"Nur ein Sommer" Premiere

Went to the premiere of "Nur ein Sommer", which was shoot back in 2006 in the wonderful landscape of the swiss alps. It was directed by Tamara Staudt. Michael Hammon was behind the camera. So for me it's two and a half years back now and the edit changed a lot after vfx was finished. And in the end I really enjoyed that movie and loved the smart dialogues with all the little Swiss-German stereotypes. I really laughed as she decrypted the handwritten telegram in the night. Nice idea Tamara!

The VFX part was pretty invisible (so it was good). Did a lot of small matte paintings, greenscreen composites (as they used the elevator up to the mountain). It was also one of the first uses of our "Aurora" weather extension workflow, we developed over the years and projects. I will never forget the discussion with Michael Hammon about how a nearby lightning hit looks like.
Funnily enough they we're shooting in 2000 metres height, as a real lightning went down just 200 metres beside them. So after that real life experience we exactly knew, how it looks like. You can see the result in your repertory cinema next door.
