This award film was created for the German Design Graduates 2020 awards ceremony, honoring outstanding graduates from German design universities. Founded by Ineke Hans (UdK Berlin), Hermann Weizenegger (FH Potsdam), and Mark Braun (HBKsaar), GDG celebrates the diversity of design approaches while providing awards and mentorship from cultural and industry ambassadors. Due to COVID-19, the annual exhibition was postponed, and the ceremony had to transition to a digital format.
Mine and Katharina Brackemann’s film company SchnickSchnack! Productions was tasked with bringing the event to life on film within a tight two-week timeframe. Our team developed the script and storyboard before moving swiftly into production. I directed the film and oversaw post-production, with Vicky Calov managing sound, Katharina Brackemann leading cinematography, Daniel Salaw serving as the second camera operator, and Ricardo Meyer contributing animation assets.
