Storyteller, Director, Music & Video Artist
„I create immersive audiovisual worlds.“
Ich will unterhalten. Und dies clever auf qualitativ höchstem Niveau. Mit berührenden oder kontroversenThemen in faszinierenden, dichten Welten. Deswegen ist stets mein Ziel, kunstvolle und gleichzeitig kommerziell erfolgreiche Produktionen abzuliefern. Und dabei provoziere ich gerne! Denn nichts trifft mein Ziel weniger, als Langeweile und Beliebigkeit. Am Ende sind Film und Musik vor allem Übertragungsmedien für Leidenschaft, Spaß und Intelligenz. Meine Überzeugung und Herangehensweise an Projekte wurde mir mit Awards und Nominierungen vieler Medienpreise, wie VIVA Comet, ECHO, 1LIVE Krone oder der Deutsche Jugend Filmpreis bestätigt. Weil ich es so sehr liebe, zu erzählen und zu unterhalten. Weil ich liebe, immersive und eigensinnige Welten zu erschaffen, in denen sich der Zuschauer und/oder Zuhörer völlig verlieren kann.
Ich habe „Digitale Medien“ studiert und, neben meiner Selbstständigkeit, in und für Werbe- sowie Medienagenturen gearbeitet. Ich fühle mich in den meisten Medien zuhause und habe in diesen Bereichen schon professionell und erfolgreich gearbeitet: Drehbuch, Showrunner, Regie, Videoproduktion, Schnitt, Animation, VFX, Stopmotion, Musikproduktion, Komposition, Mixing, Live Performance; Artist Developement, App-Entwicklung, User Interface Design, Web- & Printdesign. Ich bilde mich stets weiter und liebe es, etwas Neues zu starten, mich wieder als neugieriger Anfänger zu fühlen und mit der Begeisterung eines Kindes zu schwimmen. Das bot mir bisher wertvolle Einblicke und Erfahrungen in enorm viele Bereiche, mit dessen Wissen ich mit Leichtigkeit Medien verknüpfe und Prinzipien übertragen kann – und somit aufregend Neues erschaffe.

VITA
Award-winning music producer and director Niels Reinhard was born in Heidelberg, Germany in 1987 and now lives in Mannheim. His creative spirit led him to directing his first short films at the young age of 15 and to starting his career as a DJ at 17. While studying digital media, Niels produced Germany’s very first social media based series in cooperation with a social networking platform for students. In 2010, he completed his bachelor’s degree and later that year, he was awarded the German Youth Film Prize for one of his short films. 2010 was also the year Niels and Tim Hofmann started “Laserkraft 3D”, an avant-garde electronic music live act. Their hit song put the duo on the international music map, appearing on different charts around the world, and it received more than 50 million views on YouTube. The song also received several awards, including the “Goldene Schallplatte” (Golden Record, Germany), a VIVA COMET prize for Best Party Song (German music television award), and three prizes awarded by the German music magazine RAVELINE (categories: Best Newcomer, Best Track, Most Annoying Track). Furthermore, it was nominated for an ECHO (Germany’s most important music award) and the 1LIVE KRONE. Niels Reinhard and Tim Hofmann toured Europe and played many of the most popular clubs as well as some of the biggest international festivals for dance and electronic music. In 2013, Laserkraft 3D was made the musical flagship act for Coca-Cola Germany’s summer campaign. In cooperation with Coca-Cola, they developed an interactive music video for the national ad campaign and were honored with a golden Effie Award in 2014. Niels is not only responsible for the duo’s musical output, but also produces and directs all of their music videos himself. Nominations for a VIVA COMET and an ECHO award for Best Video, as well as the jury award for Best Video at Frankfurt Music Fair (expert music award) are part of his success story as a producer and director. In 2014, Niels worked on the production team of an online TV channel named ‘Zuio.tv’, which was founded by German TV legend Frank Elstner and his son Thomas Elstner in cooperation with Axel Springer SE in Berlin. Niels Reinhard is currently working on different musical and audio-visual projects including an upcoming fictional series about DJing and electronic music. He is based in the heart of Berlin, Germany.
