Hi Markus, nice to see you here. Willkommen!

Can you tell a little bit more of your short (the one you mentioned when I visited you ?) - any link ?

Job concerns - I'll pm you.

The short is really short - 2:45 min - and is called "2 Berge" ("Two Mountains"). There's not much story to tell without giving away everything, but I intend to send it around to a lot of festivals. Another one is already halfway completed - animation's mostly done, now comes editing and the sound design - have to wait for a heavy rain to record that. This one I plan to premiere at Weiterstadt Festival in August - no prices to win, but a personal tradition to show my films there. And then I'm storyboarding something new, short but a bit more complex, to show at Stuttgart next year ...

About recording heavy rain; in my recent experience, when I needed that too. I discovered that automobile traffic from a window above a busy street on a mildly wet day can sound both like wind and rain, so does flapping newspapers and later speeding the track up, and sprinkling a garden hose (watering can too) on bushes or newspapers and using multi recordings creates an absolutely authentic effect of any degree of rain you wish to hear.

Great tips there. Thanks, Paul.
