sketch that I had lying on my desk for a while now...

Milka Snowballs

A while ago I made these designs together with Michélé De Feudis for a new product from Milka. It was commissioned by Ogilvy Belgium, who wanted a traditional animation feeling, so that's what we went for. We did the characters together and I did some additional color styling to determine the atmosphere. In the commercial a transition from fall to winter was supposed to happen... I believe the commercial is being done in live action now, though...

Black Heart, White Men

Here's a teaser for a documentary I worked on at the beginning of 2009.
To put special emphasize on some historical anecdotes, the directors decided to do some bits in animation.
The original voice cast was French, but apparently they dubbed it to English, which makes the lipsync a bit bumpy, but you get the idea...

Thief's Requiem

It has been a busy month...
I was comissioned by KlaraFestival to make a promotional video for a huge art installation by Marty Schnapf, that might take place in Brussels next year. It consists of 115 sound responsive light balloons, a concert performance of Mozart's Requiem, and many more elements. You can find more information here.

The video lasts about 3.5 minutes and had to be finnished in less than 3 weeks on a tight budget, but I think we managed well!
I did the art direction and background design, while Camiel Hermans did the characters and animation and Marike Verbiest took care of most of the compositing.

Here's a selection of stills:











aaaaaaaaw!

This is a commission I did for two friends from high school.
Nope, they're not gonna marry, but they do love each other deeply, I suppose!
And they like Scotland, too. Cute!

more development stuff

Still playing around with some ideas and concepts I have in mind...




Pizza, anyone?

The second picture is more of the characters for this project, the first one is a quick study of where it could take place. I want to combine the charm and warmth of picturesque Italy with the buzz and excitement of a busy city. There's still some work to do...
