Packfilm Countdown & Cameras

    Dear patient friends,one of the main drives and energy rechargers during our super challenging and exhausting mission to SAVE PACKFILM has been the horror vision that all these legendary classic packfilm cameras will become obsolete. Thousands of beautifully crafted cameras are out there, desperately hoping for a bright future of packfilm. Many of them amongst the most professional cameras ever built, all of them design icons.With Polaroid and Fujifilm ceasing packfilm production, it is has become our RESPONSIBILTY...

Magic Words

Dear all,super busy and honestly in deep water I don't have too much time left for another blog entry that's why I decided to let someone else speak instead of me.Someone who recently sent me an amazing E-Mail out of the blue which really touched me deep inside because it describes exactly how I'm feeling the magic of packfilm - which I always have a very hard time to find the right words for. John did a great job in...

The Ultimate Test Shot

    Dear all,yes, of course my poor project manager Marli, the only one who really works day and night to bring some structure and professional organization into the crazy Supersense world, was right that it is NOT a good idea to schedule the ultimate Prototype Test Video Shooting just a few days before the planned Kickstarter launch. AND to save only 2 prototypes for this Video Shooting because of using all our other prototypes for 23 ideas and things...

Celebrating the BIG SHOT with Cheyenne Morrison

  Dear all,following last week's post about the magic and importance of packfilm cameras I'm more than happy to today celebrate a very special packfilm camera of no other kind: the legendary Big Shot Camera (one of its most legendary users might be Andy Warhol, who called this camera his pen and pencil and used it to create all his silk screened celebrity portraits). To support our Save Packfilm mission, Mr. Cheyenne Morrison (pictured above) - a passionate Australian instant...

Save Packfilm Superhero Nr. 8 :: Nafis "NITROGEN" Azad

  Dear all,the celebration of the 20x24 Studio Superheroes Collective would not be complete without the introduction of the youngest member: Nafis "NITROGEN" Azad. With his impressive background (engineering degree and a master of fine arts in photography) combined with slamming next generation superpowers, he upgrades the performance of his 2 "slightly" older superhero sidekicks by several degrees (best compared to the performance change when filling your VW with finest nitrogen).Among his ever expanding and still developing superpowers, I could...

SAVE PACKFILM STRATEGY :: STEP 1 & 2

  Dear friends, even if it took us more than 2 years to develop a waterproof strategy of how to really SAVE PACKFILM, it finally turned out that the perfect guideline for such a truly important mission can basically be found in any comic book:Step 1: You have to bring together THE WORLD`S MOST OUTSTANDING SUPERHEROES. Step 2:You have to create a secret HEADQUARTER, a real fortress of solitude, an office of coordination. Not just a place where these Superheroes can...

Budweiser, Burger & Gedankenfotografie :: Donnerstag, 12. Juli

Die Auswirkungen, die der Genuss mehrerer Flaschen Budweiser Bier haben kann, sind äußerst unterschiedlich. Einen der magischsten Effekte konnte gewiss der Amerikaner Ted Serios demonstrieren, dem es selbst unter strengster wissenschaftlicher Aufsicht wiederholt gelang, seine Gedanken auf Polaroid zu belichten. Autor, Künstler und Filmemacher Romeo Grünfelder hat über diesen schier unglaublichen, bis heute ungeklärten Casus ein ganzes Buch geschrieben und darin nicht nur die spannendsten Beweisfotos, sondern auch die abseitigsten Spekulationen von Skeptikern zusammengetragen, die sich an dem Fall bereits die...

Salonorchester Alhambra :: 26 Juni 2018

Wir freuen uns das Salonorchester Alhambra abermals im Palast willkommen zu heißen! Das Salonorchester Alhambra mit Hans Daffke - das sind zwölf schmucke Herren, die sich unter Qualen in ihre Schalen gezwängt, ihr Haupthaar gestutzt und gelmanipuliert sowie den blassen Teint aufgelegt haben, um die großen Schlager der 20er und 30er Jahre in wahrhaft betörender Manier zu praktizieren.Dabei haben sie nur eine Absicht: Ihr Publikum zum Quietschen und die Tanzfläche zum Kochen zu bringen. Nach einem gefühlten Jahrhundert ohne dem Salonorchester Alhambra gibt...
