Cut-out from the making-of (total length 15:53 min.)
At the beginning of 2023, I had the pleasure of working with DOP and editor Steven Lüdtke to produce an about 15-minute making-of for the feature film „The Fox“ (German title: „Der Fuchs“).
„The Fox“ is the true story of Franz Streitberger, a motorcycle courier in the Austrian army, who is integrated into the Wehrmacht when Austria is annexed by the German Reich. At the beginning of World War II, the introverted young soldier finds a wounded fox cub, which he cares for as his own child and takes with him to occupied France. Through this strange friendship with the animal, his own past as an outcast mountain farmer’s son slowly catches up with him, from which he has been running away for most of his life.
The real Franz Streitberger, born in 1917, was the great-grandfather of director Adrian Goiginger. In the drama „The Fox“ he is played by Simon Morzé. During the Berlinale in February 2023, we had the opportunity to conduct extensive interviews with both of them in front of the camera about their touching feature film. We combined this material with various private photos and original scenes from the film and accompanied them with the wonderful film music by Arash Safaian. For our making-of, we were also able to use behind-the-scenes footage that was shot during the first days of filming in spring 2021.

Cut-out aus dem Making-of (Gesamtlänge 15:53 min.)
Anfang 2023 durfte ich zusammen mit DOP und Editor Steven Lüdtke ein etwa 15-minütiges Making-of zum Kinofilm „Der Fuchs“ realisieren.
„Der Fuchs“ ist die wahre Geschichte von Franz Streitberger, einem Motorradkurier des Österreichischen Bundesheeres, der mit dem „Anschluss“ an das Deutsche Reich in die Wehrmacht eingegliedert wird. Zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs findet der introvertierte junge Soldat einen verwundeten Fuchswelpen, den er wie sein eigenes Kind versorgt und mit in das besetzte Frankreich nimmt. Durch diese sonderbare Freundschaft mit dem Tier holt ihn seine eigene Vergangenheit als verstoßener Bergbauernsohn langsam ein, vor der er fast sein ganzes Leben lang davongelaufen ist.
Der reale Franz Streitberger, Jahrgang 1917, war der Urgroßvater von Regisseur Adrian Goiginger. Im Drama „Der Fuchs“ wird er gespielt von Simon Morzé. Während der Berlinale im Februar 2023 hatten wir die Gelegenheit, mit beiden vor der Kamera umfangreiche Interviews zu ihrem bewegenden Kinofilm zu führen.
Dieses Material kombinierten wir mit diversen Privatfotos und Originalszenen aus dem Film und untermalten diese mit der wundervollen Filmmusik von Arash Safaian. Für unser Making-of konnten wir außerdem auf Behind-the-scenes-Footage zurückgreifen, das während der ersten Drehtage im Frühling 2021 entstand.

For Kleinundpläcking and their client BerlinLinienbus, a European remote bus company based in Berlin, we created the idea for the company’s very first commercial and, based on that, developed the concept for an image campaign on social media.
With the help of producer Gerrit Klein, director Gabriel Borgetto, DOP Roland Stuprich and our friends from Bonaparte Films, we were able to bring the spot alive.
During Bonaparte’s commercial production in Hamburg, we photographed the campaign’s main key visuals on set.

Visual campaign identity and website concept
After the commercial and photo production we created a specific campaign design and developed the concept for an interactive campaign website that was realized by diesdas.digital. On this website, BerlinLinienBus’s followers could upload their personal, campaign-related content. So the brand was able to directly communicate with its target groups.

In early 2019, we supported fashion designer Kilian Kerner’s comeback at Berlin Fashion Week with a short black-and-white film. For the launch of his all-new brand KXXK, we created a video concept that tells the story of a young woman who is dealing with the emotional challenges that come with living in a big city. With a remarkable cast of young German actresses and actors, a sophisticated location and music composed by Elmar Weyland, we emphasized Kilian’s inspiration for his new collection.
