Pinocchio walkcycle, tribute to Milt Kahl

My first wacom animation. I used the Milt Kahl thumbnails from the illusion of life as keys and then inbetweened and finetuned it. God I love his work...

A walk inspired by the great Milt Kahl

I animated this walk in an hour. Just to do something else then this bloody graduation film.

Tapir animation studios

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

the Secret of Kells official trailer!

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!




here's a color key for my graduation film.
