Lights, camera… wait, is that a real system or a prop? 

Welcome to mostlyAWESOME devLABS; the slightly unhinged, deeply obsessive, and suspiciously overengineered playground where movie props stop pretending and start performing!

We have built this for you!

While other productions are busy slapping green text on a black screen and calling it “hacking,” we took it personally. devLABS is our answer: a growing repository of custom-built software, physical mockups, and downright ridiculous devices designed to make on-screen tech feel real. Not “movie real.” Actually real.

Need a radar app that doesn’t just look cool but behaves like it could track something? Done.
A lab console that boots, glitches, logs, and reacts like it has secrets? Obviously.
A prop device that actors can actually use instead of aggressively tapping nonsense? We built that too.

Everything in devLABS is tailor-made – optimized for specific devices, scenes, and cinematic shots where authenticity matters.

Because nothing kills immersion faster than an actor confidently typing on a keyboard that isn’t even plugged in.

And yes, we know. It’s overkill…
That’s kind of the point!

So if you’ve ever paused a movie just to cringe at a fake UI… relax. We’re fixing that. One absurdly detailed prop at a time.

mostlyAWESOME devLABS — because “good enough for the audience” was never good enough for us.

Collecting sounds!

We spent the last few days out and about with various multitrack recorders and a director’s viewfinder, sampling the right sounds for our film.

It was a crazy amount of work in the cold and deep snow, but we pulled it off.

The recordings are in the can now and will soon be put to their final use, as FX for several scenes we’ll shoot in front of a bluescreen and then fill out visually in UE5, and audibly with those FX recordings as well.

And just as a side note, it was damn creepy in some of the places!

New Script: Looking for a voice actress

I’ve got an awesome new script right here. After months of perfecting the props, we’re finally ready to roll with the test shots for “Hi, I’m Bob.” 

I’ll be using parts of the footage for an article on large-format film, a kind of sneak preview, seen through a few creative detours.

Over the next few weeks, every ounce of my energy, every drop of my heart and soul, is going into this project.

This… this is going to be one incredible movie!

By the way: we’re still looking for an additional voice actress! Someone who can deliver English with a captivating yet cool, bureaucratic German accent, rounding out the story and giving Bob a compelling counterpart.

Age range: 21 to 60.

Location doesn’t matter, even if’ you’re abroad. We’ll send you a recording kit along with the script, and you can send us your takes as soon as you have them. And if you need any help with the recording, I’ll come over and we’ll do it together.

Interested? Just send me an email, or use whatsapp to text me!

You found a monkey? – Let’s take a look…

Fine, but what is this all about? Why am I here and what is happening? – That’s kind of what you’re about to say, right?

Give me a second, and I’ll explain the monkey business right away…

You’ve been walking down the street, until you found one of those stickers, and I guess you tried to get the free stuff by scanning the QR-code, which brought you here, and afterwards to this message here, right?

As you already might have noticed, you’ve been promised the world if you just click, but you didn’t get anything in exchange! You only had to watch a stupid video with monkeys. Well, I’m here to change that!

I’m a professional photographer, as you can see here, and thus…

2 professional portraits + retouching * – 100% free of charge!

* Technical details: [ 2 prints in 148 x 100 mm + digital photos as TIFF. ]

And in detail: We make those portraits right at your place or any other location you might prefer. I will pop up with my assistant, and soon you’ll be in posession of some of the best portraits out there!

You can use them for social media for example, as super high quality profile pictures.

Or: and you need to ask me before I’m on my way to you – you can get a set of professional portraits with a white backdrop and professional retouching for example (the kind you need for passports), all done on location and in under an hour.

How do I claim the prize?

So you found one, and want to claim your portraits? Just send me a message via Whatsapp, with your name and location, and we’ll figure something out!

Good luck everyone, and for those who already got lucky – Ooh ooh ah ah!

Edit: This was awesome, but we’re done now, at least in Germany. Next we’ll be monkeying around in the Netherlands!

New structures, and old stuff…

We’ve moved the news archive to a new structure that’s easier for readers to navigate – so far, so good!

However, we had to start almost from scratch to ensure the news page looks clean and organized. The “old” news can be found right here, and this link will remain available permanently until we find a better way to migrate the older posts.

Thank you for your patience, and I hope you continue to enjoy exploring my work!

Clash of whatever

Original post: [ Posted on October 4th 2025 by Édgar ]

Urban Warfare – that’s the title, even though it doesn’t really refer to a conventional war. It’s about the clash of cultures that has been waged for decades with increasing brutality and determination. Originally, the series consisted of just two images I created for someone in Mexico; they’re now framed and hanging in an office. However, the subject felt too important to let it gather dust, so I went on to translate other pivotal incidents into visual form.

A step in between…

[ Original post: Posted on July 27th 2025 by Édgar ]

I’m done with one job. Quite nice, but I also started shooting test footage for a new project. Which puts us straight back in action without any kinda break, and this might become exhausting in no time. But I’m so keen on trying some interesting things for the first time ever, it doesn’t bother me at all to lack free time. Now I got the option to shoot what I want, and make the scenes look exactly the way I imagine them, that’s pretty awesome!

There isn’t much more I could tell you at the moment, but I sure will post updates on the project as soon as it materializes! But of course there’s a catch, the flick contains a lot of explicit stuff, and will be declared as R-Rated / 18+ this means we won’t be able to post testfootage. But we will give our best to make a teaser cut with no age restrictions, no matter how dumb this might turn out to look.

You’re the audience, thank god I don’t have to watch the cut.

Edit: Just because I‘ve been asked multiple times this week already: no, we won‘t shoot porn. Totally different genre.
