4. Unter Dem Tisch // 2014
Production Design
Directed by Florian Kogler
6. In this movie, there are two coexisting
worlds. One “above the table”, where shady
grownups feast mindlessly and an other one
“below the table” where children live an
adventurous and exciting life.
Art dept. budget: 700 €
“Above The Table”
For this set, the room and four tables were
set-up to look reminiscing of an old opu-
lence, now grotesque and worn out.
7. “Below The Table”
For this set, oversized tables where built,
below which, the children live in a warm,
colorful and magic world.
17. Nachtlicht
In this film, two characters enter a room and must
tell an emotional story. A third character inter-
rupts them and they have to start all over, but get-
ting closer to an objective version of their story.
Each time they start over, a “shadow” grows from ev-
ery corner of the room, growing bigger and bigger as
the emotional tension rises.
To film this in 3 days, we shot the film backwards
trimming the “shadow structure” between scenes.
Art dept. budget: 1200 €
18. Set Design
The set was designed using handmade draughts,
and accurate CAD models.
19. Set
The set was built in the Vienna Filmakadmie’s
studio.
It covered 30m2 and adding the walls it had
140m2 of surface.
The corners of the room were covered with ta-
pered surfaces to emphasize the vertical per-
spective.
It featured a 8m long movable wall, that
switched bethween the day and night scenes of
the film.
20. Props
Every prop on set was either out of scale
or perspectively distorted. The majority
had to be custom-built.
the most challenging ones were an analog
moon that “appeared” on one wall during
night scenes. And the giant light switch
which turned the night on and off.
24. “Daydreamer”, is an Austrian short
film about street children play-
ing during the Serbian wars in the
early 90s. Two realities coexist,
one where the children are playing
and a second one where the “games”
are being carried out by real sol-
diers in a real war.
Art dept. budget: 400 €
The toys they play with remi-
nisce toys from the 40s, look
worn out and handcrafted from
scrap materials.
The color palette consists of
shades of brown and grey with
silver details.
The sets are located in rural meadows abundant in trees and high
vegetation.
the color palette consists of dark greens, sky blue, golden and
warm browns.
For the children reality,
the costumes look worn out,
patched up, and oversized.
The color palette includes
shades of warm brown, black,
olive green and aged white.
25. The sets are located in a mountain area abundant in trees, bushes
and rocky cliffs.
For the soldiers reality, the esthetic
concept resembles that of a first-person
shooter video game.
the color palette consists of dark
blues, dark greens, black and red and
yellow accents.
34. in this mixture of reality show and phantasy series,
competitors went thorugh a series of chalenges. I
helped dressing the water challenge set
35. Unberührt // 2015
Production Design
Directed by David Birner
Produced by Rafal Studios
NOTE: this project is in early pre-production
so I can show only some mood sketeches.
41. Four-legged vehicle inspired by
insects, racing cars and movie
robots, designed for a videogame.
Vehicles should be able to jump
and move on tough terrain, since
racing would take place on the
moon!
47. “Devil Devil Devil” (2015). 40 Paintings
about “old demonic spells” Featured dur-
ing the movie.
Acrylics and Oil.
48.
49. Bones #1 // 2014
Acrylic on canvas 120 x 100 x 5 cm
Combination of the natural and artificial.
50. “no signal” // 2013
Mixed Media 190 x 60 x 80 cm
A sculpture of a figure examining it’s own heart.
A representation of how people are disconnected from
their emotions. The posture is reminiscing of modern
times, where people trust their technology more than
their own perception.
focus is set on the hands, so the level of detail and
anatomic accuracy of the figure gradually increase to-
wards this area.
51. A scene where masses of earless figures mindlessly kill each other over the claims of
a few. A representation of people’s lack of communication.
“It’s just politics”, 2014
Acrylic on canvas, 100x60 cm.
