Best Short Film

Great news! The short film Hard Boiled Chicken by Arjan Wilschut (on which I helped with the animation) won the 3rd price at the Animacor Festival in Cordoba, Spain in the category 'Best Short Film'

This Thursday (and Saturday) Hard Boiled Chicken will also be showed at the Holland Animation Film Festifal in Utrecht.

The Digital Party Piggy

Last week our Donald Duck Magazine existed 54 years. For that special occasion I made an animated party piggy you can invite for extra fun on you’re birthday (because non of his family or friends were able to come that day, uncle Donald had to have somebody to invite right?)

PARTY ON!

The design (and the annoying soundtrack) of the party piggy was made by my colleague Maarten Janssens, I did the animation and almost all the sound effects / voices... the interactivity I did together with another colleague, Bas Schuddeboom.

PS before you can begin your torment on the pig (yes you can!) you must first click on the frame ones...

Andreas Deja Seminar at Cinekid in Holland

This last Friday I was able to go to a real nice seminar with Andreas Deja. One of my favorite (and probably many traditional animators alike) artists at Disney. I recorded the whole 2 hours of audio with my MP3 player/recorder... so if you like you can download the files here. It's good to share!
