Dear Diary...
I just started my very own shortfilm: "Forget-me-not". As you are always really interested in my work I'll let you know what I've done so far and keep you up to date! You know, when doing a shortfilm, it's all about the story. You don't know the story? Well, here it is:

An old storywriter falls into depression after his wife dies. The characters he created in his stories, which are interacting in reality, are trying to bring him back to life.The more the storywriter ignores his imaginary characters, the more invisible they get, until the old man finds one of his books. As soon as he starts remembering his characters, they get back their visibility. The old man realises that if the writes about his dead wife, she will life forever in his memories.


Sounds good, right? And as I have really good people collaborating with me, I think this will be a wonderful film!

Due to snow...

Dear Diary...
Due to weather conditions I was not able to fight my way through the snow into University to upload my Storyboard and my Animatic. Well, the problem wasn't 10cm of snow, the problem was more that University closed due to 10cm of snow. But know everything is alright and we survived the hard and horrible winter :-)
Christmas was very nice and having a barbeque on new years eve - let 2011 begin!
But now, on to business!

My first schedule idea was to design all the characters in my story. After the design and the look of the film is done, I wanted to do the Storyboard and the Animatic. Well, that schedule was the wrong. I have 2 good Animators collaborating with me on my film, Joe is doing some animation with the dragon and Gabriele animates the scene with the elves playing on the table. And to do the pre-production for their animation, Joe and Gabby have to know how the scene looks and how long their scene is going to be. My part as director than is not to do everything in the order how I think it is right, but to give everyone their task. I'm not the only one working on this project. Storyboard and Animatic are more important than the look of the characters.  I can design the characters while Joe and Gabby are planning their parts of the animation.
So here it is, the Storyboard, the design comes later:
