Landtag 2011

This is a project from 2011 I did for the Landtag Baden Württemberg for Taks Film and director Dorothea Künzel. The process was a little protracted, because I had participated in pitch the year before. In retrospect the design I did back then was a little to lame, so I lost to Angela Steffen, but got the job when she decided to work on Andreas Hykades Tom. I was first supposed to use her design, which I didn´t like. I am a great fan of Angela but this case was different. So I did a complete redesign, which I like a lot.

The film explains the mechanics of the regional parliament and is often used in schools. It is a pity, that I haven´t found another use for this style so far. By the way thanks to Annette Schneider of Taks Film and Dorothea Künzig for her advice….

I uploaded an edit of the animated scenes. I don´t have the sound files so they are without sound, but I hope you will get the idea.

These are some drawings from the first pitch and a link to the animation test I did back then.

Hello there….

The last two weeks were pretty exhausting. I have started a new job at Cologne and we try to set up our flat simultaneously. O.K. enough chitchat. This is about drawing. I have started these two drawings already in Leipzig. The one with our beloved Bundeskanzler, Mrs. Angela Merkle, is an idea which is already 3 weeks old. So if you are not into German politics you won’t get the joke, and if you are into German politics and you don´t get the joke, it is probably because it was more prevailling 2 or 3 weeks ago.

It is basically about the fact that some spin doctor told Angie to pose as the first environmentalist German Chancellor, which led to her travelling to Greenland. The photographs looked like she was going to be the cover model of the new Jack Wolfskin catalogue. As soon as the economic crisis kicked in Angie forgot all she said a few weeks before. These things are probably better told elsewhere. Zurückrudern means literally to row back and figuratively to revoke something.
