A small … very personal story about loneliness ... and the search for life ... in a housing block filled with people ... who are too old, too drunk ... or too disillusioned ... so you just have to try desperately ... to be positive ...
... lightmare ... a free university project ... is based on several of my sketches ... the music, sound and perseverance of michael engelhardt ... nudges of hope from prof. dr. bauer wabnegg, michael flak ... and several others, who have occasionally brightened my surroundings
...
Perceived with concentration, the microcosm of picture and sound condenses into a small “story of survival”, where familiar acoustic, visual and temporal patterns appear distorted. The oppressive 3D graphics, specially developed typography, and the little optical kinks grow together with the sound organically. The sound was elaborately produced in Dolby Surround parallel to the pictures.
Making of

Textures: Corel Painter, Corel PhotoPAINT
Compositing: Adobe Aftereffects
