This short was selected by ONEDOTZERO and will be screened as a part of "terrain 08" at festivals around the world. It´s a great honor to screen work alongside the likes of Onesize and Tronic. Visual Music is my graduation film at the design department of the Hochschule Anhalt (Bauhaus). A music video about a man trapped in a dream. His world, consisting of "plattenbauten" (buildings made with precast concrete slabs) begins to fall apart. For this production a selfdesigned 35mm adapter was used. The CG elements were animated in Cinema 4D.

BMW Group comissioned gate.11 to develop and produce a spot for their latest concept car, nicknamed GINA. The revolutionary design choices made by the BMW designers called for high aesthetics when it came down to
developing the look and feel of this piece.
The spot premiered at the reopening of the BMW Museum in Munich and was very well received. GINA went on to make a strong impact on car lovers and transportation designers world wide.

Gate11 was asked to redesign the opener and logo for "Stars in der Manege" (Celebreties perform for charity at the famous circus Krone in Munich).
Then in it´s 46th year, it is one of Germanys longest running shows.
Due to the demographic of the audience the challenge was to come up with a new logo that is rooted in contemporary motion design but isn´t overly gimicky. A good mix of traditional circus related themes and visually attractive motion graphics.
Premiering on the 25th of December 2008 during prime time, almost 5 million viewers watched the show and it´s new opener.

The futuristic Double Cone at the BMW World with its special design offers an adequate framework for special exhibitions. The spiral stairs are equipped with a large "highlight screen" and 60 monitors which turn the Double Cone into a media dome.
The new BMW Z4 is used as a paint brush: it applies paint via the tires.
The Key Visual was created by the young South-African artist Robin Rhode and the Z4 performance is suggestively titled "An Expression of Joy".
Gate11 created 9 minutes of film and animation to illustrate the elegance, the joy and the expressive powers of the new BMW Z4 Roadster.

SHOWER GEL COMMERCIAL
A fun short project we did within 2 weeks. Who wouldn´t want to build a Godzilla-like rubber suite and show it off in a commercial? And the oportunity to destroy a whole city was a plus, too.
