Rimowa Next Destination

In 2012, Rimowa took a JU52 on its first transatlantic flight since 1937. The crew set off from Cologne on 18th June and crossed the Atlantic via Scotland, the Faro Islands, Iceland and Greenland to land in Iqaluit in Canada on 22nd. From there, they proceeded on a North America tour taking in Toronto, New York, Denver, L.A. and other great places to eventually arrive back in Cologne on 17th August. Some great video material was filmed en route.

 

Kölner Philharmonie

The relaunch of the Kölner Philharmonie website back in 2003/2004 was a successful attempt to combine accessibility with good design without compromising either. It was a challenging task to accomplish within the technical restrictions of that time, and one I am extremely proud of having achieved.

The project was supported by the LVR-Louis-Braille-Schule in Düren, and meeting the students there was a very rewarding experience for me.

I mainly prefer to draw "old-school" with pencil on paper but working with a tablet has its advantages too, and working for Sekt and the City is a lot of fun.

"Discover your Dark Side" was a halloween game created for Guinness. The game was entirely hand drawn and animated and subsequently programmed in Flash. It was real little highlight for me to get back to working with pencil and paper.

This cute series of short films for pre-school children was a very relaxing project and a lot of fun to work on.

I don't really like Werner, but I got to go to Saigon to work on this film, an experience I'm still talking about. Any topic you care to raise, I can retaliate with a "Well, when I was in Vietnam ..."

 

A Monkey's Tale

A Monkey's Tale (original: Le Château des singes) is a feature-length French animated film directed by Jean-François Laguionie.
It won the Award for Best Animated Feature Film at the 5th Kecskemét Animation Film Festival and the Hollywood Discovery Award at the Hollywood Film Festival 2000.
I started almost from scratch on this film and learned so much from some very talented people in the year I spent working on it.

The background images in this film are particularly impressive.

game portal
servitude

© Úna O'Connor

I had a cat called Tillman, whose uncontrollable appetite inspired the domain name for my hobby jump & run and arcade game development site. It was set up to imitate a virtual self-help portal for obese cats, which - due to a lack of computer literacy on the part of its target audience - eventually evolved into my actual website. Totally unprofessional, I just couldn't seem to bring myself to substitute the logo with an "Úna O'Connor" one.
