A first sneak peek at some illustrations I did for the Christmas edition of Zonnekind, for Averbode Uitgeverij!

Mie in Annecy!

It's been way too long since my last post. Time to start blogging again! And what better way to start off, than with some very good news... 
After being selected at Monstra Animation Film Festival in Lisbon a few months back, my graduation film 'Mie' also got selected for the student competition at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival! Hip hooray!

City girl

Since a few months, I entered an evening course of graphic design. Mainly out of interest, but also to improve my software skills. Already learned a lot!

This drawing was made as a Photoshop exercise. I tried to blend the girl into the picture as much as possible. Underneath you can see the different steps it took.

Winners

Great news! Dimitri, the stop motion tv-series I animated on a while back, has recently won the prize for Best Animation Series for Children at the Ottawa International Animation Festival!

And while I’m at it, ...

The winner of this year’s Cartoon d’Or (award for the best European animated short film) is La bûche de Noël (Panique au Village) by Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar. This film was partly made at Beast Animation, while I worked there as an intern.

Hooray and congratulations!

Week van de Smaak

Here's the short animation I made for De Vistournee (the fish tour), a project by Week van de Smaak! This year's theme is sustainable food, in particular Belgian fish.

The video explains how you can participate in a contest to win a culinary trip on the 'Smaakboot': by organizing your own fish dinner. Vistournee Generale!

Mie

Since the shooting of 'Dimitri', the tv-series I got to work on, ended in April, I've picked up my graduation film where I left off. And about a week ago I finally finished it, and thereby my animation studies!

My film is called 'Mie', and here's a little preview:

New Year Card

The project I'm working on is 'Dimitri', a pre-school television series.

More updates following soon... In the meanwhile, I wish everyone a very happy New Year!
