Neither Gerald nor I are able to recall it, but I did find some evidence: That's equation number 1 from the diploma thesis we wrote together, dated "Leipzig, 02/18/2002" and it's the first proof of a collaboration between us.

Three months later, New Mexico: we are walking through the desert on a dirt road, supposedly Old Route 66. Our attempt to cross the US in a wreck of an oldtimer failed. It's serious enough to leave the camera behind in the car, with which Gerald was filming our road trip.

while I'm looking at the footage and starting to turn it into a 100 minutes movie with Tom and Matze, Gerald is experimenting with multi-layered high resolution textures, for a change.

"Route 66 - an American (bad) Dream" became Germany's first Open Source movie. We are eager to get the next movie project going. Separate from this, Gerald's first texture collection DVD is being released, buying him the independence to help me prepare the new movie as a Script Doctor and Production Designer.

I'm finishing the Script of "The Last Drug", it's Summer 2005. Gerald is designing the sets in a 3D tool to prepare the construction and lightning and to enable us to use computer generated shots in post production. As we start to shoot he takes up the Director of Photography position and comes up with a confident aesthetic and a few awesome effect shots. As in this driving-car-rotating-dolly-shot:

In 2007 Gerald starts to render the computer graphic shots, which will be assembled into the footage by Matze, or which will be used as completely virtual shots in the movie.
We will release all computer- & 3D graphic project files and sources when "The Last Drug" goes on-line.
