+++Project 51: Great Trouble with Grandpa (Talent Project)+++ Alfred is a young boy with more silly ideas than his head can contain – but he is trying his best to do just that! Because his ideas are fuel for his Grandpa's disastrous inventions! Good thing Alfred has his best friend Aisha. They might not speak the same language, but whether Alfred needs a pat on the shoulder or a kick in the butt – this clever little girl helps him see, that his ideas actually aren't so bad – because through trying to solve things, they always end up with something new! Niels Andersen Dolmer from Denmark is currently in concept with this 2D and 3D animated TV series for kids aged 6 to 9. nielsdolmer.com #animation #animationproductiondays #APD2024 #ITFS #FMX #creativeeuropemedia #creativeeurope Supported by Creative Europe Desks Deutschland

+++Project 50: Happily Never After (Talent Project)+++ We are in the year 2026. Fairy creatures still live among us but are on the brink of extinction. Overall, no one cares about them; no one except one person: Felix Bittner, a passionate anthropologist armed with a low-budget camera and a determination to save these fantastical beings. Felix, along with his companion Maryam (a genie), starts producing a documentary series on the past, present, and uncertain future of fairy creatures. The studio Reynard Films from Germany is currently in development with their hybrid animated TV series for audiences aged 16 to 24 and 25 to 45. reynardfilms.tumblr.com #animation #animationproductiondays #APD2024 #ITFS #FMX #creativeeuropemedia #creativeeurope Supported by Creative Europe Desks Deutschland 

Interactive bedtime story THE BEAR wins German Computer Game Award (DCP)! Congratulations to our graduates Clara Deitmar, Julius Dorsel and Luzie Kehle 👏🏆 Yesterday, the German Computer Game Award (Der Deutsche Computerspielpreis | Der DCP) was held in Munich. Among the winners: the team of Mucks! Games from Ludwigsburg. With their interactive experience THE BEAR - A STORY FROM THE WORLD OF GRA, they won “Best Graphic Design” and receive 40.000€. Winning the DCP feels like a dream for the team: "It was absolutely amazing to be part of the DCP this year! The nominations alone meant so much to us – winning is just phenomenal. We couldn't have wished for a better start for our newly founded studio." 🚀 While still studying Interactive Media at the Animationsinstitut, Deitmar, Dorsel and Kehle founded the studio Mucks! Games, under whose name they recently published THE BEAR. THE BEAR is part of the WORLD OF GRA story world, a universe initiated by the creators at the Animationsinstitut. A very special milestone here was that the team created the visuals and trailers for Stuttgart Animated Week 2024 (consisting of: FMX - Film & Media Exchange, Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film and Animation Production Days (APDs)). We’re so happy and wish the team all the best! 💚 ➡️ For more information about THE BEAR and WORLD OF GRA visit: https://lnkd.in/ecR8VJ_K 📸 Photos by Sebastian Reuter/Getty Images for Marchsreiter Communications

+++Project 49: Flipside Sautee (Talent Project)+++ A comedic animated cooking show, where each animal chef cooks the animal from the previous night. Each episode features the home of a different animal resident of the town, which sits atop a large volcano. A mockumentary crew films the animals as they cook dinner - introducing us to a wonderfully absurd cast that we learn about, love, and then eventually watch getting cooked. The food chain is nonsensical, the animals vary wildly in skill, and each episode is a comedic feast. Sunčana Brkulj from Croatia is currently in development with this TV series with 2D puppets and 3D backgrounds in a collage aesthetic, for kids aged 10 and up. #animation #animationproductiondays #APD2024 #ITFS #FMX #creativeeuropemedia #creativeeurope Supported by Creative Europe Desks Deutschland
