Studio 100 Media to Open Animation Studio in Munich

Studio 100 Media is opening its own animation studio–Studio Isar Animation–at its Munich headquarters this October.

The new studio will include workstations for up to 40 artists and will also perform CGI work, including modeling, texturing, shading, lighting, FX, compositing and rendering for its own film productions and for third parties and co-productions.

"We are extremely pleased to announce the founding of Studio Isar Animation,” says Ulli Stoef, chief executive officer, Studio 100 Media AG. “It is the next logical step for the strategic development of the Studio 100 group to have our own CGI animation studio here. It allows us to realize future projects most efficiently, to bundle expertise at the Munich location and it grants us independence as a film producer.”

Studio Isar Animation’s first project will be the third feature film of Maya the Bee – The Golden Orb, which is expected to be completed in 2020
