THE CRASH REEL

I just watched the dramatic story of the life-changing accident of US snowboarder Kevin Pearce back in 2009. The documentary provides deep insight into Kevin's long and challenging recovery from his serious T.B.I. as well as his life after the crash.
We all know that fun comes with a lot of risk but hardly ever realise how bad a single wrong turn can go. This film exposes quite bluntly exactly this one moment where things go wrong and how drastically the consequences are. To me, watching it was really intense since I'm somehow able to relate to being out there in sometimes quite dangerous situations in which you usually just tell yourself that nothing bad is going to happen.

Even if you're not a snowboarder or sports addict at all, take the time to watch this inspiring documentary about fragility of life, hope, disillusion and simple, plain happiness.

Tim Boal with BMW X5 in Biarritz

I try to think of this spot as a non-commercial short film since the combination of the shots and the voice-over put me into a calm, unhurried mood - however, try ignoring the parts involving the BMW. Put aside the fact that this is a car commercial basically telling you that surfing gets better with a BMW X5 (ha ha), for me, it all merges nicely together into a single piece of great visual storytelling.

ADBNE 2013 Opening Titles

Amazing opening titles for the ADBNE 2013 in Australia by Studio Breeder. Also make sure to check out the making-of, to see that it doesn't always have to be hardcore CG trickery to get outstanding visuals. What a beauty!

CONTRADICTION

Moving short film about life, the choices you get to make and the ones that are thrown at you. Great storytelling supported by solid imagery. Enjoy.

CONTRADICTION from BWGTBLD on Vimeo.

They say that the good things in life are free and that everything happens for a reason. A man once said life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it (Charles R. Swindol). So what would you do, if you can have the whole world, but your insecurities hold you back just because you believe in other people's opinions?
Would you give up?
What would you do, if you found the love of your life and a sudden unexpected occurrence changes everything in a fraction of a second?
Would you love no more?
Some experiences might be hurtful and harsh.
But life can be so beautiful.
Its your choice to either run from or run towards it.
Cause you are what life chooses!

Massive Flickr Update

my photostream on Flickr.

Yesterday I took the time to upload almost 500 shots to my Flickr photostream. It's been a while since I last uploaded photographs but now there should be far enough pictures for you to look at. Pictures reflecting what I've been up to throughout the last months and years. I appreciate my life every day and keep on trying to capture as many precious and fun moments as possible. Have a look and enjoy..

(PS. I've not found the time to geo-tag and label all of them properly, so check back soon for more in-depth info)
