Cherish Live.
What has surprised you the most in recent time? The ability to make changes would be my answer. The human being is a ‘creature of habit’. It’s easy for us to stay in our common role model and just follow the way that people lay beneath our feet. But sometimes we need to break out and make a change.
Time flies, second after second. You’re alive. But are you the same person now as you are in 5 seconds or 10 days? And do you want to be this person? What does matter, the future or the past? Isn’t it the precise moment you’re in? One word or second can change everything, but you’re able to be in control about whats happening and about what you want to archive. Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.
An unknown author once said ( and you find this quote in the Kung fu Panda Movie ) “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. That’s why it’s called the Present”
This is your life and you can do whatever you want to with it. You are not supposed of finding yourself. You have to express oneself and furthermore creating yourself.
To archive this goal it is necessary to learn to love. Especially the little things. I quote this down below in the last Blog Post but i have to do it again.
Do what you love in life. Follow your heart. Express the love for your life and enjoy it. Keep pursuing your passion because you will have a great time in life, you will have fun and life will be full and rich for you. - The Voice of Mario -
This all relates to my life in many ways and the way i changed my view on the everyday life. In a future post i will explain this more detailed/related to actual events.
Keep on Lovin’!
Wrappin’ it up
No Posts for about 2 months. Well, thats awkward! Of course it is for a reason, that most of you already know. I wasn’t lazy. I simply wasn’t capable of collecting all the emotions and tide of events and speak about them. Neither could I displace them. So I did - not nothing - but waited and reflected about the closer events.
About 2 Month ago ( the time i stopped writing, but you could easily replace writing with living ) i received a letter from the highly famous Filmakademie in Ludwigsburg. I was shocked. I was one of the few 28 People out of ~thousand who got the chance to make an examination. I felt very uncomfortable with this new situation after 5 years of working. I never actually did except that to happen. To be more exactly, they invited me as 1 of 3 people for the Masterclass. Tense situation!
So i stopped every ongoing project and most of my social contacts and worked my ass off to get prepared for the masterclass task. I spoke to a few students but this did make me feel more uncomfortable. I learned a lot during this time. About Software, Workflow but most important - about myself. For most of the studying guys this is hard to understand. But having an comparatively easy Job for over 5 years vs. exam situation in front of 8 directors and professors was pretty challenging.
I spend 7 days in Ludwigsburg and it have been 7 intense days but also encouraging ons. I fell in love with the city, the university itself, the students and the hard and challenging work. I was very confident and felt uplifted when leaving the City. The exam itself was short and painless. The leading professor even told me that my chances are great. I was happy! For the next 2 weeks while i was waiting for the letter of acceptance, in my head everything started to take forms. I already had quit my “old life” and lived only with a bright sight of the future.
But the letter never reached my destination. The other students i was still in contact with got their permission. I became very nervous, what threatening weeks! I did sleep poorly and my stomach went ill since the day i visited Ludwigsburg. I lost 5 Kilos of weight and even today i’m not recovered from this emotional stress phase. So i called them several times but they weren’t able to contact me via phone. After another couple of days of waiting they were able to scan my letter ( -.- ) and send it via eMail. I was accepted. I wasn’t accepted. For reasons i will never get to know. To make my heartstrings complete, one day before i broke up with my girlfriend.
I felt really lost and couldn’t explain to myself what the reasons were.
But life goes on and even if this door is closed another one might open for me and for a brighter future.
I am a Man of few words for today. You can see some Renderings i created this day, all of them are needed for the Project. I try stop posting to much 3D Stuff for now because it is not supposed to bore you long term! :)
Allright, here’s the first example of the object in a 3D moving environment. Exchange Background and Object with an Optimus Prime and Hollywood isn’t far away. :D
There need to be much more adjustments but the technics are the same besides in its scale!
The most beautiful guy everr?
You have most likely heard of Andrej Pejic before (it was cool). If not i’d like to share this picture to you. He ( if you did not get it till now - yes, his gender is really male ) is ranked 16 of the Top 50 male Models.
Fun fact: He is also ranked 98 on Top 100 woman Models and worked at McDonalds before he got discovered. He’s the most androgynous person i’ve ever seen and i have to admit he/she/whatever looks really handsome!
Project X:
Job was fun last week! Since March we are having an Trainee called Paul from Austria. We have a lot in common and after working alone for 5 years now i have a partner that shares my passion and interests for film making. We even share rooms now :D With Kolja leaving the company it is beginning to be quite empty on the first floor but know there’s some fresh breeze at least for me.
We’re developing a huge Project. I will not reveal all of it’s content but we want to combine “Gaming Objects” and reality on a photorealistic basis. This is a different direction to the stuff i am doing otherwise. But we we’re heavy busy learning 3D Programms for the last 2 Days and this is what I came up with.
You can see the Model of a Mario Kart Green Shell. I tried to model it Photorealistic. Being the first day i ever really touched 3D Programm i’m quite satisfied with the look! Maybe there’s room for improvement but this is only the beginning in 3D. I think with a 2People Team Up there is much possible for a 1 to 2 minute special effect movie in Cinema Quality! Haha but maybe we’re going Nuts.
On the other Pictures you can see the Shell composed into “real life” situation. Thats where i feel more secure due to working process. Pictures need a moment to load but so you can see them in Full resolution. This shot was also established in a shaky camera shit but i keep that video for the next post :) Tell me what you think!
Tattoo Time. There is always the time in life where you’re about to change and sometimes you do stupid things like piercing 5mm holes into your ear ;)
But some changes age over time and become more serious. Speaking about serious - my all time favorite was always the Joker from the Batman Series. On the first hand it’s a multilayered character with complex a characterisation on the other i love his generell look and attitude. However i have a huge green and purple fetish.
“Some men just wanna watch the world burn” ( possible underline )
This fits perfectly with some other random characters i really love which actually share the same color scheme. It’s Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story Movies having a life-affirming verdict:
To infinity and beyond ( 2∞&↑)
Last one is Donatello being my all time favorite from the TMNT Turtles Comics. Loved his Wisdom, Leadership skills and of cause his bo.
3 Characters with the same colorsheme.. I hope i come up with something good, i’m planning a few days but the final idea is far away. Maybe i end up using only a Joker Card as card play is a huge interest for me. 8 Bit Pixel Style is the way i wanna go, closing the gap between comic and gaming. Although i don’t like realistic Art on Flesh.
We will see if i have the guts to take this step but first the motive must be perfect. So we’ll see in a few weeks i can tell you hopefully more!
