“We have to go back!” – 10 Years Of LOST

First I thought “WTF?!”, and then “Wow, this is genius!”, and then I watched the end of the third season of LOST again. That one single sentence – “We have to go back!” – twist my mind in such a way, was something I had never seen in a tv series before. Well, after that there was something called “The …

Trailerwatch: 12 MONKEYS – The Series

A video night with friends. We are standing in the kitchen and drawing a timeline of 12 MONKEYS on the kitchen wall, trying to understand the time travel and discovering a plot hole. But my personal highlight of this evening was seeing LA JETEÉ by Chris Marker for the first time. There are not many films that have fascinated me in this …

From Scriptalicious to ineshaeufler.com

In February 2008 my first professional script consulting website went online – Scriptalicious.at. Now, almost 7 years later, things have changed. First, creativity stepped into my life, and I wrote the book TALKING COOKIES. And during the last months more and more companies approached me because they are interested about storytelling and emotional marketing for their products. I am not …

Be Creative 2014: Overwhelmed

I had to take a break from my daily creativity posting, because my day job is just too overwhelming at the moment. It includes working late and on the weekends, and I am just too exhausted to post something every day. As I don’t want this project to be something I have to do, but something fun that I want …

Be Creative 2014: Inspiration by Luke Pearson

Last week I got the book EVERYTHING WE MISS by Luke Peason. It is a story about loss, and missing people, forgetting memories and everything that you value emotionally in your life. It is probably one of the saddest stories I’ve ever read, and there is no happy ending. Luke Pearson explores loss on different levels: Losing someone who yo …

Be Creative 2014: Exploring Animation

Today I started to explore the animation tools in Photoshop. It will take some time until I get where I want to be, but this is the good thing about this year’s 365 project: I don’t have to deliver something that is not ready. It is about the creative process, not a “finished” result per day. So stay tuned until …

Be Creative 2014: The Dancing Fox

I am toying around with the blue linocut fox I made a few days ago. I want to animate a little sequence in Photoshop. It’s fun, and I am getting used to working with my new Wacom tablet (I never had a graphic tablet before. Very exciting!). Here is a little teaser:

Be Creative 2014: Hello, Vine!

I am going to get creative with the Vine app a little bit. I was searching the web for some inspiration by creative Vine users, but I could hardly find any. Creative Vine people, where are you? I stumbled upon this great account by Brock Davis. I really like his visual humor.    Here is my own Vine account. And …

Be Creative: Social Network Drawing

I am a lot on Facebook. Maybe I am a bit addicted, but on the other hand there are so many great links and activities from my friends that generate a constant flow of (mostly) interesting stuff. As I find it really hard to squeeze in focused time for drawing in my script consulting job schedule, I started doodling the …

Be Creative 2014: Inspiration by The New Yorker

Some years ago I subscribed to The New Yorker. In recent months I have sometimes thought about canceling it, because I have hardly time to read anything. But when I lose myself in one of the long, well written articles every few weeks, I cannot but extend the subscription again – for me this is simply one of the best …
