John Rabe - Little Report, With Video!
// February 27th, 2008 // No Comments » // China, Shanghai, Videography
When Ben commented to my last post about the pictures from the movie John Rabe, I just headed over to YouTube to see if anything had been released there - officially or not. Sadly, I found no trailer - but a little report! DW, Deutsche Welle, was on the set reporting and seemed to have been allowed to capture some stuff with their cameras.
Now the bad side: The video is almost half an hour long and over 60 megabyte big.
But I watched through it and the John Rabe part is right at the beginning! So just watch it until the report of John Rabe is finished, the rest has nothing to with it anymore.
Here we go:
Official John Rabe(约翰拉è´) pictures.
// February 26th, 2008 // 3 Comments » // China, Photography, Videography
Most of my friends know what I’ve been doing during the last three months: working with the VFX team on the german movie John Rabe. Sadly, no trailer has been officially released yet so I don’t really have anything to show. But! ‘Majestic Film Verleih’, the company who will bring the movie to german cinemas this year (or so I hope) released 8 official press pictures.
So here you go, a little something to feed your appetite in regards to this movie. 8 pictures!
Dr. Georg Rosen (Daniel Brühl), employee of the german embassy, tries to handle the threat in regard of the chinese civilians in diplomatic ways.

Dr. Robert Wilson (Steve Buscemi), leader of Nanjing’s hospital, fights tireless for the survival of the people.

Valérie Dupres (Anne Consigny), leader of the International Girls College, can’t enjoy the festivities - she’s worried about her students.

Nazi Werner Fließ (Mathias Herrmann, 3.v.l.) is supposed to take John Rabe’s (Ulrich Tukur, 5.v.l.) place as the leader of the Siemens branch in Nanking.

John Rabe (Ulrich Tukur) is desperate, the uncertain future worries him.

The members of the international committee for creating a safety zone (Ulrich Tukur, Anne Consigny, Steve Buscemi, Christian Rodska, Daniel Brühl, Shaun Lawton) don’t know how to handle the rush of 250.000 people at once.

Schoolgirl Langshu (Zhang Jingchu, å¼ é™åˆ), a student of Valérie Dupres, takes pictures of the japanese war crimes in Nanjing.

Well, that’s it. As soon as Majestic releases more pictures and / or a trailer, I’ll post it.
2raumwohnung in Nanjing
// October 20th, 2007 // 2 Comments » // China, Videography
Yesterday was the first official day of the german festival here in Nanjing. The first act on the big stage, where I got an job as a camera man, was a chinese orchestra which performed german classic songs. Was nice. But then came the main event: The german-nationally famous electronic pop band called ‘2raumwohnung’ and boy did they make the chinese people dance! The audience was kinda calm during the first songs but then switched to dancing and clapping and whatnot. Without any alcohol! Unbelievable, I’ve been to some concerts but I’ve never seen anything like this before. Just watch the video I uploaded to get an idea (so how was I able to shoot this while I had to do my real job as a camera man? 2raumwohnung didn’t need a live video stream, they had their own visuals for the background - so I was off work). YouTube is still blocked, I’ll try to make some more videos while being here.
Rape porn in Nanjing?!
// October 19th, 2007 // No Comments » // China
Now that YouTube is blocked in China, I’ll try to keep you entertained with my own videos…
Nanjing is a city with a sad history. The japanese killed over 300.000 people here during their invasion, the famous ‘Nanking Massacre’. They also raped around and killed women and children. This makes my video even more confusing: I was in my hotel room in a four-star hotel when I accessed the television. You’d think that I’d get CCTV or HBO or something like that, but no, the first thing I see is a woman getting raped! What the hell? The hotel is trying really hard to sell their pay-per-view porn… See for yourself, just watch my video. Warning: Contains disturbing images and sound.
My first driving lesson in China!
// September 22nd, 2007 // No Comments » // China, Videography
Last sunday was the ‘premiere’: I had my very first driving lesson in Shanghai’s Xuhui district, near Caobao road line one subway station. The license costs me about 4000 kuai and it will take ‘at least’ 3 months to get it, as the teacher said. No driving this christmas, too bad! Anyways, I had my Nokia N93i with me and decided spontaneously to document this driving license project as a vblog or video podcast for my other big website, mysan.de. So waste no time and head over to mysan.de to see what the first day was like. Since I speak german in the video, here are some facts: I have to take lessons once a week for three months. Taking more lessons every week wont speed that up. I will have to learn on a backyard for two months, only then I am allowed on a real street for the first time. We have to practice certain ‘moves’ over and over again, because we will have to do exactly these in the final test. So for the next two months, we are going to practice parking the car and other stuff in the mentioned backyard. Boring! Usually, we have to show up at the backyard at 9 in the morning and stay there until 5 in the afternoon, but we had a talk with our teacher and now we just need to spend the afternoon there. And the reason for that is because we share the car with two more people, and every 20 minutes or so we change the driver. Waste of time! So we told the teacher to teach the other two people in the morning and us in the afternoon. I really don’t want to spend the next three months every weekend in the back of a car, not driving myself for over one hour every time. That’s just stupid. Tomorrow we have our next lesson, expect the next episode next week or so.
Zhu and Gou: Almost done.

This is a graphical view on the contents of the ZHU AND GOU DVD that I am currently producing. Regular users of the software will immediately recognize that I am using Apple’s DVD Studio Pro to create my wedding movie DVD. Anyway, all the content is created and encoded, the only thing that we are still working on are the subtitles. There will be german, english and chinese subtitles. Since most of the talking is in german, I am doing those first, then translating them to english, then my wife will translate to chinese on the basis of the english ones. What a project! The movie is 1 hour and 10 minutes long, I edited with Final Cut Pro, I had about 16 hours of material available (it was no fun to go through all that, believe me), taken with 4 different cameras so I had to use a lot of color correcting plugins. I even had to widescreen the whole movie since one camera recorded in 16:9. You gotta have patience, I think i watched more at the rendering loading then actual video…
So, dear friends who are waiting for the DVD, it will reach you soon. Stay tuned for more soon.
One Missed Call remake trailer.

‘Intense sequences of violence and terror, frightening images, some sexual material and thematic elements’.
Rating: PG-13. Yeah, right… Looks exactly like the original anyway.
