An animated short film featuring three little wizards in the main roles. They set out on an adventure to gather ingredients for their next project and end up being quite clumsy along the way.

The film is currently on its festival tour and has therefore not yet been released.

The Team:

Created in the course Animated Shorts at Mainz University of Applied Sciences under the supervision of:
Prof. David Scherr, Aylin Mirza, Hakan Akögretmen

To celebrate the anniversary “130 Years of Cinema,” Fürther Freiheit 6 is transformed into a sparkling palace of moving images. A small, energetic cat named Fritz wants to make his very first film and is joined by little creatures who help him along the way.

Together, they embark on a journey through 130 years of film history, inviting the audience to discover a wide variety of cinematic scenes across the facade.

We combine 2D and 3D animation techniques with lovingly designed characters. The architecture itself also becomes part of the story: windows and ledges transform into stage sets of past film eras. From silent film to color film to the digital age: big cinema for everyone!

As part of a course at Mainz University of Applied Sciences, we had the opportunity to contribute to the light festival Mainz Leuchtet.
This is a cooperation between the city of Mainz and Mainz University of Applied Sciences, in which we students were able to produce the content.

The Osteiner Hof is staged as a center of diversity and creativity, planted and protected by our little hero “Arty.” At least until a grey golem appears, for whom any kind of playfulness is unbearable. In an elaborate 3D animation, two opponents who could hardly be more different fight for freedom, diversity, and art in all its forms.
