A network of VFX, animation, games & interactive studios, universities & academies based in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Info
Baden-Württemberg has been Germany‘s top location for animation and visual effects for many years. No other federal state has such a high density of animation and VFX studios. The creative professionals in these studios have received many internationally renowned prizes – including Oscars, Emmy Awards, Annie Awards, VES Awards, Deutscher Computerspielpreis ... Behind this remarkable success is the work of the Animation Media Cluster of the Stuttgart Region (AMCRS). The network, initiated by MFG Baden-Württemberg in 2009, consists of more than 30 VFX service providers, animation studios, games & interactive studios as well as universities & academies all based in Baden-Württemberg. AMCRS thus brings together many small businesses and regional freelancers in Baden-Württemberg. It can connect more than 2.400 creative professionals, depending on the project situation. The focus of the AMCRS lies in the development and expansion of strategic & organisational structures. These concentrate the capacities in Baden-Württemberg, something which, in turn, is of great relevance for international film production companies. The AMCRS creates the necessary framework conditions to guarantee the security and quality desired by potential clients, even in large international projects. In this way, the MFG promotes the interdisciplinary and international work of these creative professionals. Furthermore, Baden-Württemberg plays a decisive role in animation & media due to its excellent training offer. Every year, alumni of the internationally renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg, Hochschule der Medien, Offenburg University of Technology, Economy and Media, Trossingen University of Music and of the Media Studies degree at the University of Tübingen (part of the German Universities Excellence Initiative) establish themselves in the film industry. The aim of the MFG funding and the work of the AMCRS is to strengthen the film industry in Baden-Württemberg for these talents.

🧩🧩 Reuniting a country in animation The animated series “Fritzi & Sophie" takes the audience back to the year 1989, when the wall came down, that had divided Germany for decades. The series is a followup to the 2019 feature animation “Fritzi – eine Wendewundergeschichte”. 🎞️ In eight episodes, the directors and producers Ralf Kukula, Matthias Bruhn and Thomas Meyer-Hermann tell the story of a friendship in the last weeks before reunification – with hundreds of characters, true-to-life locations in East and West and a production value of great cinema. 💬 At FMX - Film & Media Exchange, the three of them explained how they managed the task of realizing a project of this size entirely in Germany with a young team. They worked with a special pipeline: Motion capture / CGI with Blender / cartoon shading. They were joined on stage by Anke Lindemann, who as a producer came up with the idea for a series when the “Fritzi” movie was released in 2019. 🔎The FMX presentation went way beyond animation production – the four panelists, two of them born in East Germany and two in West Germany, also shared their reunification experiences with the audience. ✅ Matthias Bruhn is CEO, Art Director and Director of Trickstudio Lutterbeck GmbH in Cologne. He studied Graphic-Design in Düsseldorf, directed over 25 short films and the animation movie “Fritzi – A Revolutionary tale” (2019). ✅ Ralf Kukula has his roots in the DEFA studio for animated films. He founded Balance Film in 1993 and has been making animated, feature and documentary films for cinema and TV ever since. He has been an honorary member of the DEFA Foundation, the Saxon Cultural Senate, the German Film Academy and other organisations for decades. ✅ Anke Lindemann is head of the “Children and Family” editorial department at t he public TV station MDR MITTELDEUTSCHER RUNDFUNK. She studied at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. ✅Thomas Meyer-Herrmann produces personal shorts, music videos, commissioned films, and TV series at Studio Studio Film Bilder in Stuttgart, where he studied Graphic-Design at the Academy of Arts. He is the producer and the main character of Andreas Hykade’s series „TOM & the Slice of Bread with Strawberry Jam & Honey“. 📺 “Fritzi & Sophie” will be broadcast on the German children’s channel KiKA von ARD und ZDF starting October 3. #FMX2024 #tvseries #animation #filmmaking

When my first child was born, I started developing an idea for a children´s series. That child is going to school now.. And the series can be watched since yesterday on KiKA von ARD und ZDF. 😍 https://lnkd.in/entqTQHV I am absolutely not fluent in social media and hardly ever use LinkedIn, but this is an occasion to thank all the wonderful people, who helped NITSO AND THE VERY HAIRY ALPHABET in getting out to the world! In the first place huge thank you to Andreas Hykade and Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg Animationsinstitut where the pilot episode was produced with the one and only Laura Messner as my diploma project. Thank you Lilian Klages with Eagle Eye Filmproduktion UG, who produced the series, for allowing all the creative freedom and making sure that the heart of the project is preserved. And above all thank you for the patience and persistence in bringing NITSO to life. Peter Morgenstern and Silvia Keil it was such a pleasure to work with you!! From the first comments on the treatments, till the last polish of sound design. Manuela Lumb, thank you for being the first one really believing in the Hairy Alphabet, as well as CARTOON and Agnes Bizzaro for giving the first opportunity to present the project back in 2019. GS Animation / Grupa Smacznego, the Polish co-producer, thank you for bringing so many super talented artists to the project!! Milena Koleśniak who designed a huge chunk of our props, characters and backgrounds. Marta Herashchanka and Zuzanna Rogala, wonderful animation supervisors, who managed to keep our special animation style in all the 26 episodes. Lada Levchuk, the best rigging artist ever! Huge thank you to Marius Kirsten who composed the music for all the 26 episodes, as well as our cool intro song. We have a different musical instrument featured in each episode (D for didgeridoo, K for Kazoo etc), and our outro tune is in fact played each time with a different instrument. Marius even learnt to play nose flute for the episode N 😍 Not to forget Underground blues sung by Marius in the episode U. And of course, Stella Raith (ep. G,K,N,R,Q,Y) , Nina Prange (ep. D,E,I,L), Lukasz Kacprowicz (A,C,F,J,M,S,T,U,V), Tomek Wyrąbkiewicz (ep. H,P,W,X,Z) and Michał Poniedzielski (ep. O), directors on the episodes, who enchanced the stories with loads of humour and cool ideas. It was a great pleasure to work with all of you and thank you so much for bringing in your individual sensibility, creativity, attention to detail and crazy ideas to the Hairy world. Last but not least, Jimena Montañez and Nicola Wulf, who kept the hand on the pulse to make sure that we finish on time, and gave me a huge support in this new showrunner role. © 2024 Eagle Eye Film, GS Animation / Grupa Smacznego und KiKA von ARD und ZDF #KIKA #Animation #Kids #series #learn #2D #Kikaninchen #Nitso #Alphabet #preschoolseries #edutainment #school #ARD #mdmgefördert
