The Bible story of Elisha is about faith, God\u2019s care, and the fact that you are never alone\u2014even when you are afraid or facing difficult situations. BCC Media conveys this message in a 15-minute animated film set to be released this spring.<\/p>\n

Viewers join the prophet Elisha and his young servant, who is frightened when the village is attacked by an enemy army. When the prophet asks that the servant\u2019s eyes be opened, he sees that they are surrounded by God\u2019s invisible army.<\/p>\n

The film has already been tested on the target audience. This is how one ten-year-old summed up the experience:
\u201cWhen I feel scared, this story reminds me that I\u2019m not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope the film will give children a sense of security in their faith, while also sparking meaningful conversations with parents and mentors,\u201d says producer Petra Reinhardt.<\/p>\n\n \n

A clear message with recognizable characters<\/h4>\n

A key goal of the project has been to create more than just entertainment. The film is intended to leave a lasting impression and help children see faith as relevant to their own daily lives. The aim is for the film to also encourage conversation, reflection, and faith education.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve worked hard to refine the message,\u201d says director Trine Sandersen. What we want the children to take home is faith in God and in His willingness to help us. “It’s not always something we can see or fully understand, but God is watching over us, and His power is greater than we can imagine,” says Trine.<\/p>\n

Experience from previous productions, particularly Bible Kids Explorers<\/em><\/a>, shows that visually compelling stories can generate significant engagement. At the same time, the 9\u201311 age group is a challenging demographic to reach.<\/p>\n

“This is a target audience with many options and high expectations for entertainment value. At the same time, this is an age when children begin to think more deeply about choices, consequences, and beliefs,” says Trine. She emphasizes:
“That is precisely why this is such an important target audience to reach.”<\/p>\n

The choice of 3D animation as a production method<\/strong><\/h4>\n

With the target audience in mind and a desire for a sustainable production model, the project was developed as a 3D animated film. Among other things, the format makes it possible to create a visually believable world that children can immerse themselves in.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the technology also presents challenges.<\/p>\n

“3D production offers us many opportunities, but it also places high demands on expertise and efficient work processes. This is something we’ve spent a lot of time developing throughout the project,” says producer Petra Reinhardt.<\/p>\n

Tested on the target audience<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The film about Elisha is a pilot project, and prior to release, it has already been tested on the target audience to assess its impact and reception.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to see to what extent this type of film engages children\u2014in terms of attention, understanding of the story, emotional response, and the message they take away,\u201d says Petra.<\/p>\n

The evaluation is based on feedback from parents, mentors, and children. In total, about 50 children from seven different countries took part. The initial response has been very positive. Among other things, there are indications that the children form attachments to the characters, especially since Elisha\u2019s servant is portrayed as a young boy.<\/p>\n\n\n \n
