CLIPMANIA goes minature with lego brick films
CLIPMANIA combs Berlin's Streets for Fresh Fashion Trends
And CLIPMANIA goes live on Trueman TV
Brick Films

There are grown-up people out there who haven't lost their love for lego-bricks. They shoot little clips in a world where everything is made of bricks. They might reenact their favourite movie scenes or historic soccer games. It's always a lot of work, a horrible ordeal but the results are fantastic. That's why it's become a trend on the internet.

Pinus Hauser, Jonathan, Denecke and Milan Bolland are just a few of those who are still in touch with their inner child. They spend hours playing contentedly with lego figures in the confines of their broom cupboard film sets.
The stop motion technique which involves moving the figures slightly for every frame helps them to come alive. A webcam takes fifteen pictures for every second of film.
Despite humble beginnings, brick films have gained an increasly high profile. Cult moviemaker Michel Gondry tried his hand at the technique when he made a video forThe White Stripes.Internet Fashion Fresh off the Street

Styleblogs are popping up all over the internet. They're a kind of fashion diary, where users show what they like to wear in pictures or videos. The two makers of stilinberlin go a little beyond that because they go out and look for their models on the streets of Berlin. So the catwalk is everywhere.

Both passionate photographers, students Mary Scherpe and Benjamin Richter began their project two years ago after being inspired by similar blogs in Asia and the US, which attract some 30 thousand clicks a day. They hope the fashion they capture and post on their site will reflect Berlin's edgy identity.
The duo have amassed hundreds of photos and have clearly come a long way from the days that they would shyly take photos of people while hiding behind lamp posts. They now calmly stop well-dressed individuals and ask if they wouldn't mind posing for a quick snap!Twenty-Four Hour Coverage

Remember the movie The Truman Show? It was about a guy who was being filmed all the time without knowing it. His life was just one big show. That movie was ten years ago and now thanks to the digital revolution everyone can be his own Truman today. Marcel Kotzur from Berlin is doing just that.

The twenty-five year old began his unusual project in summer 2007 both as an experiment and business idea. Now he doesn't go anywhere without his film equipment; 2 cameras, 2 microphones, a UTMS modem and two laptop computers.
That's all he needs to broadcast himself live twenty four seven on his website Trueman TV. It costs nothing to watch but Marcel earns his money from sponsors and commercials.
Although he claims that it's been a lot of fun the project definitely comes with its inconveniences for example, sleeping with the light on, having to ask permission from everyone he meets to film them and finding a girlfriend. So why does he do it? Well Marcel Kotzur has a dream...
