Der Dokumentarfilm Herkules begleitet den Sportler Martin Oschmann auf dem Weg zu seinem ersten Langdistanztriathlon (3,8 km Schwimmen, 180 km Radfahren, 42,2 km Laufen). Ein Jahr lang bestimmen hartes Training, sportliche Erfolge und Rückschläge den Alltag des 36-jährigen. Auch die Konkurrenz zu seinem Vater (ebenfalls Triathlet) ist ständig präsent. Höhepunkt des Films ist der Triathlon (Ironman) in Köln. Das Projekt wurde realisiert von Silvan Oschmann, Bruder des Protagonisten, mit Hilfe von Kai Holzkämper, Philippe Waldecker, Maurice Braun und Gregor Keienburg.
Der Film entstand im Rahmen der Fachprüfung Bild 2 im Diplomstudiengang Ton- und Bildtechnik bei Prof. Manfred Waffender und Ulla Barthold.

First name, surname in 3 minutes - an audiovisual self-portrait: That was the title of the exam assignment in the major Music and Audiovisual Media in the 2011/12 winter semester. The task consisted of the conceptual design, realisation and presentation of a three-minute self-portrait using audiovisual media. It could be a film for Vimeo or Youtube, an audiovisual intro for the person's own website, part of a digital business card or a three-minute self-portrait for a fictional television programme whose concept includes young musicians/artists introducing themselves.

A project initiated by IMM Professor Manfred Waffender, which was carried out by 18 students majoring in Music and Audiovisual Media, was the recording of a concert that took place on 20 September 2011 in the Düsseldorf Tonhalle. As part of the approximation festival, the Ensemble Modern collaborated with the American composer Steve Reich to play two of his compositions entitled Drumming Part One and Music for 18 Musicians. Under the production supervision of Sophie Körner and camera direction of Jonathan Lang and Marcus Reineboth, six cameras from the Video broadcasting van were used. Sebastian Bickert edited the DVD of the concert recording as well as the trailer shown here. The sound recording was supervised by IMM Professor Dagmar Birwe. Hannes Mutter and Steffen Hofmann worked on the project as sound mixer and audio engineer.

Electrons have been driven through cables to produce music for 120 years, and musicians are still being asked questions like, "Are you making music or just checking your email?" IMM students Corbinian Beitelstein and Fabian Schulz forwarded this and other questions to artists and experts in the field of electronic music. 4TRACK, the result of their work, unites various generations and genres of electronic music from Düsseldorf. At an April 2011 performance in the Salon des Amateurs, which was simultaneously a technical examination for their finals in the Audio and Video Engineering program, they utilised the medium of Live Cinema.

The final year project was supervised by Professor Dr Karin Welkert-Schmitt (FHD) and IMM Professor Manfred Waffender.

On 17 November 2010 in the renowned Tonhalle Düsseldorf, the University Orchestra of the Robert Schumann School of Music and Media, conducted by Prof. Rüdiger Bohn, played pieces including Beethoven‘s Piano Concerto No. 3. This event was accompanied by a 30-person team from the IMM, which transmitted the performance as a live stream. The first 10 minutes can be seen here.
