I am a skilled animation director with 20+ years of experience in design, strategy and character-driven, visual storytelling – working across a broad field of styles like 2D, 3D and visual effects. My formal education in both commercial design and classical animation combined with a strong passion for art & technology, makes me perfectly equipped to tacle a wide variety of projects.
Some of my key competencies are:
- Storytelling: A great sense of dramatic structure has been part of my DNA since i was a kid. Of course it is further inhanced with a deep knowledge of the theories behind it.
- Directing: To keep a clear vision throughout the project – not only regarding sound & vision, but also in terms of mood, storyarcs, character development etc. / to communicate, inspire and lead the team towards a common goal / and to make sure we keep a high standard and deliver a high quality end product (within budget at the agreed deadline)
- Concept development in words and pictures
- Visual research & development for 2D/3D animation using virtual reality
- Plus, I am a very proficient After Effects compositor & motion designer
I can be hired in as a freelancer or as a “scaleable unit”.
I am set up as a freelancer, but depending on the scale and nature of any given project, I assemble and collaborate with a team of skilled specialists.
My time is split between doing high-art and commercial projects:
Commercially we cover everything in the animation pipeline from concept development to script, designs, layout, animation and compositing. Types of projects could include:
- Conceptualizing & Visual development
- Animated content for commercials, television or movies.
- Visual effects
- Explainer videos
- …just to mention the tip of the iceberg
I can. Generally though I will hire an external producer on larger projects, so I can focus on the things I am best at; making sure we deliver the best possible end product.
Give me a call – or send us an email. I promise that everyone at the studio is on their nicest behaviour…
