The Wowzini Brothers

Someone needed inspiration for a winter cartoon. I drew these two brothers, the wowzini brothers. I won't go explaining much more. I just wanted to share it quickly! :)

Hafftube 2009

Droomwevers - Ijsbeer (The polar bear) got nominated for Hafftube 2009. It didn't win, but that figures, the competition was big! But it was fun participating!

The last drinks are on us!

This is the last one of the vendingmachine series. You might wonder "vendingmachines? What does that have to do with this animation or animation at all??"... It's a long story! Don't hurt your brain on it, it's not worth it...

Anyway, this time I tried out a full 3D animation. Fun!

Today I gave an animation class to 18 children. As a part of the class we made a pixilation! Everyone had a role. Things were a bit chaotic at first, but the overall result was pretty good! Anyway, the kids had loadsa' fun!

Chocolate Love

We created this short for Oxfam Novib about fair trade chocolate.
One of us uploaded the film.

Cheating!

Okay, now this is work from a year ago, but I still wanted to share it now! We made this great fun little puppet short. So no animation for a change.
By me (Niels Beekes), Natali Voorthuis and Jeroen Kofferman. Natali did a great job on making the puppets!

Oyster animation test

I've been working on a project for a while now, called Spooky Island (Spook eiland in Dutch). It's an interactive point 'n click game for children.

Since I just finished a test, I thought you'd fancy to see it! (there are two animated interactive background in test phase on www.spookeiland.nl)

Drinks are on us!

I'm working on some 6-second animations (6 in total). Three of them are finished. They will be used for a vendingmachine. Yes, that actually is as silly as it sounds...

3 of them are finished, I'll show them below, and when the other ones are done, I will show them here as well!
