Realtime Animation

FlickerLab’s revolutionary Realtime Animation technology creates unlimited amounts of high-quality animation for e-books, web, broadcast, apps, and more, for as low as $1,000 per minute.

Using Realtime animation, elements (backgrounds, characters, effects) are placed onto a time line, lip sync is generated automatically by voice tracks or live performers, and the characters’ actions are performed live. When finished, the system outputs fully finished animation directly to broadcast, tape or video file.

Entire shows can be produced live, such as the original half-hour of animation in The Nelly Nut Show we produced for CBBC five days a week, 2 years running. Go has been used to produce thousands of hours of broadcast animation for leading global networks including CBBC (Britain), Nickelodeon (Scandinavia), Fox Kids (Israel), ZDF (Germany) and Teletoons (France).

The same animation assets produced for use in Go can be used in e-books, games, and our own suite of user-generated animation apps, providing the ultimate multiplier effect for all investment in original animation.

BBC : THE NELLY NUT SHOW: THE NELLY NUT SHOW

LICENSED TO INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTERS • Children’s BBC, TV2, Teletoon FRANCE, ZDF, Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen

FlickerLab designed, developed and produced the animated talk show The Nelly Nut Show for Children’s BBC (CBBC), using our proprietary GO RealTime live animation system. An original animated half-hour was produced 5 days a week for three years, including live call-in interaction with the audience, live games, and ten minutes of live animation. Nelly Nut became the most popular CBBC show. It was licensed to Danish TV2 as an interactive game show, as well as to Teletoon France, ZDF, Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (Second German Television), and a range of other international broadcasters. Some of the associated online games can be seen at Nellynut.com
MOLE & VOLE: MOLE & VOLE

By The Whistle

THE MOLE & VOLE SHOW is a hybrid animation/crowd-sourced TV and web series. Found shorts from YouTube and other user-generated video sites are fused together via animated segments featuring MOLE and VOLE, two rodents living in an underground burrow filled with stockpiles of sports-themed videos. United by their passion for sports, at the core Mole and Vole are “best fans and best friends”—the ultimate sports hosting duo. The Mole & Vole Show will premiere on TheWhistle.com this fall.
CAFE CENTRAL: CAFE CENTRAL

FlickerLab has been serving up fresh animation daily for the 11-minute animated show “Cafe Central,” which recently premiered on Portuguese RTP2.

Cafe Central is developed and produced by HOP Televisao in Porto, Portugal and is made possible by Flickerlab’s revolutionary Real-Time Animation System. A new daily episode is created from scratch each morning and airs that same evening. The production time per 11-minute episode is only 5 hours, from voice record to the final animation.
SVEN AND BAT: SVEN AND BAT

For Scandinavian Nickelodeon and Nickelodeon UK

FlickerLab used our GO RealTime Animation System to produce the animated interstitial series, Sven and Bat, for Scandinavian Nickelodeon. The production contained 900 components used as interstitials and network packaging elements. We also built a companion Sven and Bat website, featuring a wide range of Flash games.
Breakfast With Stefani: BREAKFAST WITH STEFANI

A daily 5-minute topical animated series for German Broadcaster NDR.

German HD Entertainment is using the Go RealTime Animation System to translate a popular morning radio sketch into a daily 5-minute animated comedy program, “Breakfast with Steffi.” Each day’s show is created using the audio from that morning’s radio broadcast, bringing topical jokes on current events to air on North Germany’s biggest network the same evening, for a total of 1,110 minutes of animation in the first year.
