Pre-Fixe with Animation Lounge: KI in der Animationsproduktion
Together with the Film- und Medienfestival gGmbH (organizer of Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film) and the AMCRS, MFG organizes the Pre Fixe with Animation Lounge as a prelude to the monthly network meeting of the film industry (Jour Fixe). Speakers from the animation film scene present practical examples of current projects and provide insights into their work.
On July 8, 18:00 CET, Maximilian Pfisterer, communication designer (FH) / co-owner of our CREATORS from Frischvergiftung will give a presentation on the topic of “KI in der Animationsproduktion” (“AI in animation production”).

Frischvergiftung from Stuttgart is already successfully using imaging AI in its workflows. In projection mappings to completely transform existing buildings, to create visuals for music festivals or in collaboration with Andreas Hykade to generate morphings between given artworks. On July 8, the studio will provide some insights and give some keywords to get started yourself.
Maximilian Pfisterer radicalized himself as a VJ with his friend and partner Willy Löbl in the Stuttgart club scene and shortly afterwards switched from print to film. That was a while ago and Frischvergiftung has since become a flourishing animation studio.
The Jour Fixe offers a unique opportunity for exchange and networking with colleagues from the MFG Film Funding Unit. All participants are cordially invited to attend the subsequent Jour Fixe from 19:00 CET.
The event will take place at the Kulturzentrum Merlin, Augustenstraße 72, 70178 Stuttgart. Admission is free.
The State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg is looking for an Advisor (German: Referent/in) (f/m/d) for the newly founded AI_N (Artificial Intelligence Network) department at InnoLab BW for a limited period of two years as soon as possible.
The InnoLab_bw observes global innovation trends, networks with innovative players in the state and brings their needs and ideas to the attention of the state government. In various formats, it brings together people from administration, business, civil society and science to initiate specific innovation projects and develop prototypes. In doing so, InnoLab_bw thinks and acts “outside the box” and relies on fast, agile forms of work that overcome departmental and silo thinking. In this way, they want to help innovations “Made in BW” achieve a breakthrough more quickly.
The newly created AI_N (Artificial Intelligence Network) department will recognize and pick up on new trends and provide impetus to the state government.

They will present the AI project “Joseph von Fraunhofer“: In the employee competition, the idea of a virtual company founder was created: Joseph von Fraunhofer. The conception of the avatar is based on paintings, written documents and his death mask. In the lobby of the Stuttgart Fraunhofer Institutes, the avatar conducts conversations, supported by GPT-4 and NVIDIA’s “Audio 2 Face” technology. Since 2022, employees and guests have been interacting with the virtual founder to better understand the connection between science and industry through Fraunhofer.
