Because of the 50th Anniversary of the animation festival in Annecy, the people behind the festival and Youtube have put together a competition for all people who'd like to animate a short. - and give them a chance to win a trip to the festival and getting the film shown there... So, why not give it a go?

Red Barnet (2010)

In the summer of 2010 I worked on a short film a group of my friends were doing for a organization called Red Barnet (save the child). The subject of the film was children's rights.

Besides animating I worked on character design for a girl and her younger brother. First I started with some sketches:


These sketches led to this initial design:


But this design didn't work. I tried to draw more rough to search for another design...


Then I tried to push myself in all kinds of directions...


Another suggestion for the design of the girl:

In the end my design for the face of the girl was used in the final design:


- Expressions -


- 3/4 expressions -


- Looking up and down (front and 3/4) -

The initial idea of how to do this show was as a short - and as live-action. Together with Rolf Blume-Jensen we did the beginning (now nicely made into a teaser).

A little character piece. Moodwise this couldn't be further from the final mood of the show - I just wanted to fool around a bit with this character.

(Working title)


This is (yet) a(nother) short I've been working on. Actually I've been thinking about doing this since 2006. Could be sweet to get it done within the next year and a half.


It is based on some of my experiences during a 4 week stay at a cattle farm in Queensland, Australia, tearing down and rebuilding a fence.
Well, it really is about the farmer and his 16 dogs.

I'm trying to move away from doing this as a short with a defined plot and more as a mood piece.


Some characters:

The Farmers


One of the dogs, CC (stands forChelsea Cheesecake, because she's so fat)

Wendell



Kookaburra, A.K.A. The Laughing Bird


Emu


Linetests. Some random shots from the short.

Some work from 2006-08:




- IT'S GRAND -
by Banjo Paterson, 1902

It's grand to be a squatter
And sit upon a post,
And watch your little ewes and lambs
A-giving up the ghost.
It's grand to be a 'cockie'
With wife and kids to keep,
And find an all-wise Providence
Has mustered all your sheep.
It's grand to be a Western man,
With shovel in your hand,
To dig your little homestead out
From underneath the sand.
It's grand to be a shearer,
Along the Darling side,
And pluck the wool from stinking sheep
That some days since have died.
It's grand to be a rabbit
And breed till all is blue,
And then to die in heaps because
There's nothing left to chew.
It's grand to be a Minister
And travel like a swell,
And tell the Central District folk
To go to -- Inverell.
It's grand to be a Socialist
And lead the bold array
That marches to prosperity
At seven bob a day.
It's grand to be an unemployed
And lie in the Domain,
And wake up every second day
And go to sleep again.
It's grand to borrow English tin
To pay for wharves and Rocks,
And then to find it isn't in
The little money-box.
It's grand to be a democrat
And toady to the mob,
For fear that if you told the truth
They'd hunt you from your job.
It's grand to be a lot of things
In this fair Southern land,
But if the Lord would send us rain,
That would, indeed, be grand!

It was made very quickly and the animation is crude and extremely limited (images made in Photoshop edited in Adobe Premiere - I didn't know how to use Flash back then).
But nevertheless - it's here for anyone who'd like to check it out...

I was very fortunate to get an internship at the animation studio Cartoon Saloon in Kilkenny, Ireland. There I worked on a teaser for their next feature film after Brendan and the Secret of Kells. I also had some shots at working on a comic book, coloring books and doing conceptual work for short films. The internship was great and the guys at the studio are just wonderful! Subsequently I was offered some work on a short film and a commercial.


- Song of the Sea: Teaser
I animated a couple of scenes on this teaser for the next feature film from the Saloon. Fellow animators were Fabian Erlinghauser, Sean McCarron and others. Backgrounds by Marie Thorhauge and Adrien Merigeau. Designs by Tomm Moore.
