The Daily News

Animation
The daily project “Tagesschau” was a spontaneous idea of mine to make film images (frames) infinitely scalable using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). When the script was finished, the Tagesschau news program was on. It must have been 8:15 p.m. Central European Time.
Using the open source program ffmpeg, I combined the frames converted to SVG format and edited the clip with cinerlerra, the professional Linux editing program. I put the scenes together for the animation and sent everything to my brother Eric. It took less than two hours for him to send me back the soundtrack, which matched the images perfectly.
The animated film “Die Tagesschau” points out that politicians never provide us with solutions to problems. If you let them do their thing, everything will eventually blow up in your face. If you want change, start with yourself, and if you are successful (in every respect), you will automatically influence your environment. Politicians recognize and pick up on such trends in order to get elected and enjoy a carefree life from then on. This takes work, which is why they prefer the population to remain rigid, unable to come up with their own ideas and thus create trends. But this leads to politicians doing or not doing whatever suits them, which makes everything worse, more precarious, and ultimately blows everything up, which doesn’t bother top politicians much because they are not affected by it at all.
Conclusion: The population must tell them what to do, never the other way around.
