Excursion to Northridge

During a short trip to Los Angeles in April 2015 we used the easter weekend for an excursion to the Congregational Church of Northridge, located in the San Fernando Valley, a 20 min drive from Hollywood.

It was my first visit to this beautiful building by Quincy A. Jones, one of my favorite architects. Some years ago I had seen just 2 photos and did a 3D model just guessing the sizes of the church looking at the pictures, so it was a real surprise that the inside of the church looked really exactly as the 3D generated renderings – see ‘work’ section. Recently I was slightly irritated to see one of my renderings on the church’s website, probably mistaken for a photograph, but decided to take this as an unintended compliment..

We liked the atmosphere so much that we decided to stay durig easter church service and had time to enjoy the modern midcentury style of this airy and elegant wooden pyramid. The big glue-laminated wood beams were quite impressive, and along with the simple but graceful cylindrical lights that Jones designed the only decoration. The open structure of the church rises to a skylight just below the spire, providing a wonderful light situation and creating a connection between indoors and the out.

It was nice to see that the church still is in a very good shape and seems to be a good home for a vibrant community that gave us a warm welcome on this easter sunday.

“They have retired” @ Lichter Filmfest Frankfurt

“They have retired” is part of this year’s shortfilm section of the LICHTER Filmfest Frankfurt International, a festival showcasing an excellent and diverse program on the big screen. Our clip will be screened at 10pm on Friday, March 20 in the very nice Cantate-Saal, a special location for the screenings of all shorts in 2015.

Unfortunately neither me nor Bertram Ritter will attend the screening for the interview after the end of the program – quite a pity as it would have been interesting to have a talk about what is really going on in our latest work. But of course we’re both happy to be a part of the selection of this festival.

They have retired – Production stills

By mrroessler Film, Inhouse production

Everyone who kept an eye on this news section may have noticed that the new inhouse animation “They have retired” had been announced for summer 2013. This intent turned out to be just a bit to optimistic as some small, not so small and also strange work orders took over the timetable. A few more weeks will still be needed to finish this movie.

However, at friday this week all three silkscreen prints that come along with the clip will be produced, and some results will be shown here at the time of the release of our new animation series. In the meantime, here are some production stills so you can be sure that something’s going on in the Playroutine home studios during the last weeks of the year.
Stay tuned.

They have retired – in production

By mrroessler Film, Inhouse production

The new animation series “They have retired” is now in full production. After some greenscreen filming of the main protagonist, now the process of keying, 3D modeling and the preparation for the silkscreen prints is in full flow.

Fortunately Bertram Ritter will keep care of the soundtrack again, and hopefully the first clip will be online for you before summer 2013. In between, here are some sort of online postcard flyers for any kind of distribution.
