April 20th, 2008 - Impy's Island 2 Premiere in Hannover/Berlin
The movie "Impy's Island 2" (Urmel voll in Fahrt) premiered today in Hannover and Berlin. While the one in Hannover was mostly for the team and hundreds of kids, the one in Berlin was more of the official nature with press and stuff. However we got the director, producer and 2 of the actors/comedians who had lent their voices to the characters at least for a couple of minutes before they jetted off to Berlin.
Here are the only pictures I actually took :) :
A small review of the movie:
Well first of all let me state in all honesty that I actually like the movie. I think it's probably the best one I worked on so far. It's fast, entertaining has something for the kids (they seemed to have a lot of fun) and something for the older ones.
Visually the movie works the way it is, however I have to say that it's wasting a lot of potential. There are scenes that match any hollywood blockbuster feature film but a lot of them could and should have looked a lot better even under the excruciating circumstances they were created in. That said, I hope for the best at the box office but am quite confident that it will reach an audience.
April 18th, 2008 - "Guardians of Ga'Hoole" has been announced
I found this announcement at slashfilm.com concerning the new project I probably will be working on over at Animal Logic, Australia.
It is based on the 14-books-epic "Guardians of Ga'Hoole" and features a couple of owls in a "post-human" world facing a great evil.

Our german movie distributor "Constantin Film" put a pretty decent looking webpage for the movie "Impy's Island 2" (Urmel voll in Fahrt) online. Click here to view it.

Not even 24 hours before my flight to Sydney .. .
I'll probably head right from the aftershow-party to the airport.
March 28th, 2008 - "Impy's Island 2" (Urmel voll in Fahrt) Marketing
It's always a payoff to see your work in print. When I was out with some friends, they told me they had spotted this "3d" cardboard avertisement complete with several movie posters and little prints with (more or less) clever lines from the movie in a section of the multiplex. This is actually the second cinema I have seen this in so the marketing department actually seems to be doing their job quite nicely :)
March 15th, 2008 - "Urmel voll in Fahrt" (Impy's Island 2) Movie Poster
They sure took their time to get a Movie poster for Impy's Island 2 (Urmel voll in Fahrt) ready. But finally it is here. Certainly has quite popping colors that attract attention which is always a good thing considering how many colorless posters usually hang in the cinemas these days.
