Lifelong learning and education never stops

As a graduate in Philosophy and Psychology, lifelong learning was always a key part of my daily life with my passion for on videomaking and the simple desire to make better videos by studying the craft. This journey never stops and there is always more to learn, new fields to explore no matter how unrelated a topic might seem to videomaking. On a broader scale, through education the doors opened for me to leave my tiny hometown, go to study, go abroad and find what I'm truly passionate about and talented in. 

Educational institutions, ranging from esteemed German universities to non-profits and foundations are in search of a partner who comprehends the intricacies of their communication needs within the academic environment. Doodt Media proudly collaborates with educational entities, understanding the value they bring to individuals and society at large. I provide solutions tailored for science communication, drawing on over five years of experience working closely with universities. 

My commitment is to empower education as a cornerstone for advancing lives and contributing to a brighter future.

Dies Academicus 2022

Zukunftskolleg Research Award Ceremony 2022

Yuko Ulrich from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena is the first recipient of the new "Zukunftskolleg Research Award" of the University of Konstanz.
The Zukunftskolleg Research Award recognizes the scientific achievements of young researchers and supports them in further developing their personal profile.
​
The award ceremony took place on 15 July 2022 in the Kastaniengarten on Mainau Island.

Freedoms for Governance
As part of the Excellence Strategy, the University of Konstanz has decided to promote constant change through excellent corporate management. A building block for this is the promotion and further development of the scientific support staff. Projects from this target group are intended to strengthen the University of Konstanz's future viability and ability to renew itself.

Under the motto "creative.together", freedom for creativity was also opened up for employees who support science. The university would like to develop the creative potential of all employees and absorb a wide range of ideas and impulses.

Dies Academicus 2021

In close collaboration with the University of Konstanz I had the pleasure to work again on the Dies Academicus 2021.
Please note that this time the interviews and some of the material were not filmed by myself. 
​

Event Coverage for Kon.Screen Construction:
The Kon.Screen, a joint project of the #UniKonstanz, City of Konstanz and HTWG Konstanz with the kind support of Stadtwerke Konstanz, is now officially open!
The three black pentagons are a traveling media installation that interactively presents research projects in Konstanz. The Kon.Screen will be shown at different locations in Constance in the future. The first location is at the city garden in Konstanz near the council building. More information at:

The Human Performance Research Centre

This project was filmed by another videomaker and my role was to edit these four videos.
​

Dies Academicus 2020

In close collaboration with the University of Konstanz I had the pleasure to produce 6 videos about the award winners for the festival activity "Dies Academicus" to honor outstanding projects. 
​
For the festival act "Dies Academicus" to mark the end of the past academic year and the start of the new year the award of the university council went to the University of Konstanz as a whole.
On a short term notice we filmed the event of the announcement about the Excellence University Status on Friday 19.07.2019. The video was edited over the weekend, feedback implementation on monday an published on tuesday 23.07.2019.
Showing the welcome week at the University of Konstanz was a last minute project to capture the impressions of what is happening with the central goal to motivate freshmen to join the orientation week as the main starting point and to reduce the fears of new students to be lost in the beginning.
The Welcome Center of the University of Konstanz has been supporting international researchers and their families with the organisation of their stay in Konstanz since 2008. The team gives advice on all non-academic matters and provides our international trainees, visiting scientists and scholars with a single place to address all questions that arise during everyday life in a new hometown.

The voice overs are based on real reports from students and we developed the story around the five major fears students have before coming which are accommodation, paperwork, visa, language and social life. 
Kerstin Krieglstein is the new rector from the University of Konstanz and with the video we introduced her personally and professionally during the festivities of the "Dies Academicus". 

Instead of going for the classical talking head where she talks about herself we followed the simple question from a student or employee perspective:  "What is she as the new rector doing?". So we followered her for a few days to capture her impressions and work. 
On the 27.09.2018 two of the three Cluster-Initiatives were chosen to be funded under the framework of the "Excellence strategy from the country and counties" (Exzellenzstrategie des Bundes und der Länder).

The video was done within a week in collaboration with the marketing department from the University to celebrate the announcement and capture the moment.
