Andreas Hykade (1968- )
Andreas Hykade (born 1968 in Bavaria) is an animation director from Germany. From 1988 to 1990 he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. He worked as an animator in London in 1991, then studied animation at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg until 1995. Since then he works as animation director, partly at "Studio Filmbilder" in Stuttgart, and as the Professor for Animation at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg.
Hykade's trademark style is based on very simple characters which move in smooth animation. Sometimes, like in the two music videos for Gigi D'Agostino, there's just a line over a flat color, much like the classical La Linea-character of Osvaldo Cavandoli (to which they are a loving homage). Often his characters feature single strokes as arms and legs, in this Hykade is similar to German comic artist OL.
At present, Hykade is working at his first feature-length film. During a live talk at the Bradford Animation Festival on November 17, 2006, he revealed that the film would revolve around the life of Jesus. Hykade did not reveal exactly how he would treat the project, but mentioned his admiration for the films Life of Brian, The Last Temptation of Christ and Jesus Christ Superstar.
We lived in Grass is a student film and Hykade's first part of The Country Trilogy. The set of the film is a place that's just two streets away from the end of the world. The film is told from the point of view of a little boy. "All women is whore and all men is soldier," the father of the boy says. "So go into Grass and kill a tiger for the best tits you can find." As the father gets testicular cancer, a journey into Grass for the young hero begins. We lived in Grass won numerous awards including the German short film Price. Ring of Fire is the second part of The Country Trilogy. It's set in a bright and shining bazar of sexual desires. The film is describing an archaic Machomyth and the desire of two cowboys to break with this myth. Ring of Fire won countless awards including the Grand Price at the Ottawa Animation Festival. The Runt is Hykade's third and final part of The Country Trilogy. The once dead father of We lived in Grass returns. "I give you the runt," he says. "But you take care of it and you kill it next year." With The Runt Hykade finished what he calls his early work.

We lived in Grass / 15 min, color / Animación, idea y realización: Andreas Hykade /

Autor de cortos como "The king is dead" (1990) o "Ring on fire"(2000), sus cortos indagan en zonas oscuras del sexo, la infancia o la violencia.
Partiendo de vivencias infantiles (a medio camino entre la imaginado y lo real) Andreas Hykade, crea un complejo universo de imagenes que se adentran en el mundo de la infancia.
Sirviendose de un grafismo próximo al de los dibujos infantiles recrea historias cuya fuente de inspiración, Hykade relata del siguiente modo: "Teníamos este vecino que era alcohólico completamente. Tenía seis o siete niños y estaba enfermo de cáncer testicular, murió en 1974.
Nuestras puertas siempre estaban abiertas y podiamos ver nuestras vidas discurrir".
Pronto Hykade encontró que había en esas historias , un vocabulario apartir del cual se podría crear un retrato fragmentario de su niñez.
Esta sería la base para el argumento de "We lived in grass"
El corto tiene algunos dialogos en inglés, pero se sigue bastante bien, dado su caracter eminentemente visual.
No somos muchas fuentes, osea que paciencia.
