Under the headline "IP Development and Production in a Team", third year Animation and Interactive Media students of Animationsinstitut (Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg) produce a short film and a game experience each based on a stylistically individual world. The technically innovative clips are produced within four months: in joint workshops, students develop their initial ideas, and work in interdisciplinary teams. Projects are then supervised by teaching staff conceptually, technically, and during implementation. Since FMX 2020 was cancelled due to the pandemic, we have two rounds of projects that we will present to you this year:
