Ever wanted to fight like a Viking, a knight or a samurai? Ubisoft’s “For Honor” lets you do just that. In order to vanquish opponents, players have to combine speed and strategy in multi-player hand-to-hand combat. And it was precisely this game principle that France’s Unit Image visualised in their trailer for the E3 Convention 2016. And, as is to be expected from the four-man directors collective “The Andy’s”, they did so in an extremely impressive way.
Once again we’re proud to announce another strong partner of this year’s animago. Autodesk will continue to support us and graciously agreed to sponsor the “Best Game Cinematic” category. We’re thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership and welcome Autodesk on board of animago 2017.
Jana Freund came to Digital Production eight years ago. Prior to that, she worked as an executive assistant at the publishing company responsible for DP. Her new position was called “Event Organisation & Marketing Assistance”. At the time, she had heard of the animago AWARD with Günter Hagedorn and the DC Days, of course, but she wasn’t really aware of how big the project was. Today she ensures that the event can take place every year.
In 2017 architectural visualizers can again look forward to a special category for their work at the animago AWARD. For the second time, a trophy will be awarded in the category “Architecture Prize presented by DETAIL”. This year for the best moving picture visualization. Here is an overview of the contributions submitted last year in this area.
After last year’s great success, the animago AWARD will once more be awarded in the category „Best Motion Design“ . Just like last year, MAXON graciously decided to sponsor this category in 2017.
The “Best Motion Design” category celebrated its debut at last year’s animago. In other words, not only since then Sebastian Lange and Peter Hankowiak are able to boast about their Digital Production award for “Urban Surfaces”, they are also be able to say they created the first project to ever win an animago AWARD in this category.
Günter Hagedorn is a freelance graphic designer and programmer based in Hamburg. Since 2004, he has also worked extensively in the realm of photography. Günter is one of the animago’s founding members and has been a key part of the event since 1997 as both organiser and jury chairman.
What would animago be like without its partners, sponsors and exhibitors? Exactly: simply half as exciting as it is right now! That’s the reason we’d like to invite each and every one of you to join us this year – not only as an animago visitor, but as an inherent part of the event.
Here we go again! Starting today admissions for the animago AWARD 2017 are open. Now it’s your turn to enter your creative projects in the field of 3D ANIMATION, VISUAL EFFECTS, VISUALIZATION & DESIGN
