This is the trailer for the upcoming 9th shortfilmfestival "Flensburger Kurzfilmtage / Tricky" in Flensburg / northern Germany. Filmed in one day on a canon 5D together with Joachim Freitag.

/// Task
Flensburg is a mid-to-small-size town in the north of Germany, situated around a fjord, next to the baltic sea and the border to Danmark.
If you live here, especially as a teenager or young adult, you will probably like it - but you will not think it is cool. So we thought that it could be nice for the people coming to the festival to experience Flensburg in a new way - to make Flensburg look kind of urban, rotten, strange and cool - but still Flensburg.

/// Team
Joachim and I got to know each other through a strange phone call in which I boldly claimed to be After Effects god, not knowing that I am so much not - as he definitely is! Being close friends since then we never had the chance to work together on a film project, which is strange, since we always felt that we would be the perfect team.
This is our first film together. As it turns out, we were right. He is the fallback on everything I can do better and vice versa. So we always had two DOPs on the set and two motion artists in the post, and we knew when it was better to rely on the opinion of the other for the sake of the better output in the film.
There is more to come from this team in the future - trust us :-)

    I love the typography and the subtle effects.
  • stuffcore plus 2 years ago
    I am also captivated by the colouring.
    was it done with SA colour finesse 2?
  • Pepe Lange plus 2 years ago
    Thank You. Coloring was all done in after Effects. We though to do it in Final cut for a second, but there is no chance to finetune the balance of colors with a three-point-color-effect. So After Effects gave us the chance to work like in Photoshop - but you need to work Your way from cut to cut through the final edit.

  • Awesome. I love the typography and im not a typography person. The shots are great and I love the freeze frame of the birds.

    beautiful shots (specially the wide shots) and editing. The typography is really cool too.

  • Rocket Science plus 2 years ago
    Very nice! Did you apply the motion tracking keyframes to the typography?
  • bewegtbild plus 2 years ago
    only a few times... in fact we recorded a handheld camera in the studio and applied these tracking keyframes to the whole scene...
  • Pepe Lange plus 2 years ago
    We didn't really do that - did we? I thought we drank some wine, than i drew a line on the wacom tablet - while you vomited in the toilet and while i was passed out sleeping on the studio floor, you matched the real recording and the typography to that line, frame by frame. As far as i can remember.

    Nice work, guys! How did you do the long final travelling on the boards ? It's very stable! Cobbled dolly ? Steadycam fixed down on a cart ? Stabilization with After FX ? ... I don't know but it's brilliant.
  • bewegtbild plus 2 years ago
    we put the camera on a tripod, took it upside down and ran down the bridge. position and rotation was tracked in aefx.

    A very nice work, and the effect at 1.35, with the birds freezing in the air and the man still running behind...

    Can Pepe or anyone else tell me what sound library was used? I've been looking for a decent glitchy/distortion compilation for a while but found nothing that is of this quality.
  • bewegtbild plus 2 years ago
    all the sounds came from SOUNDTRACK out of FINAL CUT STUDIO.

    Ah, see us Adobe guys are in the dark. ;) One more reason to make the switch.

    Wow! Pepe, your video so soul and technology! May I ask question - how uou shot last frame from 2:14?
  •  
  • Pepe Lange plus 2 years ago
    Hi Studiomax, we just took the camera with the tripod, turned everything up-side-down, and I ran, holding the camera some centimeters above the ground. Then we fliped the image in the post an Joachim used a tracker in After Effects to stabelize the image - so the image is a little croped.
  •  
  • Pepe Lange plus 2 years ago
    I like Your picture by the way ( ! )

    Great work guys ! Enough to wow me too :) You got a very nice collection of shots in a 1 day shoot. Must have been running back and forth to charge batteries ! And the tracking and colouring is also really nice. BRAVO
  •  
  • Pepe Lange plus 1 year ago
    Thank You Jesse. It was really a day full of luck. We walked through the town, had everything on us, shot what we liked, went to were we expected more and I think that almost every shot turned out in the final film. Not many painfull "kill your darlings" though. I think the pigeons gave us a hard time .... animals and kids; the most difficult thing - as always

    there are 5-6 awesome composings in there. but then again does everything have to look like the opening titles from the OFFF? vimeo.com/4689562
    same font, same style, same grading, same look. not very original i find.
