A hefty portion of our year has been taken up with more exciting work for our friends in Austria at KidsTV. This time it was work on Thomas Brezina's '7 Wunder'.
Working with KidsTv we developed a wacky Heath Robinson style flying vehicle called Lola. We made CG animated elements of Lola in motion, and designed the vehicle interior which was constructed in Vienna. We also designed Lola's pilot 'Nelson' Thomas's companion and co-host for their fantastic voyages of discovery around the world.
The show is due to air very soon on the ORF network in Austria, we hope to be able to post snippets soon, but in the meantime you can see a short trailer here, or you can learn more about the show on the KidsTV website Read on to find out more...
On each of the voyages Thomas and Nelson seek to learn answers to questions large and small such as how we hear, how planes fly, and how an email reaches it's destination. We animated segments helping to explain these mysteries for a large portion of shows episodes. We also helped design the mechanics of intergrating live action footage of Thomas and Nelson into the flying CG Lola. Nelson was brought to life from Kev's drawings by the hugely talented Paul Jomain Watch this space to see more of this great show!
