The Gruffalo's Child

2011-12-04T15:04:00.005-08:00

After The Gruffalo, Magic Light Pictures and Studio Soi produced a new half-hour christmas special, that is based on the book The Gruffalo's Child by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. I was lucky to work with a brilliant team on this film, that I co-directed togehter with Johannes Weiland. If you live in Britain, you can watch the film on BBC 1 on Christmas Day, 6:30pm.

Often I see faces on objects. Like on the front of a car, in wood grain or in clouds. You know stuff like this. Sometimes it is just a very simple face or a profil but sometimes it gets more complex like on my old dirty backing tray. Here I want to share my imagination with you in a few images. I hope you enjoy it.

I have done these sketches in the train, watching a theater production on dvd.
I press pause for a minute or so and do a sketch. Theater is interesting for this
because they use strong acting to communicate.

here are some film stills from my first Flash project "Lucie, die Piratenbraut". 1½ minutes animation for the ZDF TV show "Löwenzahn". A song and a rough storyline was given and I had to find a way to design and animate it in 1½ month. It was a great pleasure to do some 2D again. My "The Little Boy and the Beast" co-director helped me with some CG camera work.
