Screenshot showing Roccwell featuring his Mixtape-Collection from the 90s 

Check out the new All Coasters video "90s Cassettes & Backpacks". I filmed a few scenes with producer Roccwell featuring his huge collection of classic mixtapes which they edited into the official video.



Here's the official video information:

All Coasters is a newly formed multi-national crew consisting of wordsmith Mickey Boston (Canada), technical wizard DJ Case (Wales/UK) and upcoming beatmaker Roccwell (Munich/Germany).

The name All Coasters refers to the fact that Rap music is universal and worldwide - so is the crew with its members and album featurings from all over the globe.

Their upcoming album "The Cycle" contains 16 powerful Boom Bap tracks. Dope beats, ill cuts and sharp lyrics form a package 90s Rap fans will love.

Featured are legendary Craig G (Queens, NY/Juice Crew), Melo Malo Paulino, Empuls, Peet Caliber, Regimental Oneton and Mr. Greycloudz.

Several video singles will accompany the release of the album – starting with the visual for the song "90s Cassettes & Backpacks", an ode to the Golden Era of Hip Hop.

Screenshot: Roccwell feat. Empuls & DJ Jaffa - Apostle of Dope

Munich beatmaker Roccwell recently produced a new song called "Apostle of Dope" featuring Virginia´s own Empuls (Man Bites Dog Records/Stone Maple Music Works) and Dj Jaffa from Wales. Empuls recorded some quick video footage of himself, so did DJ JAFFA...

Rocwell and I took some time editing and putting the pieces together to form a grimey underground music video matching the goldenera-boombap-vibe of this song. Checkt it out, and please share to support ;)

Music Video: Roccwell feat. Born Unique & DJ Case

I recently produced a music video out of some stills for a song by ROCCWELL feat. BORN UNIQUE & DJ CASE. We added a lot of distractions and even a handmade analog VHS effect to fit the mood of this boombap song. I hope you like it. Please like and share this song to support ROCCWELL & BORN UNIQUE!




Official press release:
"After releasing „Mic Sound Nice“ featuring Ruste Juxx, upcoming Staten Island spitter Dro Pesci and DJ Modesty in 2015, this time Munich/Germany based beatmaker Roccwell teams up with well respected Born Unique and DJ Case for his new single “Let It Go”.

Heavy drums, dark samples, Born Unique´s distinctive voice and DJ Case´s razor-sharp cuts are the ingredients for a meal Underground Hip Hop fans should not be missing out on.
For the future, Roccwell will be cooking up even more for those who love 90s boombap as he is currently working on an album with his crew Allcoasters (with DJ Case and Canadian rapper Mickey Boston) which will also feature Craig G, Empuls, Melo Malo Paulino and many more.

New song by ROCCWELL - MICKEY BOSTON - THE JUNGLE - feat. CRAIG G (CUTS BY CASE)

ROCCWELL x MICKEY BOSTON - THE JUNGLE - FEAT. CRAIG G (CUTS BY CASE)

Munich based producer @ROCCWELL is realeasing quite a few underground hiphop gems with various US artists these days. This is the cover artwork I did for his latest online release featuring Mickey Boston, Craig G (Juice Crew) and DJ Case. Make sure to check out the song on youtube and please help him spread the word. This is some good oldfashioned boombap hiphop with a ROCCWELL-touch to it!

Excerpt from press info:
"Craig G, heavyweight legend comes together with Mic-Key Boston and Munich-based producer Roccwell on their latest offering entitled “The Jungle”. Mic-Key Boston and Roccwell combine together once again after the release of "Bill Cosby Sweaters" on their duo single which also features cuts by CASE.

Dropping on a hardbody Roccwell production, the German producer customized the beat for the MicKey Boston and Craig G project. Both emcees remain undeniably fervent on bringing about conscious awareness concerning current global crisises effecting the greater "jungle" we reside in. Honoured to bring about Queensbridge legend Craig G to the fore, Roccwell moves forward with his gritty boombap production smoothly and ruggedly complemented by the cuts of DJ CASE. Roccwell brings about his trademark boombap sound in order to compliment the track’s revolutionary concept."

