RAT

The life of a homeless boy begins to fall apart as a mysterious girl causes his dark past to resurface.

RAT was indeed one of my first big film projects as a Director of Photography. When Theodor Bittner Rosser (Director & Producer) and Leander Lesotho (Leading Actor & Co-Producer) asked me wether I would like to help them out I immediately tried to figure out how to accomplish such a difficult task within the given amount of time. Most of the crew had never even been on a film set before, so the challenge to create a 20 minute short film, with initially over 20

Locations was even greater. In the end we worked for about 16 hours a day for 9 days straight until we finished shooting. Keeping in mind that this was a first for almost all of us, I’m proud of the end result. Both Teo and I know that if we’d ever work together again we’d do a bunch of things very differently but for now we hope that you guys will enjoy the film the way it is.

Some nice frames to look at.

Behind the Scenes.

Detailed work can be tiring, yet exhilarating. This night on the set of RAT was both. We wrapped up with a lot of collective blood, sweat and tears.

Sometimes I wish we had an EasyRig on all of my shoots. Unfortunately the budget gets often cut for such equipment. Especially on student projects. Therefore on the set of RAT I had to count on my back as much as I had to count on my assistants helping my out – They delivered.
