So we took the chance to do some activities during the period of the dismanteling at the Expo 2008 in Zaragoza. For sure a perfect place for an act and a statement. Everybody from Procon and Totems showed up in our special desinged t-shirts. It already looked like a demonstration when walking through the gates in the morning. With the help of Chmee (a Procon computer genius) we will soon be able to show you the movie we did. We had fun and enjoyed having a little break from work as the sun was shining like crazy. Peace one day, peace today, peace all days!

GOTCHA! Here is a snapshot of Frank (Totems CCO by the way) caught at his gaming session during work. He just passed level 16 and was about to break his son’s high score, when suddenly a client called… never mind: he pushed the PAUSE button and will continue next time! GAME ON! (by the way: the groupie in black is Claudia)

Last weekend the German Pavilion hosted the most improtant dude of the Expo! The mascot FLUVI came along and enjoyed his ride. Spanish Television and magazines reported about this highlight like crazy. The pavilion was crowded with journalists and photographers. Flashlights everywhere. But FLUVI survived.

That’s what we call “wasting time”! Have a look at Totems visual effects artist Andi wasting his time with nonsense. But, speaking for him, you sometimes need a little time-out. Otherwise you become frantic. Andi’s passion for SFX is deep in his greedy mind. Like you can see…

That’s how it looks like when a pretty girl passes by. Here at Totems we actually sit right on the streets. And during work many pedestrians are passing by. What we see is hilarious and beautiful, but sometimes also very frightning. The only annoying thing are the bloody translucent stripes on the windows. We wanted to tear them off, but this proposal was denied, unfortunately. Due to some damn copyright reasons…

This weekend was the most crowded since the Expo opening and the German Pavilion presents its new high-score: people had to wait up to 6,5 hours in line to get the excitement of our storytelling. SIX-PONIT-FIVE HOURS OF WAITING! Unbelivable. That’s what makes us very proud and happy but we also quastion: is it really so damn good? Well, it must be

That’s how it looks like when you are a popular guy! Last week Frank was the only boss in the studio. He had to decide many things and sometimes one phone wasn’t enough. There were times, when people needed an instruction right away… The cool thing: Frank obviously really enjoyed giving crazy conference calls…

At Totems there are some people that have known each other for decades. Some know each other so well, that they didn´t even care naming their kids the same way. Ulis & Bisis and Steffis kids spent some days in Zaragoza together and posed for the ultimate “name picture” on the Plaza Pilar. Louis and Louisa, Paulina and Paul!
