NEUMATT

Titlesequence Season3

  • The countryside-map is getting internalized by our protagonists and as a symbol of their origin it connects them together as a family.

    Here is shown a slightly adapted directors edition.

DYNASTIE KNNIE

Titlesequence

  • Title sequence for the docu-fiction picture on Swiss Television SRF 2019

    Rise of a dynasty against all odds.
    While strong winds whip around the ropes, poles and tarpaulins, the strenuous construction of the circus tent succeeds with skillful ease.
    The mesmerizing animation alludes to the history of the Knie family, which has had to assert itself in adverse conditions time and again.
