Shot as part of the experimental German low-budget digital feature film series 'Radikal digital'. The other films are Junimond (2002), Halbe Miete (2002) and Narren (2003). All films were produced by Ute Schneider and Wim Wenders and financed by the Filmstiftung NRW.
"Egoshooter (2004) is probably the most radical of the 'Radikal digital' series," said director Oliver Schwabe, who teamed up with fellow Academy of Media Arts (KHM) graduate Christian Becker to make this EUR 380,000 digitally-shot film for Cologne-based production outfit Road Movies Factory.
"Oliver operates the objective camera and the subjective one is held by the 'Egoshooter', 'Tom Schilling'," producer Ute Schneider explained. "Both are using Sony DCR-TRV 900 Mini-DV cameras, so there won't be any change in the visual quality of the footage."
