After Effects most of the time. Before I worked with Quantels software. There are frame-by-frame artists works which I postproduced, there are at 00.12-00.14 the laughing blond woman with a cigarette and obviously at 00.15-00.17 the Kellogg’s frog”snacks”. All other animations are done with illustrator as vector graphics. Format of this clip is 4by3

A Cornish Landmark on the way to a prosper 21. century
In 2006 Uta co-produced this corporate work for Kerrier District Council. The Council wanted a film in the style of a documentary presenting the local people and their ambitious ideas to get financial support from the Big Lottery Fund. The community idea was to rebuild derelict veteran tin mining areas into cultural landmarks of Cornwall.
This film as a part of the whole presentation of the ” Cornwalls Heartlands Project ” helped the Kerrier District Council in Cornwall to win £22.3million!

Based on a new computer generated train model all visual elements where transformed into a 3D animation model to animate the train. I received 3 scenes of that and my part was to find a thrilling music, find a style, compose it with some typo animations to some eye catching big screen presentation film for a trade show for trains and transportation.
