I'm a filmmaker and mechanical artist from Germany, working on an entirely handcrafted Steampunk-Stopmotion movie!
We'll be at German MakerFaire in Hannover on 23./24th of August!

Looking forward to meet you!

It's been a while, but now I'm back with a new Video! This time I tried out a new Format: A little guide for silver soldering stopmotion armatures! ...Maybe not interesting to everyone, but hopefully useful to some ;)

A lot has happened, but differently than expected...

A late New Years Update for #anunwoundclockwork with News, Announcements and the last parts of the robot kits! 🤖
We made handcrafted screenprints for our supporters: https://youtu.be/XNck_HKSPhY
There are still a few available in my shop at https://www.vf-kinetics.de/

„Nachher wird es nicht mehr dasselbe sein.“ Das trifft zu, wenn man den Empfehlungen des 12. Türchens unseres Adventskalenders zur digitalen Selbstverteidigung folgt. Klick!
(Und noch eine kleine Bitte: Hilf uns dabei, dass noch mehr Menschen im Fediverse von unserem Adventskalender erfahren! Jedes Boosten zählt!)

@valentin_felder apparently my cell phone's camera has astigmatism, but letting you know that the light board arrived safe and I've got it up and running-
Will be putting some animation time in with it before long, but if this is how the prototype works I'm extremely excited for what the finished unit can do! Keep up the good work!
We completed all the establishing shots on the column and are ready to begin the next chapter now! :)

A new project of mine: Inventing a DMX-compatible light controller board specifically aimed at miniature applications and stopmotion! It supports LED's of all sorts and even classic light bulbs - Have a look!

The third and largest stage of the city column is completed and the shooting of new scenes has started again! ✨
Also: New mouths for our boss and the most complex part of the robot kits 😉 👀

This month we made some progress on the city model again! And we have the first sound design for two of the scenes and the robot kit's got their arms:

This month something completely different: https://youtu.be/j8xzPaQTgGM ...I'm developing a PCB which can drive small light bulbs and LEDs directly from USB and control them via Software, enabling everyone to create sophisticated lighting for Stopmotion and Miniature environments!
...Apparently something which doesn't already exist, I'm surprised too 😅

Last month we have successfully automated the lighting and movements on this set, which enabled us to shoot a whole bunch of scenes! - Additionally there is one very simple new robot character 😉

This month: My new Creature, the "Jellyfish", a new machine tool and some info about my first exhibition! ✨

A New Update Video! - January has yielded some rather pretty things, don't miss out on those! 😊 Inka has finished postproduction of the first shots from the boss office scene and I have gold-plated some tiny intricate brass parts. - Also, the first parts of the robot kit can be seen in this video ✨

20 years ago, I got in a (friendly) public spat with #ChrisAnderson, who was then the editor in chief of @WIRED. I'd publicly noted my disappointment with glowing *Wired* reviews of #DRM-encumbered digital devices, prompting Anderson to call me unrealistic for expecting the magazine to condemn gadgets for their DRM:
