A german broadcast station commissioned this production, in order to demonstrate how effectively manipulated images can mislead the viewer. To do this the clip was sandwiched into the running programme as a simulated newsworthy interruption for breaking news: the famous frauenkirche in munich is on fire. As a result viewers called the fire department all night long to get some more information. The following day the story filled the headlines of the munich newspapers. Thus the initial goal was achieved.

As only few parts of the berlin castle have remained, this cg-work (flyaround) was generated to reconstruct the entire complex and to give an impression of what it used to look like. The tv-production served as a basis for discussions on whether or not to actually rebuild the castle.

The model was build by Silke Matthaeus
