After I left Parasol Island in late 2007 I created a new show reel with a nice intro and outro animation that I sent to the German post- and film production companies in 2008. I already knew Michael Klein and his animation company Virtual Republic and so I visited him personally to bring him my new reel. He was impressed by my intro animation and wanted me to create another intro and outro sequence for his company`s show reel.
Several days later I started to create style frames that showed my ideas. Right from the start of his company, Michael connected it with a kind of military style that had some Cuban revolutionary flavor to it.
He wanted me to use this theme and so we ended up showing a military parade of computer chips in the beginning and focusing on Michael as leader of Virtual Republic in the end. In addition we integrated the company`s key colours like black, yellow and grey and key
