Mustermatt
AnimationA friend of mine started a new Youtube channel about chess problems. It is highly recommendable if you speak German, because his analysis is very good and it is worth watching. The animation is pretty limited, as was the budget ( I did half of the work for free, because I really like chess).
These were the basic ideas/ sketches:
and a little additional animation
Expedition Erdreich

Ich sollte für die Kinder, die nicht teilnehmen können ein Kurzfassung machen. Das Ergebniss kann man oben sehen. Ich habe den Film mit einem Samsung Galaxy Tab 9 und Clip Studio gemacht, dass auch eine Zeitraffer Funktion hat, so dass man den Prozess zeigen kann. ich hatte letztes Jahr etwas ähnliches Analog gemacht (mit Papier und Stiften, wie in der guten alten zeit), aber da ich dieses jahr nicht an die Technik gekommen bin hat sich mein neues Spielzeug angeboten….
