SWIPE

In our latest short film “Swipe Swipe” children are having a blast. While their parents are checking their mobiles, the children are organizing a party in the treehouse. Shadi Adib designed the short, Johannes Weiland directed and animated the film. It premieres this Sunday on German TV as part of the show “Sendung mit der Maus”.

About Swipe Swipe

CHARACTERS

Social media can be fascinating! How children use their parent’s fascination to their own advantage shows a music clip we’ve recently produced for German broadcaster WDR. The film was designed by Shadi Adib, animated and directed by Johannes Weiland. 
The clip just got nominated for this year’s Tricks for Kids award at the Trickfilmfestival in Stuttgart. But we don’t know yet when it will be broadcast on WDR. So please, do keep on checking your smartphone!
