That’s one of the biggest improvements on the shooting of season one of CNS: a tiny little car for the Art Department, only sometimes “mis”-used as crew shuttle. Although it’s still a lot of walking at a brisk pace, little Lada really does its job. Espacially under this miserable weather conditions.
The location that we scouted on March 7th. Again snow in higher elevations. But here it fits in quite nicely and gives a touch of high mountains.

Who needs that?
Here we are, shooting our beautyful summer-outdoor-show and what to we get? Snow!
The shooting of season 2 is going to start! We’re heading for the locations in Bayrischzell in the Bavarian Alps.
Here we gooo…
Great. That’s how a working day should be. Location Scouting for the upcomming season of the outdoor show. Talking a walk. Gloriously sunny weather. Picturesque alpine landscape. That’s the way I like it.
A documentary about the authors who wrote about Rübezahl, the folklore mountain spirit of the Bohemian and Silesian Giant Mountains. We’re preparing a detail shot, showing Johannes Praetorius, one of the historical authors, writing a manuscript. I take over as the hand double writing in historically correct old German Kurrent, the handwriting of those times.
Fancy an extract?
Don’t worry. The text is not only written in a historical handwriting, but also drawn up in 17th century German. So the following transcript also won’t help the German-speaking readers too much ;-)

Season’s Greetings, contemplative holidays, maybe some snow and a successful start into 2014!
Also by Doc and Felix presenting their new holiday video. A still from the video:
In addition to the talking every-day items already known, this time I inroduce a more elaborated type of puppet. They have a body and rod-controlled arms. An example from sketch to finished puppet of an Erlenmeyer flask.
Another job for BR. A little series of clips for their daily live broadcasts from the Oktoberfest. The back story: two beer mugs – a veteran and a greenhorn – experience different situations on the famous Bavarian beer fest. There will be three puppets of each charakter, each with a different facial expression.
An example of the old beer mug.
