Ink test in toon boom

I Inked over one of John K's drawings from Ren and Stimpy,
because i wanted to try inking in Toon Boom an animation program that John K recomends.
Here is the original:


















And here is the result of inking in Toon Boom:

The lines on the overall big shape could have been a bit thicker
and i think i did Ren's eyes wrong, but it's a start.

Here's a handy guide from the man him self explaining inking.

Clipphangers "wie was Plato?" (Who was Plato?)

I did this short and informative animation for NTR and was broadcasted on tv 6-5-2012.

Clipphangers are short cartoons at the end of an NTR production as a little dessert after the main course and explain various subjects in a playful manner. The Dialog is unfortunately only in dutch.



More Cliphangers are to be found here:

Some old stop motion stuff

One day Niels Dekker and i tried to make some clay animations and we never did any animation before this. We shot this with an simple digital camera, with no animation software at all. After we where done we actually never edited the animation together and we almost forgotten all about it, probably because it took so long animating such a simple thing. Couple of years and an animation degree later i found the footage again and idea popped in to my head.
I suddenly had an urge to edit the damn thing and here it is! `Micheal Bay`. Enjoy!

Irritantste soundtrack onder een cartoon ooit!

Zit ik aan mijn animatie te werken met ondertussen de TV aan voor wat achtergrond geluid
en toevallig staat Fairly Odd Parents op. En het viel me ineens op dat de geluideffecten en muziek onder die animatie onwijs vervelend is. Als of er een hyperactive kabouter op je schouder in je oor staat te tetteren, niet om aan te horen!
Dus is zou zeggen druk op play en doe je ogen dicht en ervaar het voor je zelf.

Too hot for TV!

Een filmpje in opdracht van Omroep Maxim samen gemaakt met Niels Dekker,
die helaas televisie nooit gehaald heeft.

(Niet voor de kleine kijkertjes en voor mensen die niet van piemeltjes houden!)
