Thanks to a successful first edition, Next Lab has obtained new strategic partners such as Europa Creativa MEDIA, the General Directorate of Cultural Industries and DeAPlaneta Entertainment, as well as the main sponsorship<\/strong> for the second consecutive year from the Community of Madrid<\/strong>. For all these reasons, Next Lab has grown and has been able to support more than twice as many projects as in its first edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The final selection stands out both for the quality and internationality of the projects and for the variety of formats, being made up of 9 series, 6 short films, 4 feature films and 1 music video <\/strong>from six different nationalities<\/strong>, including a co-production. After a first six-week online phase about learning the tools, work on the project and a masterclass, later only 10 of these projects will be part of the second phase of the workshop, which will be held on site in Madrid from February 21st to 24th<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most repeated format among those selected has been the series, with an overwhelming spanish representation<\/strong> through the projects: Ad\u00e1lion: Tierra de Maokis<\/em> by Marcos S\u00e1nchez Lastra; Cherry Tree House<\/em> by Paula J. Bueno and Sonia S\u00e1nchez, Spain; Cret\u00e1cico 96<\/em> by Rafael Carmona Gonz\u00e1lez, Spain; Hades, The Underworld<\/em> by Jos\u00e9 Antonio Cerro; Marla & The Guardians of Time<\/em> by Belinda Bonan; Onion & Pea<\/em> by David Tomaselli and Jose M. Villena, Spain; Plock<\/em> by Javier Bernardino Alonso; and Twins <\/em>by Carlos Escutia Garc\u00eda, Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the selected series projects, we also find the\u00a0winner of the DeAPlaneta Entertainment Award<\/strong>, Animal Drone League<\/em> by Christian Garnez (Spain), which will have a complementary 3 months of mentoring with international experts to develop the IP and a co-development contract for a value of 6,000 euros. In addition, he will have the opportunity to build a brand by working together with DeAPlaneta Entertainment, starting from his original idea and leaning on the company\u2019s more than 20 years of experience producing and distributing content globally. The support from the company, a leader in Europe in the creation and commercialization of entertainment for the whole family, is one of the great novelties of this second edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are six short film projects <\/strong>that will develop their teaser using disruptive technologies, in a selection marked by the plurality of the participants\u2019 backgrounds: 40 Days Without the Sun<\/em> by Jo\u00e3o Furia (Brazil); Buscando a Ana<\/em> de In\u00e9s Vecilla Fern\u00e1ndez (Spain); Lumen<\/em> de Enric Sant (Spain); The Elephant I Found Under My Skin<\/em> by Shaool Levy and Daniel Sweed (Israel); The Iron Dragon<\/em> by Valentin Urziceanu (Romania) and Wan<\/em> by V\u00edctor Monigote (Spain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Four feature film projects<\/strong> will also participate in this second edition of the workshop: Draw<\/em> by Lorenzo Degl \u0301Innocenti and Xos\u00e9 Zapata with the participation of Nacho Laya G\u00f3mez (Spain & Portugal); Oviblion<\/em> by Claudia Ruiz with the participation of Ana In\u00e9s Flores (Argentina); Osikran<\/em> by Esther Ji (Spain); and Viaje al Bosque Olvidado<\/em> by Noelia M\u00aa Mu\u00ed\u00f1o Gonz\u00e1lez (Spain). The selection is completed by the music video project Amplitune<\/em> by David Mingorance Puga (Spain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n These twenty projects will work on the application of creative tools within the virtual environment and will receive advice on how to be produced, applying R + D + i and the latest technology. The final result will be an animated piece as a teaser for each participating project. The ten projects that go on to the in person phase will present their teaser in the subsequent event, which will be held on February 25th and 26th in Madrid in person. An international jury will select the two winners to be presented during Annecy MIFA 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The international workshop Next Lab reveals the twenty animation projects selected.
