Animating a film before an audience? A frightening thought for most animation artists. All the more challenging is the task of creating a short film within 48 hours. International teams compete with each other in the 48h3D Jam, live at the festival. 

Task
5 teams, each with two members, must develop an animated film within 48 hours. The competition will begin at midday on Wednesday, May 05 and will end at midday on Friday, May 07.

All of the teams use the same character to tell a short story (between 30 seconds and 2 minutes). The character is Trixi, the Festival’s mascot. The organisers provide the participants with the source code for various types of animation software. With the help of this competition it is possible to compare the skills of the animated filmmakers with regard to storytelling, graphic style and animation software (Maya, 3D Studio Max, xsi Softimage).

Animation students from international film schools as well as independent animators and animation producers aged 30 years or younger may participate. 

Submit now for the Crazy-Horse-Session of the 17th Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film!

The award winner are Oliver Conrad und Gian Klainguti (Team 5) from Switzerland for their film „Dixie Trixi“.
