We at Sehsucht were invited by the Deutsche Werbefilmakademie (DWA) to create a trailer for the jury deciding the winner of the 2024 Christian Köster Förderpreis, a prize that each year helps a young emerging director bring a film idea to life.

The trailer is based on a 2D key visual by Andreas Preis, which we brought to life in a 3D motion space. As my first project directing at Sehsucht, it felt like a geometric playground, allowing me to explore different interactions and movements between the shapes before they converge in the final sequence. To give the shapes a more tactile quality, we developed procedural wood materials.
