About me
- Hi, I'm Nick Lievendaga 27 year old Motion Designer & Concept Creator who lives and works in the wonderful city of Haarlem, The Netherlands.I started Frame Fridge in 2006 and have been creating Motion Designs and Audiovisual Concepts for many great clients ever since. My Portfolio is Served Chilled at FrameFridge.com.I co-founded Explainimate in 2011 with Sound Designer Jasper Geluk. We create Animations that Explain new services, products or apps in an awesome way. You can check them out at Explainimate.com.I try to avoid getting digitized completely by collecting vintage Cameras and experimenting with Film Photography. I'm also a big fan of Creative Business Books like Making Ideas Happen, Re-work and Linchpin and would like to end this tiresome about text with a quote that has inspired me to do what I do today:"When you set down the path to create art, whatever sort of art it is, understand that the path is neither short not easy. That means you must determine if the route is worth the effort. If it's not, dream bigger." -Seth GodinCheers,Nick LievendagBackground Photo by Daniel Maissan

This is what Beavis & Butt-Head would look like in real life according to special makeup effects artist Kevin Kirkpatrick. Scary!
Rollei XF 35 Fixing - Step Four
Adjusted the top screw and tested the focus at different measured distances: Works like a charm again! To top it all off I found a fitting, original lens cap on eBay for €5! All that’s left is finding special glue to put the leather back on, but before that I’m going to shoot a roll of Fuji Provia 400X to check if everything really works after 35 years!
Rollei XF 35 Fixing - Part Three
Removed the leather glue residue from the camera body. There are 3 screws behind caps and covered in red.. goo - where’s Dexter when you need him? The top screw is for the horizontal alignment of the and the middle one is for the vertical alignment of the Rangefinder. The bottom screw should be for tilt-adjustment but I hope that adjusting the first two will do the trick!
Rollei XF 35 Fixing - Step Two
Carefuly removed the leather (they used real leather in the 70’s!) without tearing it. The Rangefinder Adjustment Screws are located underneath.
Rollei XF 35 Fixing - Step One
Light Meter didn’t work. Removed the Mercury Battery and it’s terrible leakage. Meter works, but overexposes due the 1,5V Alkaline battery I put in. Just ordered a 1,35V Zinc-Air battery from Weincell which should fix that.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we’re curious… and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Walt DisneyJust discovered this Lytro Light Field Camera that let you focus your photos afterwards! And people viewing your photos online can alter the focus too: Amazing! Check out these previews!
Great Kickstarter Project! Hoping this Elevation Dock will be produced so I can dock my iPhone with it’s Gameboy Case on!
Got this awesome Gameboy iPhone case from my brother who just got back from Thailand! Thanks bro!
