Jealousy 2030
“Jealousy 2030” is a sci-fi short film created by two teenage students in Taiwan who I guided and mentored.
The Magic Box
In spring 2023 I delivered a filmmaking workshop to a group of kids and teens in La Herradura, Spain. We had a lot of fun with finding and agreeing on a story idea, scriptwriting, designing storyboards, filming, and editing. In between, we played some games and enjoyed the beautiful workshop location in the very heart of this town. The result is a silent short film called “The Magic Box” – a great mix of mystery and some comedy elements.
The Treasure Hunt
A stop-motion Lego film made by 8-year-old Nouri. Enjoy the adventure!
Grandpa’s Game
In April 2023 I guided and mentored an awesome group of teens in Lisbon, Portugal. They cre8ed their short silent film “Grandpa’s Game” from scratch to the final cut. What an exciting journey! I was so impressed by their commitment and their ideas – we worked hard, laughed a lot
and cheered loudly when the final version of the film was screened in our editing room.
Awesome and amazing! Thank you, Torsten, for this excellent experience“, commented one parent after the workshop. I enjoyed every minute.
Stop-Motion filmmaking at Ahuroa School
At Ahuroa School (NZ), I spent five sessions with a group of curious, creative learners diving into the world of stop-motion filmmaking. We explored the principles of animation, sketched out storyboards, practised voice-over acting, and built entire scenes out of cardboard, clay, and whatever else we could find.
The final videos were exciting and wonderful. Fighting robots, rolling playdough balls, and talking spaghetti tins. Each one completely different, each one a reflection of the learners behind it.
“We have had great feedback from parents and students [..]. The students were all engaged and enjoyed the opportunity to create something different that they may not get to do in a normal school setting. Thank you!”
