That was the trigger for me to give a try for my version of the poster. Some kind of wired puppet fan art… ;-)
Sadly, this will not be in theaters, however the original will!
Check it out here (in German).

Fake Latte Macchiato, long, looong lasting
After having worked recently on a coffee house set, I got the idea to share my admittedly simple, however effective recipe for a fake latte macchiato.
Last spring, I had to dress a whole sidewalk cafe. It wouldn’t have been possible to redress everything between shots for maintaining continuity. Therefore, I needed a solution that would last for the whole shooting day.
After carrying out a few experiments in the run up to the shoot, I found out that plain old canned shaving foam is the ideal solution. I just pour milk into the glass and add – very carefully – a little amount of strong coffee prepared from an instant product. Finally, I add a nice topping of shaving foam.
All ingredients can easily be kept ready to use. And the result looks stunning and really lasts for hours!

Durable pralines that won’t suffer under the hot spotlights. Wooden beads, paint, some hot glue that serves as icing and finally some sprinkles and half of a jelly bean. Bon appetit. Or maybe better not…
Fake Food Packages
And the classic again – fake products. This time a milk carton and a cereals box. My puppet Felix serves as the brand’s mascot.
Rübezahl: faking a manuscript
Some Handwriting.
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 ;-)
“Darauf antwortet der [Bursch, es wird zwar wenig]
