Our contribution to the 99Fire-Films-Award 2014 “Die bewegendste Geschichte schreibt das Leben”.

After the topic was communicated to us on January 23rd, 2014 at 10:00 am, we had 99 hours to produce a 99-second short film. Oh yes, the Internet also had to be mentioned, shown, illustrated. However, it had to be in there somehow.

By a true story. Enjoy.

Fish Flash

FISH FLSH

Fish from "fish & flash"
Flash from "fish & flash"

Fish Flash were found in a box, at the corner of an old attic room dominated by dust. On top of the box three words: “DO NOT OPEN!

After so many years in captivation, Fish Flash burst out into the real world. Since they had a fascination for movies, they decide to reenact their favourite scenes.

“I am a big Fish fan, he is the best!”
K. Buckley

This project started on a winter month in 2012. The idea was to bring to live to puppets using exclusively a Blue Screen. Personally I never had these kind of experience but I learned a lot by filming and then editing so I could understand the concepts. I believe in Learning by Doing.

These are some tests we worked on. 

I remember how much fun Marco and I had while setting up the most important part of the project, which is the studio Lighting and understanding how much effort one has to invest in order  to create something as simple as Fish Flash.

FRA Airport

How to "Waste" Time at FRA

When I have some time to “waste”, I love to “waste” it by doing something productive. What you witness here, is segment of me “wasting” my time at FRA AIRPORT.

There are moments in someone’s life where you take certain actions without noticing. In my case I needed to capture a scene so  others would see what I saw. Sometimes we witness a synchronicity of events where time and space run parallel to one another. They follow the same rhythm and project in front of your eyes, the most perfect combination of images in a single sequence. If you’re fast enough you can capture the event in 25 fps ( Frames per Second). I have to admit though, most of the time I’m not fast enough to out my device and capture this magical, perfect and beautiful moment in time Maybe I should work on my skills and become the faster.

FRA Frankfurt: the transit flight

I was on a return flight transfer from FRA (Frankfurt am Main Airport) to MXP (Milano Malpensa). While walking towards my Gate, I noticed a situation and, with thinking, I took my iPhone 5s and started recording in 16:9.

“It relaxes me every time I watch it.”

When I saw that beautiful airplane typography sticked on the parking airplane I new back then which mood I wanted to give to the video during the editing process. 

A lot of contrast to make all passengers as shadows and make what was happening outside of an airport the most important and beautiful thing. That’s where the real action happens not indoor.

While writing this post I’m listening to Pink FloydOn The Run” from the album “The Dark side of the Moon”  released 1973. This is the best example of synchronism. 

Stay Synchronised, Stay Always On The Hunt!
