Tron Legacy

I cannot wait for this movie! The entire Soundtrack is done by Daft Punk, so it just has to be off the hook.

Influencers.

Cool clip about trends, fashion, design and the people that influence it.

This Is The Arrival! Yes, it is!

Have I told you about "This Is The Arrival"? They are an up and coming band from Munich and are sure to blow up pretty soon. Actually this is happening as we speak. And actually they're not from Munich, but also from around Isen, Erding, Dorfen where I grew up.

They're our friends and they are awesome. It's just a matter of time till we see Mario, Hot, Timo and Piet on MTV. Perfect Indie Pop at it's finest. You just have to like it.

They just released their new single "New York's Got A Piece Of My Chest" today.

New York's Got A Piece Of My Chest by This Is The Arrival

Clemens and Vincent produced the music video for their first single "Mexico" a few months ago.

And when you read about these boys in the newspaper, see them on TV and listen to their Album, I'll be all like "told you so!"

Give them some love and buy their debut album. Schiller told you so!

All work and no play make Alex something something....

No time to blog. I have a life. Or don't I? I'm not even sure anymore.
Here is the best music video in the world (and Mars).

Movie done. New tattoo. Mini vacation. Big night.

So. I've been sitting in the editing dungeon with Vincent for the last two months. And I didn't blög about anything because simply.....nothing happened worth telling. All I did was sit in front of the computer, edit, eat, sleep (rarely) and repeat.
But now "Don't Panic!" is finished and we're storing it in our safe until the world premiere on September 17th.

Stefan, Vincent, Simon and I have wanted to get matching tattoos for quite a while and now we finally did it. Vincent and Stefan are leaving for a 3 month trip to Asia soon so we decided to do it now or never. The day I finished the movie, Stefan and I headed to the tattoo parlor around the corner from my office and got ourselves a good old fashioned anchor. Simon and Vincent are next and we'll all be sporting the same ink. Thanks to the dudes at Surface Tattoo for making our awesome pieces.

The back of my upper arm.


Stefan under the needle.

Now I'm off to Hannover for 3 days to meet up with Lenas family. Never been up there before and I look forward to hanging out with a bunch of north Germans.

Remember to RSVP the world premiere Facebook event. It's gonna be off the sheezy....or something like that.

Peace

Between Bears

While constantly searching the interweb for inspiration for my filmmaking, I came across this amazing video. No deep story but the animation is stunning! Would be cool to see a feature film in this style some day.

Musiqué

On the never ending search for music to use in our movies, I stumble over a lot of new tunes by my favorite artists. I´m such a music junkie and spend way too much money on iTunes! Here's just a few I´ve stumbled across lately. (No, none of these will end up in the new IsenSeven movie. I´m smarter than to post our future songs in the stalkernet, hehe)

Midnight Juggernauts - Vital Signs

These Aussies have been on my radar for a long time and I've played just about every single one of their remixes when I was DJing. This Album is awesome and a little bit more guitars than synthezisers.

Stars - Fixed

If I had to spend the rest of my life on a deserted island, Stars from Canada would be one of the bands I would take with me if I could only choose five bands for the rest of my life. "In Our Bedroom After The War" was such an amazing album and "Five Ghosts" almost lives up to it.

Miami Horror - Sometimes

Everyday I check online to see if the debut album from Miami Horror is finally available. But still no luck.

Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros - Home

The leadsinger used to be part of the band Ima Robot which made electronic pop. A few years later he converted to a full fledged hippie in a multi-man(woman) band, playing music that sounds like it´s straight from the 60's. Cool beans.

Supershirt - 8000 Mark

After all, there is life after Frittenbude.

MSTRKRFT - Heartbreaker

Nothing new but still one of my favorite bands. I was never a big Jon Legend fan, but every band that features him comes out with great tracks.


Oh, and I must note that I hate Vincent. He drove up to Sweden to see one of the only european shows of Arcade Fire (only the best band in the world). They´re coming out with a new album on my birthday and so far their only German show is in Berlin. Lame!
