Dreckmonster (Dirtmonsters)
Co-Director
It is 9:15 min long and was released in 2007.
The story is about five Dirtmonsters that are working for the detergent industry, which
have to deal with getting replaced by a more efficient Dirtmaschine.
I was co-directing the film with Maike Ramke.
We developed the idea, created the storyboard and designed the characters
and involved later a big team to make this project come to life.
We had a producer, a screen writer, an editor, a sound engineer, a music composer,
a 3D artist and many helping hands and of course a really great voice cast for our characters.
For the main voice of Willi (narrating the story) for example
we were happy to get for the German version Helmut Krauss,
well known over decades as the neighbor in the TV show “Löwenzahn”
and for the english version we managed to get Donald Arthur († 2016), the
German voice of Kent Brockman (The Simpsons) and the Chef (South Park).
The music was played by the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg.
