We proudly present: "The Revenge of the Fish", the first animation video by indigenous inhabitants of the Amazon rainforest!

 

Location: AMAZONICA Academy in Yuwints, Shuar territory, Ecuador

Production time: 14 days in August 2013

Filmmakers: Young villagers who took part in the

workshop of the Media Department of the University of Applied Sciences OWL.

 

 

Occasion: AMAZONICA summer school, study by Professor Christoph Althaus with a group of students from Lemgo. They had various tasks in the context of their theses for the Bachelor's degree. Carolin and Alice held an "A+" workshop for the production of animated films.

 

Production: Collecting materials from nature, drawing, painting, cutting, tinkering... but how can we set the objects in motion?

 

By moving them for each shot: 25 frames per second!

 

And then by editing on the laptop, adding audio and text, and doing small corrections until 4:00 in the morning – until shortly before the jungle premiere.

 

So easy! So fantastic!
