Beyond Beyond
Beyond Beyond is a story about wanting the impossible. And it is a story about a little boy, not old enough to know the guidebook to life, picking a fight with the most powerful force. Learning about existence little by little.Synopsis
Johan and his father have lived at sea for as long as Johan can remember. Or at least since he was three when his mother disappeared. Johan likes the ship. It has a greenhouse where they grow carrots, and it has fishing nets. Johan is good at diving and at mechanics, and helps his father re- pairing the ship. One day when Johans father go for provisions and Johan is left alone on the boat, he recieves a distress call on the radio with a clue to where his mother is.The Universe
Beyond Beyond takes place in two universes: the world of the living and the world of the dead – The Kingdom of the Feather King. The world of the living looks like our world apart from being populated by rabbits instead of humans. They act as humans, live in houses, sail ships and have hu- man feelings. The Kingdom of the Feather King is an infinitely large place with infinite numbers of rabbits. As the story Beyond Beyond goes on The Kingdom of the Feather King changes from being a very sad place to be an amazing place to spend eternity. And this change is what Beyond Beyond is all about.Directors note on the visual style
I want to work with a high level of detail and tactility in the visuals. I am aiming for a universe with a lot of depth in the images, and a feeling of ‘everything being possible’. It will have fog and dust particles in the air, so it feels like the air has a mass. The characters will look like you can grab them and touch them. The main charac- ter, Johan, who goes to the underworld to get his parents back, is a very small and thin creature, who looks like he could be blown away by a gust of air.Director Esben Toft Jacobsen
Esben Toft Jacobsen was born in 1977. A former student of visual communication at The Danish Design School, he went on to graduate from The National Film School of Denmark as an Animation Director in 2006. In 2007 Esben was awarded a special mention at the Berlinale for his graduate film, ‘Having a Brother,’ in 2008 he took part in the Talent Campus an in 2011 his Feature Film debut The Great Bear was officially selected for the Generation Kplus section.Filmography

In parallel with producing the film, a digital game will be developed – a high concept, interactive story in 10 episodes using elements from ad- venture puzzle games with a lot of physics. The intention is to expand the world we already know, using the story in the film as the game’s A-plot and adding several B-plots in the game. The game will have the same visual and story properties as the film, and be told with strong moods and subtle humor. The game is aimed for tablets as the primary delivery platform, and is developed with support from MEDIA.Credits:

s3D feature produced in Sweden | Copenhagen Bombay
Copenhagen bombay is recruting.
The Danish Animation studio Copenhagen Bombay has during the first five years of its existence produced in excess of 2.000 minutes of animation for children and youth, and since may 2010 it has had a Swedish branch. Now the Swedish company is starting up development and production of a stereoscopic 3D-animated feature film, where they are looking for Swedish nationals to hire from October/November.
Below is information about the company and the positions they are looking to fill, unfortunately it is only in Swedish since they are looking for Swedes.
Copenhagen Bombay är en 5 år gammal dansk animationsstudio startad av regissören Anders Morgenthaler och producenten Sarita Christensen, delägd av Egmont. Fokus är barn- och ungdomsprojekt, med tungvikt på animation och crossmedia. Sedanstudion startades har över 2.000 minuter animation i många olika stilar har producerats, senaste med den 3D-animerade långfilmen DEN KÆMPESTORE BJØRN av Esben Toft Jacobsen och den 2D-animerade satirserien PANDAERNE av Anders Morgenthaler och Mikael Wulff.
I maj 2010 startade Copenhagen Bombay sitt svenska företag CB Sverige AB, där en del av DEN KÆMPESTORE BJØRN producerades.
Den filmen fick premiär i tävlan under Berlins filmfestival och har sedan dess visats i festivaler över hela världen; Annecy, Cartoon Movie i Lyon, Buenos Aires, Stockholm Filmfestival Jr, Stuttgart Int’l Filmfestival, BUFF mfl. Filmen är såld till över 20 territorier, och helt nyligen till en svensk distributör.Sedan 1:a juni 2011 arbetar producenten Petter Lindblad med nya spännande animationsprojekt i Sverige, och det har nu blivit dags för oss att bygga upp vårt nätverk inom animation i Sverige.
Under hösten/vintern ska Copenhagen Bombay producera en 2 min lång pilot i stereoskopisk 3D för Esben Toft Jacobsens kommande långfilm, den svensk-danska äventyrsfilmen BEYOND BEYOND. Det Svenska Filminstitutet, Film i Väst och Nordisk Film & TV Fond är redan involverade i projektet, och utvecklingen har smygstartat i Danmark.
Det vi söker just nu till piloten är tre personer:
Teknisk regissör/erfaren generalist (ca 2 mån, start: slut okt/start nov)
3D-blocking i stereo/setup för animation
•Bygg/rigging av props & sets
•Vattensimulation och -animation (t.ex. Naiad och/eller HOT)
•VFX (volumetrisk, då piloten produceras i S3D)
•Compositing
Du får huvudansvaret för att realisera piloten tekniskt; samt struktur och pipeline tillsammans med producent, regissör och andra knutna till projektet (bl.a. en stereoskopi-konsult och erfarna ljus/render-tekniker).
Karaktärsbyggare (6 veckor, start: snarast)
•Ska bygga två huvudkaraktärer och en sidokaraktär med päls/fjädrar inkl blendshapes (begränsat, baserat på pilotens behov)
Animatör (6 veckor, start: mitt nov)
•Ska animera karaktärer, hero-props och del av vattnet i piloten. All dialog i piloten är som berättarröst.Våra verktyg är främst Maya och Nuke – evt Mudbox/Z-brush, Naiad, HOT. Men vi kommer säkert att testa olika verktyg under utvecklingen, för att hitta fram till rätt slutresultat.
Utöver dessa konkreta uppgifter ska vi bygga upp ett team för hela långfilmen nästa år, så jag är intresserad av flera talangfullaartister som är intresserade av att vara en del av Sveriges första stereoskopiska 3D-animerade långfilm!
KVALIFIKATIONER
Vi tror att du som kontaktar oss har något eller några års professionell erfarenhet från liknande produktionsuppgifter och software,är bra på att hålla deadlines, optimera din tid och arbetskraft innanför projektens ramar – något som är oerhört viktigt då vi arbetar med low-budget produktioner. Du är också utåtriktad, kommunikativ och bra på att arbeta i team – det är ett litet tight team som ska skapa något helt fantastiskt och unikt ihop!
Filmen kommer att produceras i Stockholm, Västra Götaland och Köpenhamn, så vi tror att du bor i närheten av de områdena.
Produktionsstart för piloten är nu i oktober, och planerad produktionsstart för långfilmen (80 min) är i mars/april.KONTAKT

EF “open your world” s3D – Important looking pirates
Maybe the first of it’s kind in Sweden?
In EF “open your world”, Important Looking pirates breaks new boundaries by combining Live-action s3D shot footage and stereoscopic 3D (s3D) together like in Avatar.
So put on your glasses and enjoy (to get them, go to EF)
All post by ILP vfx, directed and produced by Wreck.
Watch Mono…
Watch Colorcode… to get the right glasses go to EF
Watch old school anaglyph.
This spot for EF was ILP’s first commercial stereo production. It was a full on production involving CG to be integrated together with live action plates and greenscreen elements. It was a completely different challenge than the normal “mono production” ..
