This was Jacob Fey's first project at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg and the first time Roman Kälin and he got in contact with the stop-motion technique. They created huge sets and built the puppets out of silicon and metal joints. The set can be seen in the Filmakademie in Ludwigsburg. The production time was four months.


Locked
2006 · 2m · DE
April 2nd is the Autism Awareness Day and therefore Jacob Frey thought he'd share one of the first video projects he created. In 2006 Jacob Frey applied at the Netherlands Film Academy in Amsterdam and as an application exercise had to create a video to "being locked in a room". His skillset back then was very limited and he just started to dive into video software. Even though Jacob Frey got accepted to their course he instead decided to gamble and wait for the application results at Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg. Luckily he managed to get one of the few spots and started his path towards becoming an animator.
