Typical car commercials is not what Johnny Hardstaff is about, more something to remember, striking visuals and vibes different from most other spots. And Martin is his go-to guy for creating these images. Once again they deliver.

Here is the new campaign for Kia, produced by Tony Petersen Film and shot in Spain.

Enjoy!

You might think Martin... hmmm... I am sure he is doing some movie or something... Well that's right - kind of. Martin is shooting The Tender Bar in Boston with Clooney directing again and Ben Affleck and Tye Sheridan.

So why is this worth reading? Because they are almost done and we are happy to let you know that Martin will be available again from early May for commercials. One more fun fact: basically he is with two Batmen on set most of the time. He feels very safe.

Here's one of his last commercials before his "break" Like A Bosch directed by Ben Callner and produced by the marvelous Czar gang from Hamburg.

Who's always there for you? Never has an opinion, never is in a bad mood? We surely love our dogs and cats, the ones who have some understand. And the ones who don't might understand this a little better when they watch Stephan's new films for Purina. Always fun to watch our best friends. These commercials were shot in Southern Bavaria and Berlin, produced by Marmelade/Hamburg:

Dardan x Gunboi? What's it called... Who the f**k is this?

We did not know them either... but Tony Kopec shot a really cool music video for these gangsta rappers in Kiev.

Directed by Maximilian Buck, Tony's images give the song a stylish edge. The way he uses colours and the anamorphic frames... Who the f**k...?

The Midnight Sky is epic, bold and exciting...

George Clooney assembled a cast of Hollywood A-listers as Felicity Jones, David Oyelowo, Kyle Chandler and himself, send some of them into space while he went into the Arctic.

30 years from when something catastrophic has happened on Earth. A spaceship crew is on its way back from a moon of Jupiter. And astronomer Augustine Lofthouse (Clooney), the only person left behind in an Arctic station finds his calm disturbed by a seven-year-old girl who does not speak.

Clooney picked Martin to lens his movie - it is their second collaboration - and Martin brought Karsten onboard. The film was mainly shot in London, Iceland and Spain and is one of Netflix' hottest contenders for this award's season.
We are excited! Take a look!

Akris, a well known Swiss fashion label, creates a collection inspired by Imi Knoebel one of Germany's most famous painters. Then Akris invites Anton Corbijn to make a film for it. Out comes an inspirational film, a celebration of colours and shape which is just beautiful to watch and a lot of fun.

So what?

Well the Akris film was lit and framed by Martin. They had worked together on many projects before but this one feels special.

Enjoy!

Not much happening because of Corona? Not for Bernhard Landen!
While the business calmed down Bernhard created three new projects.

He made his first music-video in a long time for The Rudel called Maskenball which was shot in Berlin.

Also together with renowned artist Fabian Knecht he developed and shot a documentary called Isolation about the artist's project.

And Bernhard also shot a commercial for Schärdinger Mozzarella for Film Factory from Vienna back when Vienna was not a hot spot.

Director, DP and Creative: Henrik Hansen
Creative: Julian Heppekausen

Die Hypnose was co-created and co-produced by Henrik Hansen and Julian Heppekausen.

Die Hypnose is a film which explores the deep subconscious, shining a light on one's mind both during a hypnotic psychological journey as well as how auto-enthusiasts feel driving their dream car, creating a visceral feeling by blending creative visuals with the sounds from within the mind during a hypnosis session.

I wanted to create something different and distinctive, take a fresh approach to the creative challenge of filming an automobile in a new and uniquely captivating manner.I wanted to create, wanted to shoot - but did not want to deliver a film like a lot of other people were putting together during this once in a hundred year event.

A small team was banded together and over two nights in May 2020, under-the-cover-of-darkness, Die Hypnose was shot - a dream car in a hypnotic state. Die Hypnose was filmed exclusively on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K and a tight selection of lenses. The result
speaks for itself - Die Hypnose is artistic, soulful and meaningful.

Delivering escapism, light and hope to everyone through the rhythmic pulses of this energetic film.

We love this one, nice smart brand advertising for Bosch - and a good opportunity for stylish production design where you would not expect it. Visit a Bosch factory and see what Tommy Stark designed for Ben Callner. This spot was produced by Czar Hamburg. We love it!

Love - let’s think about love and life for a moment. Maurus did dive in and created this beautiful look into the world of Balenciaga. Intimate portraits of a large variety of people, how they live, who they love. And as a side effect how Balenciaga’s style sets their minds free. We are very happy to show you something very different from Maurus. Produced by Cobblestone Berlin.

Sometimes you have to follow your instinct and tell the stories which talk to you the most. This is a poetic glimpse into a strong mother’s life. Every frame a beauty and wonderful look at NY. Florian Bison went to New York to direct and produce this short film (it really is a short short film). His friend Tony Kopec shot this gem.
