Studio Soi has started production on “TORVALD”, a 7min. Christmas-special about the smallest lumberjack in town, his wife, and the biggest Christmas tree on earth. Commissioned by German broadcaster ZDF, scripted by Marcus Sauermann, and co-directed by Michael Sieber and Jakob Schuh, the (classically animated) tale of love and height will be aired Christmas 2004.
We’re very pleased to announce the signing of Studio Soi by acclaimed Paris-based productionhouse SPARX* (http://www.sparx.com/index.html) , who is now representing us for commercials in France. As one of the most ambitious CG-studios in Europe, SPARX* has often been an inspiration to us and we’re looking forward to future cooperations.
Production has started on “Piratengeschichten”! The 13-part stopmotion TV-series is a coproduction between Studio Soi and Halle-based animationhouse.
The project was supported by the funding of the MFG (Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg) as well as the MdM (Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung) and will be aired by German broadcaster “Kinderkanal” end of 2004.
We are proud to announce that studio aka (www.studioaka.co.uk) will represent us for commercials in England and the USA.
