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!

Illusions (Part One)

This is the first of eight parts of a short film series called 'Illusions'. I very much enjoyed the visual concept as well as the mesmerising voice-over that just kinda sucks you in. Directed by Animal VFX.

FITC Amsterdam 2013 Titles rediscovered

About a month ago, the FITC Amsterdam 2013 Title were released, designed by the one and only GMUNK, produced and directed by dutch Onesize. I really liked the title design, but it was only a couple days ago that a friend told me that these titles we basically hand crafted, shot on camera and then treated in post-production, though they looked totally CG to me. This fact made the titles even more appealing and therefore I want to feature them up here and show you the making of.

Back-to-the-Camera Shot

Plot Point Productions decided to set up a great video taking sequences of different actors filming movies back. This creation “Back-to-the-Camera Shot” is just great, to remember these beautiful plans present in films like Fight Club, Star Wars or Black Swan.

And I totally love the score / Moby - God moving over the Face of the Waters

Single Shot

Rad trailer! Definitely looking forward to this one..

Bjørnøya teaser

My buddy Roman featured this on his blog today. This just makes me wanna get out there so bad!!

Amazingly crafted website featuring tons of VFX trickery in Ang Lee's Life of Pi, based on the novel by Yann Martel. Scroll down the page to see VFX shots come to life.

Without all of those people working in the same industry as I do, none of this would be possible. So make sure to check out VFX Solidarity International to learn about the current crisis in this sector.

Lincoln - The Spark (Director's Cut)

Actually, it's a pity that this excellent short by director Christopher Hewitt is a commercial. I love his work and this one's not breaking ranks. A composition of great, manifold shots combined to a single, harmonic piece.

Blue Line

The former pro skater Brian Lotti,just made this amazing concept video. The film is a ode to skateboard, filmed in the streets of San Pedro, California, and will make you want to go skate, NOW!

Kilian Martin: Altered Route (a Skate Film)

Great skate short by Brett Novak starring Killian Martin.

All Alone in the Night

Since I'm currently contributing to some exciting project called The Blue Guardians, I came across this time-lapse footage of the earth as seen from space station ISS while doing some research. It's so stunning how amazingly beautiful our planet is, can't believe there's people out there not giving a shit about protecting it..

More on The Blue Guardians later but here's a sneak peek of what I'm currently working on..

Lisbon

Short recap of my trip to Lisbon in summer 2011 with my girlfriend Hanna.

All shot on a Canon 60D / Sigma 30mm F1.4 Prime / partly with LCW Fader ND mark II. This was the first time filming with a DSLR for me. Quite fun..

KTM 350 Freeride

Chris Malloy Natural High

Found this super nice short documentary about pro surfer/filmmaker Chris Malloy in my like subscriptions box on vimeo via my buddy raw. check it out, it's absorbing..

Intentio - Trailer

beautiful trailer, curious about the flick..

Art of Flight | Movie Trailer

I've been waiting so hard for the first images of Art of Flight done by Brain Farm, makers of That's It, That's All. It's been announced as the reinvention of snowboarding movies, using state-of-the-art filming technology and bringing the masses a snowboarding adventure of epic proportions. Featuring Travis Rice, John Jackson, Mark Landvik, Scotty Lago, Jake Blauvelt, Nicolas Müller, Gigi Rüf, DCP and Pat Moore, Art of Flight has been shot on location in Jackson Hole, Alaska, Chile, Aspen, Patagonia, British Columbia, Austria and many more. If the movie can keep up to the trailer, it's going to be an epic flick for sure! Absorb it now..

Framed

yet another sweet bike flick trailer - Framed by Felix Urbauer. good work, definitely worth checking out his other projects as well..

Life Cycles Trailer

my friend Roman pointed me to this official trailer of Life Cycles - another obviously brilliant bike movie on similar lines as The Collevtive Films. if the trailer lives up to its promise, this flick is going to be thumping. i love the variation in shots, ranging from totally sick tricks to absolutely breathtaking scenery. dolly rides and slow-mo's are by far nothing uncommon in this genre but i think it depends a lot how well it's being executed, yet this trailer sets a damn good example. can't wait to see the movie..
