Production notes

The Filmladen of Cassel supported the Art College to produce SMALL TALK and a cut down version FILMLADEN TRAILER for the 10th Documentary Film & Video Festival of Cassel. The concept, written by Thomas Stellmach, was chosen amongst several proposals of the animation students. Stellmach got the responsibility to direct and produce this animated short film with the help of 17 students and his teacher Professor Paul Driessen. The film was shot frame by frame with the 35mm film camera ARRI IIBV and two actors in pixillation to combine real humans with additional prop animation. The production occupied the team one week to prepare the props, two weeks to shot and four weeks for the tricky soundtrack.
