Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.   If you would like to share your thoughts, memories and condolences, please email &lt;a href="mailto:rememberingsteve@apple.com"&gt;rememberingsteve@apple.com&lt;/a&gt;" (Statement on &lt;a href="http://www.apple.com" target="blank"&gt;apple.com&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;My wife's MacBook seemed to have known what happened as it did not wake up again today. This is really a sad day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am interested in Apple since the time Steve Jobs returned to the company in the late 90s, for this was also the time I bought my first computer, an Apple G3 PowerMac. Since that time, I made it a habit to check out the latest news on apple in the morning. Today, this were bad news. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Steve Jobs made Apple a company with no compromise, creating such beautiful devices like the iMac, the Macbook Air and the iPhone. And since those things are part of my daily life, he kind of changed my life, too. With him an era has ended. I wish that apple is going to continue what he started, in his senses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;One more thing? Never again.

Due to this, I did some research concerning the City of New York. The scene should take place in the morning, and so I decided to choose a slightly yellow/green color appearance. In addition to that, I wanted to evoke the impression that the sun is beginning to displace the fog. You can see the result on YouTube. The image with the yellow cabs can be seen in the official music video of Xavier Naidoo &amp; Naturally 7.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The movie came to german cinemas in october 2010. It became one of the most succsessful german movies in 2010 and is now nominated for "Deutscher Filmpreis".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d5ieiQnwJS0/TY8_kazQBUI/AAAAAAAAB9s/X7I3_uIX48k/s1600/11_MMantel_KdT2010_ProdStill_lowShot.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:top; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 170px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d5ieiQnwJS0/TY8_kazQBUI/AAAAAAAAB9s/X7I3_uIX48k/s400/11_MMantel_KdT2010_ProdStill_lowShot.jpg" border="0" alt="Brooklyn Bridge Tiere in New York, Produktionsentw&amp;uuml;rfe f&amp;uuml;r Die Konferenz der Tiere Animals United""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588755557492196674" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Wwp_cotoFcY/TY8_kHAYLrI/AAAAAAAAB9k/BN1YKWAGzgE/s1600/11_MMantel_KdT2010_ProdStill_Cabs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:top; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 170px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Wwp_cotoFcY/TY8_kHAYLrI/AAAAAAAAB9k/BN1YKWAGzgE/s400/11_MMantel_KdT2010_ProdStill_Cabs.jpg" border="0" alt="Strom der Tiere in New Yorker Stra&amp;szlig;en, Yellow Cabs Taxi Taxen, Produktionsentw&amp;uuml;rfe f&amp;uuml;r Die Konferenz der Tiere Animals United""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588755552178548402" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j134lrTWo3Y/TY8_j9vYQJI/AAAAAAAAB9c/kGNqItBLlPE/s1600/11_MMantel_KdT2010_ProdStill_BirdsArmy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:top; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 170px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j134lrTWo3Y/TY8_j9vYQJI/AAAAAAAAB9c/kGNqItBLlPE/s400/11_MMantel_KdT2010_ProdStill_BirdsArmy.jpg" border="0" alt="Armee der V&amp;ouml;gel H&amp;auml;userschluchten in New York, Produktionsentw&amp;uuml;rfe f&amp;uuml;r Die Konferenz der Tiere Animals United"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588755549691330706" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n4egrhoxvDA/TY8_jaAWTeI/AAAAAAAAB9U/g40bcViBIHc/s1600/11_MMantel_KdT2010_ProdStill_Bridge.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:top; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 170px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n4egrhoxvDA/TY8_jaAWTeI/AAAAAAAAB9U/g40bcViBIHc/s400/11_MMantel_KdT2010_ProdStill_Bridge.jpg" border="0" alt="Einmarsch der Tiere nach New York, Produktionsentw&amp;uuml;rfe f&amp;uuml;r Die Konferenz der Tiere Animals United"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5588755540098829794" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anfang 2008 bat mich Holger Tappe, Chef der Ambient Entertainment Film Produktion, Bilder für einen Teaser Trailer für den neuen 3D-Film „Konferenz der Tiere“ zu entwerfen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Im Trailer sollte gezeigt werden, wie die Tiere New York einnehmen. Die Szenerie sollte am Morgen spielen, und so entschied ich mich für eine eher gelblich/grünliche Farbstimmung. Ich wollte den Eindruck erwecken, dass die Sonne im Begriff ist, den Nebel zu verdrängen. Das Ergebnis lässt sich auf YouTube ansehen. Das Bild mit den Yellow Cabs hat es immerhin noch in das Musikvideo zum offiziellen Titelsong mit Xavier Naidoo &amp; Naturally 7 („Wild vor Wut“) geschafft..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;„Die Konferenz der Tiere“ war der zweiterfolgreichste deutsche Film 2010 und ist aktuell für den deutschen Filmpreis nominiert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/tZy8Oo_olWo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" width="400" height="255" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NQEuFM3IOnA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4000727426508631546-2224064313847295877?l=michaelmantel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://michaelmantel.blogspot.com/feeds/2224064313847295877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://michaelmantel.blogspot.com/2011/03/production-stills-for-animals-united.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4000727426508631546/posts/default/2224064313847295877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4000727426508631546/posts/default/2224064313847295877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://michaelmantel.blogspot.com/2011/03/production-stills-for-animals-united.html' title='Production Paintings For &quot;Animals United&quot; | Produktionsillus für &quot;Die Konferenz der Tiere&quot;'/><author><name>Michael Mantel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08103297041040323275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f8xBMTkHOxc/SwbCrS6WMuI/AAAAAAAABiU/hvmtuXKpat8/S220/LACHHAFT_icon2009_80x80px.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Itc5Y27TOJI/TY88A9wCHHI/AAAAAAAAB9M/2z2SMQ0mOIU/s72-c/11_MMantel_KdT2010_ProdStill_Eagles.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000727426508631546.post-1160622416782179246</id><published>2011-02-07T11:44:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2011-02-07T12:29:03.602+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='News'/><title type='text'>Exhibition | Ausstellung</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.gesichtverleih.de/download/Flyer_Aquarelle_Lueneburg.pdf" target="blank"&gt;&lt;img style="float:top; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 557px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_f8xBMTkHOxc/TU_ND6Og_SI/AAAAAAAAB8M/3ZfCwoomdo0/s1600/Preview_Flyer_Aq_Lg_260px.jpg" border="0" alt="Austellung Aquarelle von Michael Mantel L&amp;uuml;neburg vom Wasser aus L&amp;uumlneburg in Wasser und Farbe Rathaus Scharnebeck M&amp;auml;rz 2011"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5570896731134033186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;My first exhibition of watercolor paintings ("Impressions Of Luneburg") is going to take place during march 2011.

