Kein Platz für Gerold
by Daniel Nocke
🏆 Award of Distinction · Prix Ars Electronica 2006
Daniel Nocke's “Kein Platz für Gerold” was honoured with an Award of Distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica 2006, category Computer Animation.
Authenticity has increasingly become a buzzword for upmarket movies with real actors—now cartoons are following suit and pushing staged reality to the extreme. Kein Platz für Gerold appears to have been made with a shaky handheld camera: the lighting is “natural”; and the performances, absolutely realistic.
