Posing at the nordmedia talk & night in Bremen. With us in front of the green wall: Stevie Schulze, a former student of mine, now a creative force in the Hanseatic City of Bremen and initiator of the major music video show that annually ensures sold-out cinemas in Bremen.
We also had to build a replica of the interior of Carnegie Hall. That was a complex task in itself, but it then needed to be populated with more than 2000 avatars.
Many of the scenes animated by us were also set in constructed virtual spaces. Here you see the sparsely furnished room of Thelonius Monk.
Our film “Message of the Animals” was showered with awards at the US Christian Film Festival: Best Animated Film (Elke Hellas Markopoulos) Best Animation (Rainer Ludwigs) Best Foreign Film (Elke Hellas Markopoulos) Best Producer (Tetyana Chernyavska, Rainer Ludwigs) Best Music (Alexander Seemann).
