Information:
CruCoCo Pictures evolved out of the CruiseControlCorporation Limited (CCC Ltd.) company. Like RSV had its subsidiary companies, i decided to go the same way with CCC Ltd. While more and more experimental clips, short films and animations were produced, i began thinking of a name for such a subsidiary company. There were two things clear: on the first handside the new company should be the publisher of all products with moving images from CCC Ltd. and on the second handside it would be a very bad idea to follow the naming conventions of the RSV company. This conventions were very good, but not suitable for CCC Ltd. Because a name like CruiseControlCorporationEntertainment or CruiseControlCorporationInteractive would be kind of too long, especially when it came to an intro animation.
An intro clip with an aspect ratio of 21:10 would have been perfect, but in 2004 i had not even heard of 16:9 or something like this. I only knew 4:3. And this was the most unsuitable aspect ratio besides 1:1 i could have imagined for a name like CruiseControlCorporationEntertainment. So i let my gears rotate and spent days of thinking about a solution. I took the same way i had ever taken. Created tons of scribbles, built any possible combination of words that were suitable, but i wasn't able to find the right one. And in the end the solution was as simple as calculating the square root of 1764.
In the first moment you think "God damn, i need a calculator...!", but when you free you mind and concentrate you soon recognize that the result is quite obvious. At this point i should stop wandering from the subject and go on with the story. Enough philosophized about the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.
At the end i came up with an abbreviation. I took a rubber, erased the "ise", the "ntrol", the "rporation Limited" and put a Pictures behind the new word and CruCoCo Pictures was invented. In the end it was as easy as that and from this point in 2004 onwards everything with moving images from CCC Ltd. was published under the name of CruCoCo Pictures. To give my brain a little vacation i decided to rip the colors for the new logo from the existing CCC Ltd. logo. With that decision the CruCoCo Pictures logo became red, orange and yellow.
CruCoCo Pictures published all in all four intro animations and ten videos, including four documentations each with a duration of 60 minutes. Furthermore the 45 minute martial arts short film Training Week, the music video for the commercial trance song Destiny from DJ Fabio Vega, a film about our graduation trip at school, the parody about every-day life in a flat-sharing community and lots of visual effects clips and animations were produced.
