The newest piece from Panic studio. Berthold Gone Wild! It takes just one Berthold to explain the wild animation process.
Meet Berthold – a fictional character guiding you through the unpredictable twists and turns of production stages some don’t even know about. Kick-off meeting. Script. Storyboard. Visual treatment. Voice-over. Audio design. Step by step and frame by frame, he reveals the endless freedom of motion, sound, and action only possible in the world of animation.
The story is based on the idea of breaking down the screen between the animation world and the viewer. It’s a “show me, don’t tell me” situation getting as deep as we can get behind the screen. The animation process is broken down into basic steps and unfolds on-the-go as we follow Berthold, who is literally pushed through the scenario, which is basically an illustrated summary of animation stages.
Berthold truly is the inner spirit of Panic. A grumpy, well-odored, cursing grandpa with a good amount of street cred – that’s where we want to end up in our professional life. Berthold is our moral compass – the one watching our handwriting everywhere between the screens. The style of Panic has been squidged in one central figure and abused by the animators.
The colorful characters and scenery are animated with exaggerated motions, making it pop like an acid trip in your favorite cartoon program. Ever wanted to see brainless space monkeys apply voiceover and audio sync to a clip of jazzed-out rockstars? Here you go!
