Unbekanntes Sektorformat

In Season 4 of Anderecast Helga began producing her own episodes alone. Geräuschkulisse became a finished project and maurus (who later became one of the backbones to Unbekanntes Sektorformat) joined the family. All good things come to an end and as the lives of everyone involved were changing it became clear that it was time to move on beyond the show.

My favourite show is Sauerkraut, Pizza & Underwear (Ceven and Helga) because it is a good example of what anderecast.com was all about: talking about daily life things but by doing that showing the absurdness of it all and breaking open fixed ideas. Everything was possible. Playing with the borders between art and random farce provokes and inspires me. I also liked the contact-encouraging effect, like people that start interacting with us as they passed by coincidence, that went out from us going into the park or an other public space and starting to do our thing. Anderecast was also a nice platform for showing the evolving of the bits of creative life in Berlin as how we live them, like the building and finally opening of the Geräuschkulisse. I enjoyed the most, as in cozy-factor, the recording evenings for the radio show: just randomly talking about stuff that occupies one…

HELGA HOME ALONE

| download .mp4 version here |

So that is what happens if you leave a beginner home alone with your camera and go on vacation. I got inspired to finish a ‘horror movie’ before Ceven got back home. It was meant as a surprise from his best student…;) Besides filming it all by myself – only for the last scene i had to find a partner in crime – i started to play around with the editing program. It’s not brilliant editing work, it’s just trying out some things and see what’s coming out of it. For that i like it a lot!…and you can see how scary our apartment was when you’re left there all alone! MUHARRRRR! -Helga Jäckel

WELCOME TO HELL!

I got a green screen for my birthday from Helga in 2007. For whatever reason it became very urgent to make a 1950’s B-horror film about going to Hell. Helga and I needed some help in shooting. I knew that maurus did photography so I asked him to help in the production. He ended up making a cameo in the film. -Ceven Knowles

YOUR BODY MILK

maurus came to help us in later productions. Eventually we found ourselves in a position to evolve, and evolve, and evolve… This particular video was a satire on using sex to sell ordinary things in commercials. Germans refer to body lotion as body milk which in english sounds a bit dirty. I thought to exploit this language difference and created the brand: YOUR. If I would do this again I’d change the name to a more German spelling like: JOR. -Ceven Knowles

Anderecast in his Season 3 graduated to being a real variety show. Our audience grew into the tens of thousands per episode. The show became a full-time (albeit non-paying) job. We went to Rome, got a green screen, documented the building of Geräuschkulisse, hunted Nazis, quoted German literature, sang a hymn, danced disco in animal costumes, watched Sockie become an alcoholic, explored existentialism, and went to Switzerland and Prague.

When Anderecast first started it was a wonderful pastime that turned out to become the biggest project I’ve ever been involved in. I learned how to use a camera, the first steps in editing and acting. Ceven helped me step by step to get into it, also by giving me a camera for my birthday: thank you, best present ever!

The flow of creativity seemed to be endless and while we were sitting in the kitchen drinking wine the ideas for the next shows just jumped at us. As I’m looking at the videos now, lots of nice and emotional memories come to me.

These were definitely some of the best moments in my life!
Thank you Ceven and all the others that took part!

Now he asks to pick one episode… that’s pretty hard!
One that I always liked was The Green Screen. First of all, The Green Screen changed the quality of the videos and second I gave it to him for his birthday… joking apart, I always liked the music Ceven wrote for it and it shows the development of the videos… from that moment on we were able to put the characters wherever we wanted to! In heaven or hell!

There is a video on insanefilms.com with a woman who blows out a candle by queefing at it. I was so impressed with her skills that we had to make a video response.

While Season 1 was about learning how to put the show together, Anderecast Season 2 was about experimentation with genres. We did a few documentary style pieces, THE MAKING OF FRAU HELGA PART 1, a Messer Chups concert, ADVENT, THE BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF HOMOSEXUALITY, and some walking and talking around the city of Berlin. We also started a little series called MICROMINIMAL SEKTORFORMAT in which the video had to be at about 1 minute of something completely simple. Sockie made a second appearance with Madge Weinstein from Yeast Radio, Helga told the story of Sleeping Beauty, and we learned a bit about the declension of the masculine German article in DER STUHL, DIE STÜHLE with special guest Anita Murphy.

TRANNY TALK

| download .mp4 video here |

A friend of mine, Richard Bluestein has a show called Yeast Radio in which he plays the role of Madge Weinstein a fat middle-aged jewish lesbian. The show has a giant cast of characters I can’t keep up with. On one particular show they were talking about a MTF transsexual who criticised Yeast Radio for “trying to get famous off the backs of trannys”. I thought that was a very funny thing to say and if it could work for Yeast Radio maybe then we might try it that way with Anderecast. I wanted to get a little more attention for the show and this was meant to be someone what of a sarcastic joke.

I had my camera at work and started taping as if it were to be a normal day-in-the-life Anderecast episode. I told Helga to be prepared to make a show when I got home and to just improvise with it. Once there we jumped into new characters and the result is TRANNY TALK. The effort worked and we got quite a bit of attention for it.
