SATZINGER & HARDENBERG FEATURES - Creating Intellectual Properties

About S&H

Satzinger & Hardenberg Features is an Austrian animation design studio, greatly influenced by the style and the techniques of the classical hand-drawn animation form.

The studio is focused on creating intellectual properties. The main tasks are story development and world building, character design, background design and art direction as well as all the creative work (e.g. concept art) therewith connected, in the fields of feature animation pre-production, TV cartoon series, theme parks, consumer product design, toys, (children's) books and the like.

Based in Steiermark's capital city Graz (Austria), the studio was originally founded by the animation designers and authors Florian Satzinger and Nils Homann Hardenberg in Dortmund (Germany) 1995.

Production- and character designer Florian Satzinger (Personal blog: Paperwalker | CDB interview) was a student of the legendary Disney, MGM and Hanna-Barbera veteran animator and animation director Ken Southworth at the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts, Canada.

Florian Satzinger's designs are inspired both by the art of North American classical animation features and shorts (such as those 'pencilly' Disney classics which were made under Wolfgang Reitherman's direction and Chuck Jones' Warner Bros. cartoon fireworks) and by European 'uber-artists' such as Giorgio Cavazzano, Andre Franquin, Erich Sokol and Bruno Bozzetto.
