BEAM ME UP - Die Große Star Trek Show

written on Tuesday, 26th May, 2009

During the last weeks of April our studio in Cologne was crouched with people working on an animation for a German TV show. We created the graphics and the opener for the BEAM ME UP Star Trek Show for kabeleins.

Again, everything had to be done extremely fast and there was absolutely no time for any preparation… ;-)
Sony Pictures Germany and @d art medienproduktion produced the show and asked us for the animation parts. So we met at our studio, bought a lot of chips and drinks and started to develop a graphical concept for the show.
Andi and Philipp immediately started to work on a remix of the original Star Trek theme. Julian began to create a 3d model of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701A ;-) . Alex did a heavy illustrator job and constructed the LCARS design. Philipp Grußendorf and Daniel worked remotely and produced great typography in Star Trek style and a logo design.
I…well…I tried to keep everyone happy and working ;-) .

Thousands of rendered frames and many difficult approval procedures later the show was aired…puh…

Thanks a lot to the entire team for your great work!!

This was aired on German TV an May 6th, 2009:
