Actually, the idea was very simple: if I want to learn After Effects, I have to do it right. And by right, I mean to create an entire film that must be (joke!) as good as the Oscar-nominated short film "Balance" by Christoph und Wolfgang Lauenstein. So take Kafka's parable “An Every Confusion” with his almost formulaic story and mix it with Stockhausen's confusing background noise. Now just find another setting for Kafka's story, and then let's go into the endless expanse of artistic experimentation. To my surprise, the film was ultimately selected for the Hessen Talents at the Berlinale 2019 and was featured at the Berlinale 2019, whereupon the University of Music and Performing Arts Frankfurt (HfMDK) decided to interpret the film with their own musical rendering. Moreover, the short film was shown at the Exground Festival 31 and even abroad.
