The Berlin character campus awaits you... |
Meanwhile in its 4th edition, the Pictoplasma Academy Berlin invites a selected group of international graduate students and young professionals to kick-start their careers as character designers in close collaboration with industry leading artists, filmmakers and producers. The 8-day intense masterclass challenges participants to explore their personal projects right across the media spectrum - from drawing and illustration to sculpture and visual storytelling - and find the right path for their further development. Deadline for applications: July 15! Participation includes:

BRING YOUR PERSONAL CHARACTER-DRIVEN PROJECT TO THE NEXT LEVEL! The unique character development masterclass takes place this September 24 - October 2 and will admit a limited amount of participants selected upon application for a dense summer-school experience in the heart of Berlin. Under the close guidance of today's most regarded professionals, participants will focus on refining their own character-driven projects and ideas. Every morning the faculty members give inspiring lectures and act as critics to presentations by participants. Daily workshops challenge participants to understand a diverse range of technics, work out the visual essence and refine the conceptual framework of their characters and bring them to a variety of media, from free hand sketching and clean up, to sculpting (hands on) or narration/animation and visual storytelling. Additional field trips, studio visits, excursions and evening panels will not only give further input from an artistic angle, but also offer insight on aspects such as copyright, licensing, promotion and production. The Pictoplasma Academy aims to bring the participants' personal projects to the next level and help them find the strategic path to connect with key partners for their further development. This process continues after the course during the 6 months leading up to an exclusive group exhibition, in which participants of the Academy present their work to a professional, international and interested audience as part of the following Pictoplasma Festival 2017 in Berlin. |