Side by Side Comparison AVCHD versus XAVC S on Sony RX100 III

This is just a quick side by side comparison of the two file formats of Sonys RX100 III. This is not serious test, I just tried the different formats on a quick walk to check if there is a big difference. On first sight I would say XAVC gives better details and bit more dynamic range. This also results in a bigger filesize for XAVC clips. Both Scenes are shot at 1/50 f8 ISO 400 at 50p (28M for AVCHD, 50M for XAVCS). The difference is noticable especially on the ground, comparing the sticks. At about 00:30 in the video there is a digital zoom to 200%. The sides switch at about 00:45.

Method Man and Redman Live in Munich, December 2012

I made a short slideshow from some pictures I took at a Method Man & Redman concert in Munich. Shot with a Canon 500d and the cheap 50mm 1.8 lens, hence the grain. But the atmosphere was kind of grainy too, so the photos match pretty well I guess. The music I used is from youtube.com/muars who kindly hooked me up with this beat.

Portfolio Update

BTS - Out shooting sunrise on a foggy morning back in 2011.

I recently updated my portfolio. There are a few new images in the opening slideshow and I added 3 categories: Events, Landscape and Portrait. 

BTW: Flickr came out with a new design about a week ago and I really enjoy the new look. I started on flickr back in 2009 and I still upload images every now and then, perhaps more often again in the future. 

If you're on flickr too, let's connect there, here is my profile: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbv

QUICK and DIRTY: cheap DIY flash gel for canon speedlite 430EXII from plastic bottle

I recently had to improvise a cooling gel for my canon flash on location and a blue plastic bottle came in handy. I found out that these handmade gels are pretty durable and you can get various color variations from different soft drinks. I made a short video to show you how I cut the gel to fit the flash. Below you can see a portrait in which I used this very gel for the backlight.

BTS: Umbrella left speedlite; backlight right flash with selfmade "cool" gel; both on manual, radio triggered. camera: f/7.1, 0.3s, 70mm, ISO 800; shot outside. Flash on shutter opening, then moved the camera upwards to the dark evening sky to achieve the blurry-blue bleeding in the frame, thus the slow shutter.

insight: "reverb" on flickr

"reverb"

I uploaded this picture ("reverb") on flickr on June 24, 2011. According to their rating system this is the "most interesting" picture in my photostream. By now it has been viewed over 2700 times, more than 200 people count this image to their favorites and over 30 flickr users left a comment so far. Not a big deal but I really appreciate that. I found out that tumblr plays an important role here. Many people shared it on their tumblr blogs, others re-shared it and so on. So a lot of traffic comes from there.

I visited this location a few times during the last years. Every once in a while when I drive by this area I stop to check the view. It is only a short walk to get there so you can easily do it "on the fly". I marked the spot on the flickr map, just in case you are interested.

I really enjoy fog as an element in landscape photography... fog is a friend ;)

This image got featured today as "Photo of the Day" on http://www.solifestyle.com/, a New York based fashion, art and photography blog. Check them out.

QUERDENKER Awards 2012 at BMW World Munich

In November 2012 I took some pictures at the "QUERDENKER Awards" in Munich, Germany. The QUERDENKER Club is a german idea-creativity-network with over 300000 members. Every year courageous creative minds and innovative companies that path new ways are honored with an award. Among the guests were Michael "Bully" Herbig, Sky du Mont, Marcel Reif and other leading figures of the german media landscape.

The "QUERDENKER Awards" took place in the BMW World in Munich which is known for its modern architecture.

Michael "Bully" Herbig - a starving artist?

Michael Herbig is a renowned German comedian, actor, film director and author. He was awarded at the 2012 "Querdenker Award" in Munich for his extraordinary achievements. Right before the ceremony I captured a funny "Bully-Moment":

The plenary hall of the World Conference Center in Bonn during the speech of Auma Obama at the SusCon 2012.

On 27-28 November I was assigned as a photographer for the SusCon 2012, the international conference on sustainable business and consumption.
