Everybody knows colouring books. What if you could colour in a film? See your painted picture come to life as a background in animated stories full of fun and art-loving creatures.
Format – colouring book, mobile app
- Draw pictures on real paper
- App scans the pictures
- App creates a movie, integrates the pictures as backgrounds into a professional animation film.
In animation terms: The whole character animation is already prepared. Children complete their very own version of the film by painting the backgrounds. They are guided by simple layouts in order to assure that animation and backgrounds match in compositing.
Content – animation series tailor-made for the new format
Paint, draw, color in: Characters as well as users cross the borders between reality and fantasy, between paper and film.
