a maze. / berlin 2026

this year oda tilset and i made a new jingle and awards assets. since they want to reuse the same videos, i decided not to upload the videos that will be reused but you can watch the ones that i'd need to update for the future events. (i.e. those videos are only for 2026)

it features additional footage by tim rogers, additional texture footage (watermelon) by beho and komitsu.

here are a little snippets from the jingle:

this time, i used render farm for the first time and i'm very pleased with render farm. i also made a lot of changes in my workflow and i'm looking forward to working in this new workflow.

i also made some assets for the festival default videos. the video above demonstrates error screens and stingers. this time, i asked scott polhemus to write a lot of text. so this is basically his work and it's beautiful.

smell-o-reality (infomercial)

another infomercial i made for a maze. with scott polhemus featuring a fan art for the film i was quite obsessed with for the couple of years, sweet smell of success.

joystick throne & jester stick remote (infomercial)

one of the infomercial (for the context, see vanityracer dishwasher) i made with scott polhemus. since i couldn't really think of flamingo ideas (we do have a few flamingo/pink ideas though but they need some work), i almost went for making ads for clowns. we didn't in the end (but that doesn't mean we won't do that in the future) but this remained. i really wanted to sell a jester stick.

vanityracer dishwasher (infomercial)

i made a few new infomercials for a maze. with scott polhemus and this is one of them. those infomercials are kind of like easter eggs and i didn't see all of them during the festival but it was fun to do make them as this is what i like making with scott. this time, i only had a few days to make them so my scope was quite limited but hopefully we'll make more in the future! btw we had a meeting a month before or so before i made the video and this was the idea that made me feel alive and well.

a maze. 2024 countdown videos.

this year, as we are expecting a big festival, we decided to bring back the submission deadline countdown to remind people how many days they have left to submit their work to a maze./berlin festival. i had about nearly 3 weeks to make them and really enjoyed being able to do more than i did in the past.

jan-feb 2024.
