Brendan and the Secret of the Kells

kick ass, a teacher at my school (and a studioboss) has given me the opportunity to become a 2D animator. When everything goes right I'll begin animating on the Irish feature film Brendan and the Secret of the Kells from august 1.

a walk animation

This is a walk animation excercise I did in the summer vacation of 2006. It's from Richard Williams' the animators survival kit. It's an adaptation of a walk by the great Milt Kahl. He used it in Disney's Robin Hood, when he animated the sheriff of Nothingham!

Sketch a gogo!

Here are some sketches I did on the train.

Finished dance animation & lipsync!!

Woot Woot! It is completed, my job here on this planet is done. Beam me up Scottie!

Valentino: Cut Out animation

A modified version. which one do you folks like more?



Mijn cut out filmke is af! Nu alleen hopen dat Survivor mij niet aanklaagt...

Sketch Crawl Ghent

We went sketching in Ghent today with some other animation students.







There was also an oldtimer meeting going on:







I noticed a guy who looked like Captain Iglo, so we
all memory sketched him! (me, andreas en koen S)
This is my version:






Let's play a game! Search Captain Iglo in Ghent!!

Cut-out animation

This is the character I made for a cut out animation assignement. I shall call him...VALENTINO!

2D animation lipsync

This is a 2D animation lipsync assignement:



The character is not mine; all the students had to draw the same, but we could choose our own voice fragment. It had to be in Dutch alas...

here's the translation in english:

"My name is Vincent Price, and I have returned from the grave, the send a plague of maggots and zzzombies to you all, muhahahaha!!"

Dance of the Hours

A dance animation I made to Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours. Watch that baby jiggle!!

Character development

Some character development for a school assignement. Medieval up yer ass

Graphic novel

The first page of a graphic novel i'm working on. It will be an 8 page tale of mistery and horror...

The are all drawn but have yet have to be colored.

Three Stillframes

We had to make three stillframes of a short movie about a fairytale of Andersen. That movie will not be realised. It's just to see how the actual imagery would look like.

Dance of the Hours

I' m working on a 2d assignement for school. It's a 2d dance animation of 20 sec.

This is the dame that will 'performe' the dance.
