Well, finally my cooperation with Dr. Nachtstrom is complete. Check it out either here

or on youtube via http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq1eS8WHKCU

Don’t forget to watch it in fullscreen in hd

walter (aka dr. nachtstrom) is responsible for the crazy techno sound and your humble narrator is to blame for the visual experience.

A little rundown on the video: 32 gig of data, most clips composed in adobe aftereffects, some 3d elements rendered in maya, and arranging and effects added in adobe premiere. Working time on my side: approx. 40 hours, maybe more.

Hope you like it!

well my friends, in the summertime usually people go on vacation, i for myself decided to launch a crazy project called ‘Ritual Decay’, a cooperation with my good friend Dr. Nachtstrom. We noticed that we are that similar in some of our musical and visual tastes that it would definitely be an interesting experience to start a project together.

we are just in the process of finishing our first multimedia track called ‘Overseer’. It will be a wild audiovisual experience, i can promise you that much

Here some pictures to tease you a little bit further:

expect the video in high definition pretty soon, stay tuned!

What is it with this attraction on dystopy? Can’t say for sure, but i believe for me it has something to do with my childhood – growing up in the 80s and 90s where you got swamped with movies about the end of mankind. mad max, terminator, mark 13, all these impressions did leave a mark with me.

Nowadays the end of the world moves a little bit further away, we don’t have the overpowering nuclear thread like it was at the 80s. Nonetheless the interest in the downfall of society is still there. Its interesting for us in a weird way.

Little sidenote: I would not survive the apocalypse too long, i guess. Not good with guns, can’t run fast and the skills that i have are probably not that relevant – not sure about the need for illustrations and design in the modern wastelands.

Here some illustrations i did covering the topic, got plenty of these, stay tuned for some more.
