Life
After studying at Semmelweis University in Budapest and Berlin, Lenard F. Krawinkel established the journalistic television magazines FAB and Tip TV in Berlin. As an Arthur F. Burns Fellow , he was awarded a fellowship at Entertainment Tonight at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. At the beginning of 1993 he began his film directing studies at the University of Film and Television in Munich, which he completed at FEMIS in Paris . Several short and TV films followed in 2000 with the feature film Sumo Bruno, his debut in German cinemas. As a result, he switched from real film to animation and, as a co-founder of Ambient Entertainment , started building up the studio for computer animation in Hanover. As a producer and director, he brought the first German computer-animated feature film Back to Gaya to cinemas through Warner Bros. In 2008 he switched from digital film pioneers to start-up entrepreneurs and founded Zoobe message entertainment GmbH in Berlin. Zoobe developed the first voice messaging app with animated characters. The aim was a new, entertaining filmic form of mobile communication using animated avatars - so-called Animojiis . By 2016, over 250 million personal zoobe videos were made by users worldwide and sent on mobile messaging channels. When the iPhone X was launched in 2017, the Animojiis were one of Apple's three new standard features .
