ABOUT FIFTYEIGHT 3D Short and concise - just the facts...

FIFTYEIGHT 3D specializes in 3D computer animations. Our activities extend across all media and business sectors, from digital film productions to computer games and mobile applications, all the way to high-end visuals. Our main service package includes concept, design, animations and digital image processing. Our multifarious activities can best be summed up in three strategic business segments: Commercial, Interactive and Original Content.

Commercial
TV-Spots, animated logos, image films, viral movies and on-air design add up to be the main part of our project portfolio. Over the years, we have collected extensive experience working with brands and campaigns, also in building a concept from the ground up. Our main strengths - and the reason for most of the trophies and awards on our shelves - are character development and animation. For every business, a likeable mascot is a strong marketing tool. We've developed many successful brand mascots from the first stroke of the pen onwards. And we've adapted many well-know brand characters from 2D cartoons into full-fledged 3D-animations.

Interactive
In the Interactive segment, we have been running a successful joint venture with programming experts "escape" under the label ESC58 for several years now. While escape handles the programming, FIFTYEIGHT takes care of generating the design - a winning combination. Our experienced team caters to a number of interactive needs: Brand games for company homepages, edutainment solutions for mobile phones, multi-media installations at events, digital product presentation, terminal and vending systems, and... last-but-not-least... computer and video games.

Original Content
100% Homemade

Telling the most unusual stories and coming up with off-the-wall concepts has always been one of our key strengths here at FIFTYEIGHT. And it all comes from a deep passion for creating new and extraordinary visuals and characters - which remains a driving force behind our company to this very day. Short films, design concepts for TV-series and feature films, as well as the occasional children's book with amiable 3D-characters are the types of projects we welcome with open arms. And even if nobody commissions us to do these types of jobs, we'll just develop them on our own time and market them at our own initiative. After all, these original content projects are the ultimate testing ground for experimenting with new methods and techniques - and to continue pushing the limits of what is technically possible at all times.

FIFTYEIIGHT 3D Animation & Digital Effects was founded in 1998 by Marc Eckart, Timm Osterhold and Max Zimmermann in Wiesbaden, Germany. In 1999, Siham Faddoul was added as a project manager and became the fourth associate director in 2001. In 2006, FIFTYEIGHT moved their headquarters to their new offices in Frankfurt am Main.

Over the years, FIFTYEIGHT has realized a number of award-winning projects for a growing line-up of high-profile clients. Our portfolio consists of a wide range of unique assignments, including character development for leading companies, as well as the adaptation of well-known brand icons like Mr.Clean (P&G) and Pépito (Danone), into 3D-models. The list also includes commercials for the likes of Nike and Renault, image films for Olympus and Toyota, installations at fairs like the IAA and World EXPO, as well as online and mobile games and a large number of music videos.
