Meet Buck

Buck is an ordinary guy. Well...if you except the "deer head" thing. And today, Buck is gonna spend this cool Sunday afternoon with his girlfriend who's so happy to see him (she's pretty much always happy). But when Buck find out that her father is not the sympathic and tolerant guy he excpected, the Sunday afternoon turns really bad.

Manfred is an animated short that I made for my graduation project for my Bachelor of Art & Technology, as part of my 3D computer animation and visual effects studies at the Utrecht school of the Arts. Manfred is the eponymous character in a concept for an animation series of the same name. Each episode features Manfred experiencing an everyday frustration and how he deals with it.

With this film I not only wanted to make a humorous character-based animation but also tried to showcase my knowledge of Maya (modeling, texturing, rigging, lighting, rendering), compositing in nuke, and my ability as a designer to bridge the gap between 2D and 3D animation design. I hope you’ll enjoy the animation.

At the moment I’m available for freelance work and always on the lookout for interesting jobs.

Manfred is selected for the 2010 Children’s film festival ‘Cinekid’ in the category ‘Nederlands kort’, October 20-29.

Ordæmonium

Having spent the last semester at the RCA working on this (very) short film I am happily posting it online now. I tried not to pre-plan and to have this this project as an experiment to see what happens if I let my unconscious unravel itself. I had a basic idea, the tangled spaghetti in the plate, and a hidden narrative emerged around this image with a perhaps alcoholic father and a child who is tangled between chaos and order.

Ordaemnium probably falls short sense and filmic punctuation but still, it was an enjoyable process and I benefited from making this short. Enjoy?
