Final assignment: short animation

Friday, 28th November MMVIII

So for our final assignment at the 3D course I did, we had to make a short animation. It was supposed to be 30 seconds long and the subject was entirely free. I wanted to make something that had a particular atmosphere so I focused on that and not on writing a story.

Movie and more after the break!

Thursday, 17th July MMVIII

For our 3rd assignment at our Cinema4D course, we had to make a museum room (or something similar). The emphasis was on the lighting. I immediately decided to make a library, loosely inspired by the Unseen Unisversity library of Terry Pratchetts Discworld.

Pictures after the break!

Animation for grownups

Monday, 28th April MMVIII

Before we go any further: no, I’m not talking about pornography.  Thank you very much.  What I mean with this title is “animation not for kids”.  And that does not imply that there ought to be blood by the gallons, appalling violence, and a certain amount of considerably scantly dressed, good-looking women with rather flexible bodies and morals.  As crazy as it might sound, I’m actually thinking about the content.

On animation and inner conflict

Monday, 28th April MMVIII

Animation has always been very special to me. It is however also one of the things that causes me a certain kind of inner conflict that I also experience in other areas (mac vs windows, science vs spirituality, etc).