The client was Continental, manufacturer of tires. The commercial was made for social networks. In order to limit financial risks, there is often only a small budget for this kind of projects. Due to that I kept the storyboard simple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can watch the &lt;a href="http://nr2.notreal.de/2010/continental-spot-zur-social-media-kampagne/" target="blank"&gt;commercial&lt;/a&gt; here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich erinnere mich gerade, dass ich vor ein paar Monaten ein Storyboard für die Garbsener Agentur &lt;a href="http://www.firstclassservice.de/" target="blank"&gt;FirstClassService&lt;/a&gt; gezeichnet habe. Auftraggeber war der Reifenhersteller Continental, der fertige Spot lief u.a. in diversen sozialen Netzwerken. „Virales Marketing“ heißt das Zauberwort. Um das Risiko überschaubar zu halten, wird bei solchen Projekten oft mit knappem Budget kalkuliert. Ein einfaches Storyboard reichte daher auch vollkommen aus...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier könnt Ihr Euch den &lt;a href="http://nr2.notreal.de/2010/continental-spot-zur-social-media-kampagne/" target="blank"&gt;Spot&lt;/a&gt; ansehen.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4000727426508631546-1650312573473392600?l=michaelmantel.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://michaelmantel.blogspot.com/feeds/1650312573473392600/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://michaelmantel.blogspot.com/2010/08/storyboard.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4000727426508631546/posts/default/1650312573473392600'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4000727426508631546/posts/default/1650312573473392600'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://michaelmantel.blogspot.com/2010/08/storyboard.html' title='Storyboard'/><author><name>Michael Mantel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08103297041040323275</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f8xBMTkHOxc/SwbCrS6WMuI/AAAAAAAABiU/hvmtuXKpat8/S220/LACHHAFT_icon2009_80x80px.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000727426508631546.post-6169970104159969170</id><published>2010-03-21T16:06:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2010-08-05T09:57:02.487+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='free Work | freie Arbeiten'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Illustration'/><title type='text'>Eurovision Song Contest | Unser Star für Oslo</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f8xBMTkHOxc/S6ZORPP3W0I/AAAAAAAABsA/HBPSw42RWAc/s1600-h/10_Lena_USFO.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:top; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_f8xBMTkHOxc/S6ZORPP3W0I/AAAAAAAABsA/HBPSw42RWAc/s400/10_Lena_USFO.jpg" border="0" alt="Michael Mantel Illustration Lena Meyer-Landrut Unser Star f&amp;uuml;r Oslo Eurovision Song Contest Grand Prix Zeichnung Grafik Bild"id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451130457036380994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The german contribution for the "Eurovision Song Contest", that takes place in Oslo in May 2010, is Lena Meyer-Landrut from Hanover.

Politisches Engagement gehört nicht unbedingt zu meinen herausragenden Stärken, aber mir gefiel die Aufgabenstellung, ein Piraten-Maskottchen zu entwerfen. Und da die Ziele dieser Organisation offensichtlich nicht schlechter sind als die der Parteien, die uns in den letzten Jahren regiert haben, kann ich es auch mit meinem Gewissen vereinbaren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wenn Euch der tapfere kleine Pirat gefällt, dann würde ich mich riesig freuen, wenn Ihr für Ihn abstimmt.
