We produce commercials, music videos, creative content, and stories. We work for brands, agencies, production companies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your film &#8211; how did it come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was reading the local newspaper and there was an article about Wolfgang, &#8220;the strongest man of Berlin\u201c. Wolfgang was born in 1937, so it was challenging to find him on the internet. Luckily his training facility was on facebook, I wrote them and we arranged our first meeting here in Berlin. Wolfgang told me he is going for one last world record in Sweden, so our mission was set.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you find out about FilmConvert?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Probably more than 5 years ago, looking for a fast and solid solution to get a filmic look. I really have seen the plugin develop to what it has become now. Camera Profiles, Luts, Colors Wheels&#8230; It was one of my first purchased plugins starting my career as an editor back then.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did you decide to use FilmConvert for this particular project?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We shot the whole project on old vintage lenses, so we were aiming right at the beginning an organic filmic look. All to emphasize the story &#8211; Wolfgang&#8217;s life is full of history, World War II, Berlin, and GDR.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the particular look or style you were going for with your video?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned before Wolfgang is a witness of history. Real film and grain is a witness of history too. The Kodak Emulation is our choice &#8211; very often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your workflow. What settings, film stock, camera profiles, and tweaks did you use in FilmConvert?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After a basic grade, Isabella used film-convert to finish our project, blend shots together. You can achieve a greater feeling of continuity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Felix and Isabella Hoffman won the FilmConvert Short Film Competition Documentary category with their personal short film, &#8216;The Strongest Man of Berlin&#8217;. the strongest man of Berlin (English subtitles) from dough-studios on Vimeo.
