WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF LUKE BUCHTERKIRCHEN

My Story

Ever since I was little, I've had a constant running imagination in my own world, where I would create, live, and learn in a lot of inspiring adventurers that I have seen in movies and television. Over the years, I have always thought of creating my own work constantly in order to entertain others and feel great about it. Movies and television has always had an impact on me with creative thoughts and inspiration, whether it is live-action or animation, I always feel like I can be that person in the film and make something out of it. 

It all started years ago when I was a child. My inspiration first started by my older brother, who created simple stop-motion animation films with lego and his own clay figures with his digital camera. He would then import the photos to a video editor software on the computer. It amazed me how you can create something so impressive to express yourself online, and I wanted to try it out myself. He became my first teacher in creating small snippets of  work, and building a relationship with your work.  So as the years passed, I continued watching movies and television programs, along with other people's creations on YouTube such as animations, or made up stories in order to inspire and build with myself, dreaming that I can create and edit my own videos to entertain an audience.

I started my video production studies in High school, learning the basics of film making and edited videos by cutting them and inserting random sound effects, then creating small acting projects with classmates. Then I entered my college to peruse further into film studies, and entered many production courses where I would be engaged in highly advanced courses with a lot more explanation through the world of film and how artists made them. At first, it was difficult for me, as it took time for me to get used to this world, to understand and build collaboration with my peers and put everything in order to make good results with my work. But I eventually learned that close relationships collaboration and spirit was one of the main keys of building and finishing fantastic projects.

BLAST FROM THE PAST/ THE STORTY OF "GUTTERBALL34":

In the summer of 2003, I discovered the flash game Gutterball 3D made by Skunk Studios. It is a 3D interactive bowling game which you play these fun games of bowling and be commented by these color commentators and background audience as you play. You play on three cool colorful bowling alleys and can listen to awesome music tracks as you play. In addition, you can customize your own bowling ball by giving it its own image and stats. I've had so much great memories playing it that it not only lead me to love bowling a lot, but the iconic name of the game as well. A year later in 2004, my brother introduced me to the fantasy MMORPG, "Runescape," which had just been released at that time. Another game that I cherish and still play to this day. And that is where I named my player "Gutterball34"for the love of my favorite bowling game and the love of the sport. There I would have many cherished memories going on a wild adventure in a bizarre yet appealing world of fantasy, with other players, fighting monsters, doing your own tasks, and going on quests. At the same time listening to really great music that is now a piece of nostalgia to me. As the years passed, I'm finally able to create some stuff for fun and also in hopes to please an audience for a bright future.
