Securing Your Laptop at Work
I wanted to share this litte trick with you for quite a while now, but of course I have been busy and other things came in the way. They always do.
I work with my MacBook Pro at home and at the office. That is of course nice, because it is my only base of operations and I have everything in one place.
But do you know the feeling that you are working with your laptop at work and don’t want anyone to snoop around on it, because it also is your private laptop and has all kinds of personal stuff on it? I know I do.

Try to Avoid the Dark Knight in German
I just saw the German trailer for the awesome movie The Dark Knight and I was shocked to the bones. The dubbing is the worst I have heard and seen in years.
My god, how can they ruin the best movie produced in a long time with such emotionless dubbing? It was pure pain to sit through the trailer knowing the original performances. The Joker was ultimately uninspired and had a voice that didn’t match Heath Ledgers voice in any way. And the other voice actors were similarly passionless.
So here goes my warning for anyone reading this: Try to avoid the German version of The Dark Knight by any means possible!
Over and out.

VFX Coordination for Pixomondo
I have been hired at Pixomondo Images in Ludwigsburg to work as VFX Coordinator for some of their recent projects. This is an exciting opportunity. The company size is considerably bigger then most companies I have worked so far and I have to handle several smaller projects instead of one or two big projects. That is a new challenge and I am looking forward to master it in the coming weeks.
Being a part of Pixomondo makes me proud, as this is a very professional, yet cool company to work for. I have a chance to stay with them for a longer time if I am not messing up the first 1,5 test months. Wish me luck.
"Prisoners of the Sun" Put on Hold
It is official now. The production of "Prisoners of the Sun" has been put on hold. All employees and freelancers have been laid of as of 30th April 2008.
According to rumors, it seems the legal situation of the movie was not researched thoroughly before going into post production.
It is a pity, because we were at a stage, where all the pipelines were set up and we just started our first two full CG shots. We were actually starting to have some good old VFX fun. But not anymore. Now we have 20 people hunting for jobs again.
It really makes me sad to give up a great little company. We had a killer team. Thanks to all of you for being so great.
P.S.: If anyone has an open position for a compositor or VFX producer let me know.
