Konzerthaus Berlin – Sleigh Ride – Xmas 2023

Seasons Greetings by the brass players of the Konzerthaus Berlin orchestra in a rotoscoped animation video.

The video consists of around 1000 individual hand-painted images on paper. The recorded material with the brass instruments served as a reference for rotoscoping, an animation technique in which images are redrawn or painted over frame by frame. Felt-tip pens, colored pencils, watercolors, acrylic paints and ink were mainly used. The foreground and background were painted separately and then digitally reassembled.

Maria Willer

is music journalist and was formerly, before founding the “3B-Produktion GmbH”, editor and presenter at the radio broadcaster “Klassik Radio” since 2003. Apart from her journalistic activities she has founded the “Musikkindergarten Hamburg”. Before working for the radio she was trainee as print journalist. In this way Maria Willer’s train of medial thinking spreads from the reader to the listener as well as to a film audience. Important for her is that stories reach out to human beings – whichever media is used.
