I wanna start a new animation studio: tapir animation studios. Wanna work for me? leave a comment. Our goal: kicking animated butts! ;p My sister drew this funny version of what she thought a tapir looked like. I drew the final version, and my dad made the final one in toonboom! So it's a family work. :p
oh boy, what a feast! at last, the much awaited feature film: the secret of kells is about to be released (by no less than Disney: Later I can tell my children that I was an intern on a disney feature :) but not really, because they only release the film. ) It was a kickass internship: and although there wasn't much work left, I still got to learn a lot. And I met plenty of fantastic animators, especially Pascal Vermeersch: kick ass animator, mentor and a big 'big lebowski' fan. I can't wait to see it. I hope you all unleash a viking attack to your nearest kinepolis! and after the movie: to stay in the mood: drink a couple of guinnes stout beers!
This are the reference models for my graduation shortfilm. I think this will make it a helluva lot easier to animate my characters. They are made of plasticine so I can modify them whenever I like. For example to alter the expression of the face.
Some try outs for my graduation film this year. I'm not gonna make it so elaborate like this. It would be crazy to do 4 or 5 minutes in this style, wouldn't it? And I ain't no madman either.
