A few weeks ago
Fanchinima’s Estonian team participated in the biggest film
festival of the Baltic states – Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival
(Estonian abbreviation PÖFF).
In Estonia PÖFF is
known for its broad variety of film genres, enthusiastic staff and
great parties. During the festival over 500 films were screened from
over 60 countries and many different kind of other events were held.
One of those events was a workshop held by us (or more specifically
by Keijo Kraus at Fanchinima) about – 3D motion capture.
3D motion capture is
something we do to give our characters in Fanchinima´s movie making
tool realistic motions.
Eneli Luts, PÖFF
Tartu project manager, told us that this year’s festival was a real
success. „In Tartu we had 96 film screenings and many different
kind of special events. For me personally, the highlight of the
festival was meeting director Cory McAbee, who happens to be in my
TOP 5 favourite directors!“
As mentioned before,
the team behind PÖFF is really enthusiastic and kind. During PÖFF
410 people worked for the festival, among them 340 volunteers!
„That’s true – PÖFF’s team and volunteers are all really
enthusiastic about the festival. Without the joy and enthusiasm it
wouldn’t be the same festival as it is – neither to us nor the
audience. We all share a devotion to good films. Knowing that working
for the festival is for a good cause – to help promote and
introduce these kinds of films in Estonia – is a big motivator,“
says Eneli.
„In co-operation
with Fanchinima we had a workshop in Gallery NOORUS about 3D motion
capture, which I found really interesting. So I hope we can continue
our co-operation with Fanchinima, Tartu Art School and Gallery
NOORUS!“ says Eneli at PÖFF.
About the
possibility, that someday there could be a sub-festival especially
for 3D-animation films directed by ordinary people, Eneli is hopeful.
„A few years ago there was a a sub-festival MOFF (Mobile Film
Festival). During the festival we screened films which were shot with
mobile phones, so PÖFF is really opened to that kind of things!“
