Extra Large Ultraviolet Ray Projector (Impossible)

Finally, this fact can be taken for granted: To build an extra large ultra violet ray projector is quite impossible. Not only would it be against all known laws of physics and common sense, also international weapon regulations forbid it. Therefore, we can only muse about it, letting our minds drift and wonder what if. Meanwhile, somewhere else...


This short animation movie is the result of an assignement by Frank Engeman. We were given three soundfiles around which we are to construct some animation. The weapon of choice is Adobe After Effects. Apart from the given sounds, I used samples from some rare trashy movies and comics found on a fleamarket in Enschede. The latter were scanned, seperated into layers and or parts, placed in the fake-3D of AE and animated. Additionally, I used a virtual camera and different lights. After finishing the individual scenes and rendering them, I assembled the whole thing in FCP. The typeface used is Birch, which comes with some Adobe products. For the aged look I used a free Final Cut plugin. I know, the grainy stuff is a bit to much, but it is un-turn-off-able. Behold! The guinea Pig is immortal!

This is an update to this post.

It's simple! It's easy! It's neat! The boys like it and the girls think it's the hippest thing! The only thing you need is this little brochure (also available as a .pdf), an excerpt from Haiko Günther's newest release on penguin press. Take a look inside!

Colour in Black and White

Wouter forced us to take 36 black and white photographs here with the aim of catching colour and space. Additionally, they should actually be only one. I used my trusty cellphone camera.

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

...a lot can happen. And it actually does. Only, most of the time, you miss most of it. And, most of the time, it's better to miss all the crap happening somewhere else. So, here comes the most obsolete shortfilm ever. It shows you all the stuff you don't need to see. Like real TV or movies do, indeed.

This, of course is only a teaser, since the masterpiece is not finished yet. But I am working hard on it. The main ingredients of this work are: Comics found on a fleamarket in Enschede, Audiosamples given to us by Frank Engeman, whose opdracht started this timeconsuming obsession, Audiosnippets from really bad B-movies, a scanner, a graphic tablet, Photoshop, After Effects and Final Cut (Fainel Kütt).

All hail Magyar!

After quite some time I finally included the glorious hungarian letters U+0150/51 and U+0170/71 into my infamous font Rex Mundi. Now, every true magyar can use them to write his uproarious and completely cryptic poetics, using a typeface highly suited for anything. Now, every budapestian can put up a neon signs saying 'szexbolt' in one of the best sets of letters ever made. Even in true small caps. Or bold, if you like.
This typeface got 'minden', in case you speak hungarian. Magyar galore!
