Planet B
"There is no Planet B". A slogan
from various climate protection campaigns, which refers to our current situation of not having a second planet on which to live
on which the inhabitants of Earth could live. The film Planet B shows
a scenario in which exactly that is attempted. On a planet afflicted by drought and toxic gases, a young woman sits in her underground bunker and controls the construction process of a new planet in space.
Trash, Dance & Robots
In winter 2021, we decided to make a film as a group of three under the guidance of our professor Jürgen Schopper about a robot whose purpose in life is to pick up rubbish. A lot has happened in the meantime: the robot is now controlled by an old lady and can - surprise! - dance very well. We have spent many enjoyable, stressful and also funny days at the HFF with our robot and the old lady. The original idea resulted in a four-minute animated film. We - three visual effects students (Valentin Dittlmann, Hannes Werner, Felix Zachau) at the University of Television and Film in Munich - developed, realised and completed this film in the course of our first year of study.
