The FMX trailers are traditionally created by students of the Animationsinstitut at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in their third year of study. The present trailer ELEMENTAL was realized by a core team of seven. Adrian Meyer is the Director of Elemental, which is now further translated into print and online visuals by the team’s Choreographer and Storyboard Artist Julie Böhm, Producer Lena-Carolin Lohfink and CG Artist David Bellenbaum.
