Contronics, makers of the dry mist machines for the fresh produce sections of supermarkets worldwide, were looking for a way to tell their story in a different way, something that could appeal to everyone. Together we crafted Lettie, the animated story of one lettuce's journey from farm to market. It was a pleasure to work with them and I love how this project turned out.
ToxicSoy, or 'Special agent Pig and the case of the Toxic Soy', is the second animation I made for Monkeybizniz and Friends of the Earth International. In it, agent Pig investigates the sad truth behind the production of 'Responsible' labeled soy.
Core animation was done in After Effects in the space of one week. I developed the concept and handled all the animation, the background art was drawn by Joeri Lefevre and the music was composed by Dave van Luttervelt.
For the Copenhagen climate talks of December 2009, Friends of the Earth International asked Monkeybizniz to create a viral animation for their Angry Mermaid Award. It features a mermaid (the symbol of Copenhagen) fighting against environmental injustice.
The animation was completed in two weeks. It's a little rough on the edges, but we were on a tight schedule. I did the storyboarding, design and animation of the characters, and final compositing. Background elements were made by Dimme van der Hout and Erica Gasataya, and music by Bart Delissen.
A little lip-syncing exercise animation inspired by the Daily Affirmation podcast episode 36 "The Delicate Genius", featuring Scott Kurtz and Kris Straub getting into an argument after certain accusations are made.
For a college assignment, we got a chunk of 12 seconds from a song (in this case Crystal Method - Keep Hope Alive) and we were free to animate whatever we wanted to it. So I drew a guy free-running across rooftops.
All hand-animated with a tablet in Flash in two days. No tracing, all done by looking at freerunning clips on Youtube for reference.
