In the Works: Current Projects and What’s Next
A look at the work still underway, from web design and filmmaking to creative experiments and community projects.
Dear friends,
it's the getting to the end of the year and I take this as an occasion to take a step back and look at what I am actually doing.
I wrote down some thoughts about all my ongoing projects. Turns out: It's quite a lot…
💯 100k
100k is the name of our web-design & development studio. We are grateful that exciting projects are rolling in on a frequent basis. Though it would be worth to look into some kind of marketing strategies. Until now do don't advertise at all and everything is word to mouth. I should also update our website with the most recent projects…
🌊 Aquarelle
Super excited to work on the short film of a very dear friend of mine. Without having any prior experience in filmmaking Malak Haynes got all his shots together. Now we are in the post-production phase. Editing, FX, sound and colours…
🐯 Children Story
Planning to make a short animation for children with Santiago Carrasquilla from Artcamp. We want to combine to worlds of AI and traditional painting. We developed a good flow with our Telfar Remix project which we can apply now in a much more free way to our own story.
🧪 Creative Lab
All my creative experiments like generating AI images and videos - but also all my "marketing-strategies", my newsletter and admin I call Creative Lab. So when I have nothing to do - there is always something to do…
🗽 DiNoto
Thrilled to soon launch a beautifully crafted portfolio website for New York advertising legend Greg Dinoto.
🌳 Foz Da Cova
Sadly I did not manage to visit our small village in Portugal this year - but soon I will. We are currently building our own sauna, gathering great people and developing the village step by step.
👻 Ghostbirth 2
I had some creative distance from my next movie project Ghostbirth 2 which I plan to shoot in Bangkok. But I feel how the story slowly develops inside of me. Thai ghosts, Ma Nak, massage studio, Bangkok, gore, romance and spooky graveyards. It will all come together soon.
🖨️ IntoMedia
Excited to be working on the corporate identity for my cousin's company, IntoMedia. They offer a platform for designers, agencies, and printers, enabling clients to easily order pre-designed stationery online with convenience. I’m also delighted to collaborate with illustrator Jens Roth on this project, who perfectly brings our vision to life.
⌨️ Limn
Also I am collaborating with a bunch if very talented people on our own Ai platform to generate images and videos. We want to make use of tools like Stable Diffusion, Deforum and ComfyUi to create an user experience which is suited to our own way of working. The project turned out to be super technical but we are on a good track.
📈 Living Data Studies
The Department of Architecture at Delft University asked us to create a corporate identity and website for their Living Data Studies program. We're excited to soon release a playful design that breaks away from the usual dry data stereotypes.
💫 Love Body Mind
Thats a little title which I use for my own personal development. I am happy and a bit proud to engage myself in sports 5 times a week, to eat healthy, surround myself with people I love and to not drift into any psychological dramas.
💙 Love Foundation
More than 10 years ago we started our own foundation to raise money for water-projects by organizing events and parties. We, the founders stepped back quite a while ago and it is amazing to see how things still move on. As you might remember - the people from Love Foundation organized a lovely festival in a castle this summer.
💌 Love Letter Institute
A good friend and mine came up with the idea to send creative postcards generated by AI directly connected to an online-printer. But of cause there is a naughty twist…
👹 Mask Off
Stefan Strumbel, a renown artist from my hometown, offered to use his truly incredible space for an exhibition. So I let this idea grow inside of me and hope to come up with a nice plan for next year.
🕊️ Roda com Robots
I am very happy to collaborate with Nadav Dagon, a very good friend of mein and very talented drummer on a new project called "Roda com Robots". We will co-create music and AI-visuals and hopefully get a release out soon.
🥝 Peter World
I would love to have the time to create a small web-shop where people can buy postcards with little drawings of Peter. I make an annual calendar which I hand out to friends - but I could do so much more…
⚔️ Phasma Collective
Last year a great collective called Phasma approached me to co-create a music and AI-video project together. I feel super bad, that I did not take the time to dive into this. I will still do that video. Promise!
🔴 Sekko Soziale
It's great to see that my friends who started Sekko Soziale are getting more and more successful. For each purchased bottle, they donate money to a program called Exit Deutschland. They help right-wing-radicals to leave their scene — and to start a new life without fascism and racism. I'm there to help with the overall design if needed.
🚀 Spacebirth 2
Finally the new website for our psychedelic sci-fi movie is online! Check it out here! Now I need to get the instagram account cleaned up and find a distributer. Very happy to have this exciting adventure wrapped up.
🌐 The People
Even though we officially closed down the company THE PEOPLE 3000 uG - we are still running it as a creative collective aka studio. I am currently developing the new website on which I will upload all my creative projects. More to come on this end.
🌀 Tunnel Visions
I am happy to still design a record covers from time to time for the Munich music label tunnel.visions. Doing the 360° visuals in the planetarium was super fun. Cannot wait to do that again.
🖥️ Ventana
The website for Ventana was released a month ago. Ventana produces super-high-quality LCD tiles with which you can fill whole walls in a modular way. We are still improving the website here and there. Also very grateful for the collaboration with Estudi Image who did all the amazing 3D renders.
👗 Weyhe
After years of development we almost finished the website for Weyhe a German high-class fashion label. Thank you Manus Nijhoff for all the amazing work!
Also there are some projects which are under disclosure and I can only talk about them once they are ready. 🤫
Thank you for taking the time to read through this.
If you have any questions about anything – let me know.
Always happy about a chat…
Much love,
Marius
