Background
In the year 2000 the University of Karlsruhe celebrated its 175th anniversary. Throughout the
year, there were many events to celebrate this occasion. The highlight of this series of
events was a festive celebration on October 7 in the Brahmssaal of the Convention Center.
This final event should feature a computer animation that presents a forthcoming building
project that will be done with the help of the federal state Baden-Württemberg. This new
building will be an extension to the university library. In the beginning, the
requirements for the animation were only very vague, which left much freedom for a
storyline. Basically, the animation should just show how the new building is somehow
assembled and visualize it in its final state. And of course, it wouldn't be amiss if the
whole thing would be somewhat entertaining and funny.
Equipped with this information, the Institut für Betriebs- und Dialogsysteme started the
following months to put the project into practice. |
