My music video for die ärzte is now open for online voting at the Bitfilm Festival!

The voting procedure is quite complicated, therefore I don't want to bother anyone with the instructions.

Just enjoy the video :)

Set Building for Kara

Susanna here. I just returned from the south of Germany where i worked as set building supervisor for Sinem Sakaoglu's Trailer for her upcoming stop motion feature film 'Kara'. I thought I'd share some pics of the nice sets we built. Altogether we were 4 modelmakers: Nina Milarch, Pablo Pinkus, Jörg Steegmüller and myself. We worked in Jörg's spacious workshop in Ruit near Stuttgart and built 4 large sets in about 2 months. You can imagine it was quite a ride, but good fun too. The sets were designed by Anne Hofmann. As I am not quite sure how many pics I am allowed to show... I guess its best to check out the production blog here.  I will post more pics soon.

  

Barbie- puppethead for a fundraising campaign

 She can now blink and move her eyes & eyebrows! I made this puppet head to support Kai Stänicke's fundraising campaign for making a stop motion animated short about gender issues. 

You can find out more about the project and support the campaign here.

These are his previous films Cold Star and It's consuming me.
