As part of a series of occupational safety videos for the product design workshops at Fachhochschule Potsdam, this video project focused on arc and gas welding safety. It marked the first unofficial project of SchnickSchnack! Productions, later founded by Katharina Brackemann and myself. Under the supervision of audio/video teacher Jan Schütze and workshop manager Anne Schütze, who also provided the script, we aimed to create a video that balanced humor and accessibility with clear, informative content. The challenge was to make the video engaging without compromising its instructional purpose.
I created the storyboard as well as directed the shoot, with Katharina operating the primary camera and Vicky Calov managing the second camera and lighting. Ahmad handled sound recording, while Marta Carlesso starred as the lead actress, supported by Anne Boenisch and Andreas Schultz as stunt doubles. Post-production was a collaborative effort, with Gesine Thränhardt completing the final cut.
