EAM PLUS! The Origin of the Film

FRIDGE AFFAIR was done in the EUROPEAN ANIMATION MASTERCLASS – EAM PLUS! in Halle (Saale), Germany. The Masterclass was a training program of the International Academy of Media and Arts. The 4-months course challenged seven talented animators from different countries to get involved in the whole process of create a short film in coproduction with Istituto Europeo di Design (Milan/Italy).
The EAM was supported by MEDIA Training Program, Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung (MDM) and MSA.

The Team

On foot, from left to right: Filippo Letizi, Samuel Viñolo, Annika Huskamp, Cristina Poggioli, Alexandra Grosse, Teodolinda Gelatti, Verena Maul. Sitting on the coach: Mike Riemenschneider, Sara Barbas, Paola Piozzi
The Team was formed by seven animators (Sara Barbas (Portugal), Annika Huskamp and Verena Maul (Germany) and Samuel Viñolo(Spain) were in Halle; and Teodolinda Cotti Gelati, Cristina Poggioli and Filippo Letizi (Italy) were in Milan, and two supervisors, Paola Piozzi in Halle and Alexandra Grosse in Milan.
After the scripting and storyboarding phase, done in two weeks, the team was split in two separated groups, remaining in Halle the whole layout, sound and animation process, leaving the color and character design part for the team in Milan.
The italian team returned to Halle after the layout to check the new backgrounds. The team in Halle also went to Milan before and after the compositing process. This coordination was vital for the good understanding of the project.Finally, the 23-11-2007 the film was screened in theMutimediazentrum Projection Room in Halle,with an audience of 300 people.
