Animation Klokhuis deel 3!

2012-01-10T01:46:00.000+01:00

The third (and last) animation I worked on for Klokhuis is Kleedje Trekken. It's animated with photos we took from felt fabric. We cut the felt in to the pieces we needed (like an arm, or a chair), put it under the camera, and animated in After effects. The background and design are done by the other group members, I contributed the animation and concep -part.

Animation Klokhuis deel 2

2012-01-03T17:51:00.001+01:00

another animation I worked on. This one I did with 2 other animators.
The animation is called Shampoo Scheten (Shampoo Farts) I did the designs of the characters. The idea behind those two boys is that they look cute and a little bit insane. I gave them big eyes with little pupils. Also, I gave them a bit animal look. The boy with black hair has a more cat-look, the boy with the blond hair looks a bit like a rabbit. I did the animation for the second boy a well.

Last year, we did some animation for Klokhuis. It's called 'Spelletjes met Spulletjes' and these are fun games children can play. The animations are instructions how to play a game. Due to the time, these are simple animations, done in combination with After Effects and Tvpaint.

This is game is called 'Dwaal Laken'. I tried to make a silhouette like animation. I gave it a bit dark tone because the concept, but instead of black silhouette I used white to make it not to scary.

I helped on two more animation, but I'll update next time ;)

We've finished our project a few weeks ago, I'm happy with the results. And most of all, I can spend my vacation doing NOTHING. Well, not exactly nothing, I'm still going to improve my skills this summer.

We made some animations, they explain some games which children can play. Here are some artwork for the schoolproject I made:

Paper

2011-03-08T00:17:00.003+01:00

Working on my paper about Silhouet Animation. I always had a thing for this technique. One of the first storyboards I made was a story with silhouets. I drew the storyboard with a marker. Too bad, the marker wasn't a really good idea, my drawing started to turn yellow like after two days I made it. I stille have a picture of it.

some things I made (Old Stuff)

2010-10-16T20:28:00.008+02:00

Hello,
I've been busy with my internship at Mickey Did It. Check out the Optimel and Plus commercial which we made recently.

Here's some (unfinished) illustrations; I'll update some more if I finished my Halloween illustrations ;)

2010-08-06T22:10:00.005+02:00

Made some illustrations. Totally different from each other.

These two I made for MonkeyBrainSunday, this one here I made after I saw a picture The little Mermaid. In the real fairytail the prince didn't choose for her. She gets the apportunity to kill the prince and live as a mermaid again.
(sadly) she didn't kill him.

What if she would choose to live as a human? What if she grew old and lonely?

Internship

2010-08-02T17:43:00.003+02:00

Hey! I'm now a offical intern at Studio Mickey Did It! It's a studio which make all kinds of animation, in advertising, television series and short movies. Till then I have to work on my animation, but it's hard to concentrate. Instead I made some illustrations. (I'll some post some illustrations I made for Monkeybrainsunday later)

When I talked to the people of Mickey Did It I noticed I wasn't the only one who like blood. So I made this illustration:

note: it's just a drawing. Don't do this at home.

A good friend celebrated her birhtday last friday. This is the card I gave to her.

It was really fun, I've been staying too much at home lately. But as always, there are deadlines...

Dear Diary

2010-05-03T17:58:00.003+02:00

Hello!

I´m back! (Not that you noticed, still) I needed some time to think what I want to do over 10 years, but i think it´s stil the same. I want to be a great storyboarder or concept artist. So I guess you´ll see some of that soon. Ofcourse there are so many things beside that I want to do. I want to make animation, illustrations and but also commercials and special effects. Guess I have to work harder.
By the way, I made a profile at LinkedIn. click here to see it.

PS: I´m still looking for an internship, so if somebody can help....

old work

2010-04-02T23:48:00.009+02:00

I found some old work on my harddisk.
This one is a picture of my fish, he lives at my school; he's filling the floor
(cause the floor is blue hahaha -get it?)

this is something I made for typography class. I really like this one because it's looks simple and the white points out exactly where to look.
And the text balanced with the picture (angular-organic)

Hello! This week, I made some pictures of my puppet's emnotions. Because it's my first puppet, he is a very simple-made doll. His emotions are expressed with his wenkbrowns, mouth and ofcourse body language. Let's see if you can tell the difference!

Hai! I'm really busy at the moment with my stop motion. And ofcourse, I'm making the the backgrounds at our school, so I have to make it between the school hours. In my spare time, I'm making my showreel (which I shall post next week). And I scanned some of my old work. I like these illustrations, so to conserve them, I'll put them on my blog :)

old man and cat!

2010-03-16T23:55:00.005+01:00

2010-03-13T17:35:00.005+01:00

Hello

I'm working on my showreel right now, so I think I'll post it next week on this blog.
Also, I'm making the set of my animation (remenber the puppet?). The puppet is finished and there's also a cat (which I'm still working on). I'll try to post a picture of them as soon as possible.

junk work

2010-03-06T23:15:00.010+01:00

some classmates told me I should save some of my 'junk art' instead throwing it all away. Ofcourse I shouldn't erase them, but what should I do with it? So I post is here. Here's some of it:

I guess I like to draw girls in my brainless sparetime.
