About a month ago I was hired by <a href="http://kaiserbrand.com/2014/05/tabori-doku-24-5-2015-im-3sat/" target="_blank">Kaiserbrand GbR</a> to create 6 animated segments (around 2 minutes in all) for a Documentary about George Tabori. It was a pretty fast turnaround with only around 2 weeks at my disposal to create the character designs, backgrounds and animations - so the style of animation used is quite reduced based on quick and dirty puppet rigs created in after effects.<br />
<br />
It was shown about a week ago on 3Sat, and it was indeed a pleasure to see how well the animations were integrated in the overall documentary.<br />
<br />
Here are a few Stills and Gifs from the project (click for larger images):<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Last week I had an argument with a good friend of mine concerning the Bechdel Test. As I referred to the test as irrelevant, I apparently labeled myself as a sexist and closed her ears to any further argument on the matter. Now, I dont mean that the portrayal of nuanced female characters in film is unimportant (and definitely not Irrelevant) - but I do believe that the test is dated and ultimately flawed, not really able to give a correct picture of gender equality in cinema today.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On top of this I just learned that cinemas in Sweden has started using the test as a bluestamp for "more women friendly films", which is baffeling to me - but here let me explain</span><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The Bechdel Test was created by Alison Bechdel as a setup for a joke in her comic strip "Dykes to watch out for" back in 1985 (or in her own words; it is stolen from a friend who probably stole it from Virginia Woolf)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">For a movie to pass The Bechdel Test, it must have two (named) female characters; have those characters speak to each other; and have them speak to each other about something other than a man.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is a pretty simple setup, but unfortunately it doesnt really allow for a very nuanced analysis of the material at hand, and allows a lot of movies terrible towards women pass - and some movies with strong female protagonists barely pass or not at all.</div>

Lets just have a look at the infographics for the top 50 grossing films of last year (2013):</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">According to the numbers; films passing the Bechdel test are making 63% more profit (1,53 Billion $) than the movies failing the test. With this glorious result it should be case closed, right? Feminists everywhere rejoice and pop the champagne? Well before we get that far, lets just have a closer look at the films on the list:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Although movies like the Hunger Games and Frozen are standing proud in the passing column, they are joined by movies like G.I Joe: Retaliation, the Fast and the Furious 6 & the Hangover 3 only to mention a few: All are movies that has a somewhat one dimensional view on their female characters. Most surprisingly on the list is maybe Gravity - a film centered around a woman lost after loosing her child, fighting her way back to humanity. Although centered around a strong female protagonist occupying 95% of the movies screen time it fails every single point on the Bechdel checklist.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It gets even worse when we look at the highest grossing Bechdel passing films of all time where the "the Transformers Franchise" is represented twice. Anybody who can look me straight in the eye and tell me that the tits and ass representation of females in those movie is a victory to femisists everywhere (without laughing or crying) definitely deserves Meryll Streep's next Accademy Award in my book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">On the other hand movies with strong female main protagonists like Sarah Conner from Terminator or Ripley from Alien pass on brief exchanges of dialogue. Terminator passes because Sarah asks Ginger, her roommate, if she's seen her pet lizard. Ginger responds that she hasn't and asks if Sarah has checked their messages (and then they start talking about men, because the answering machine cancelled Ginger's date for the night). - By that measure most 3rd grade horror/slasher films and probably even most porn would pass the test.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Luckily I am not the only person in the world with this oppinion but until recently the Bechdel Test, however flawed it is, surprisingly enough has been the only real test dealing with the gender representation in film. Recently a new test has emerged up called the Mako Mori Test, inspired by one of the protagonists from Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim - Mako Mori is a well-written Japanese woman who is informed by her culture without being solely defined by it, without being a racial stereotype, and gets to carry the film and have character development.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The Mako Mori test is passed if the movie has: a) at least one female character; b) who gets her own narrative arc; c) that is not about supporting a man’s story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">It is still a pretty low bar to pass, but I find it a valliant try, and I definitely find it positive that new initiatives are brewing to find something better than the Bechdel test</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">But to sum it all up; in my oppinion the Bechdel Test doesnt paint a clear picture on quantity nor quality of female representation in current cinema. Telegraph film critic, Robbie Collin, criticized the test as prizing "box-ticking and stat-hoarding over analysis and appreciation", and suggested that the underlying problem of the lack of well-drawn female characters in film ought to be a topic of discourse, rather than if films are failing or passing the Bechdel test. *</span></div>

About 2 years ago I did a pitch for a new dual platform campaign for Heinz (online & TV). The idea was to have an animated online series following the 'behind-the-scenes" life of old Hollywood, as the characters are on set shooting different genre films - with Heinz as the classical Hollywood leading man. As production grinds to a halt due to different problems on set. Heinz steps in to save the day. The corresponding TV/Cinema spots would then be the films they are shooting on set.<br />

A while back I got in the car with all the guys from Scott Benson's amazing project Late Night Work Club - Ghost Stories. And tonight as the only movie in the project we got kicked to the curb due to 'too disturbing content' :(<br />
<br />
Cue sentimental Music:<br />
When I think Ghost stories I think about the sleazy horror films of my youth like Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, Evil Dead etc. Generally I am not a big fan of the macabre, but here we made a decision early on to pay homage to this genre. I haven't felt like doing a provocateur piece like this for a loong time, but I figured that since the theme is ghost stories, we would construct a movie celebrating and referencing these gems from the past - like Freddy visiting your dreams, the wasted youth content of sex and drugs in Friday the 13th, and the 'Tree Scene' from Evil dead etc.<br />
<br />
All the other movies look poetic and dreamy. Maybe we went too far?<br />
<br />
In my mind the movie is about turning the tables. She is the predator, not him. (She has clearly done it before) Insect mating rituals, fear of commitment, and owning up to your mistakes. (See the Irony here?)<br />
We are inside her head, playing by her rules.<br />

On a personal level I must admit that I find it strangely confusing to be excluded from a project without rules, celebrating full creative freedom, authorship and a flaming lets-just-make-something spirit, because our movie didn't fit in. There were moments in the ATA where I was tempted to edit (out) episodes, due to flow and quality etc. But that would go against the very nature of the project, and these diversities are a big part of the charm and excitement of watching it...<br />
<br />
I want to underline that I have immense respect for Scot and all the guys/girls in the project (and women in general). And there are no hard feelings from here. We understand and respect the decision, but are of course bummed out that we were rejected. All the movies look really amazing! I am a huge fan of everyone involved, and it would have been an honor to be seen next to these guys/girls as a part of this project and not the odd one out. Especially because we put in the late hours and banged this baby out in only 4 weeks next to our full time jobs. But lesson learned. Never sing schlager when you are hanging with poets...<br />
<br />
Without further ado: LNWC rejected - "TOO DISTURBING" to be shown. Beware it contains mature content!<br />

No need to hold on to these any more. More cool stuff on the way. Back in working mojo thanks to the <a href="http://latenightworkclub.com/">LateNightWorkClub</a>. These concept sketches I did for a pitch a few months back. This exact thing unfortunately didnt pan out, but it set us all off in a way more interesting direction...<br />
