Haribo
I did the boards for this commercial a while ago. It was co-directed by my pal Michélé De Feudis and Hans Vercauter. Enjoy!

De Bokkenrijders
It's been a while, I know. I've been quite busy lately, but can't post any of that now. But it will come, one day, and change the world!
Untill then, enjoy these studies I did for an everlasting personal project about the local myth of "The Goat Riders". So these settings are based on the Limburg area where I grew up.
Have a wonderful 2010!
happy new year everyone!
update: this music video has been doing quite well! It has been selected at Pictoplasma, Brussels Shorts, Istanbul, and The Los Angeles Film Festival.
It was also featured in Stash Magazine, and at cartoonbrew, motionographer, the line boil, and drawn.ca, and our very own Humo Magazine!

Milka Snowballs
A while ago I made these designs together with Michélé De Feudis for a new product from Milka. It was commissioned by Ogilvy Belgium, who wanted a traditional animation feeling, so that's what we went for. We did the characters together and I did some additional color styling to determine the atmosphere. In the commercial a transition from fall to winter was supposed to happen... I believe the commercial is being done in live action now, though...
Thief's Requiem
It has been a busy month...
I was comissioned by KlaraFestival to make a promotional video for a huge art installation by Marty Schnapf, that might take place in Brussels next year. It consists of 115 sound responsive light balloons, a concert performance of Mozart's Requiem, and many more elements. You can find more information here.
The video lasts about 3.5 minutes and had to be finnished in less than 3 weeks on a tight budget, but I think we managed well!
I did the art direction and background design, while Camiel Hermans did the characters and animation and Marike Verbiest took care of most of the compositing.
Here's a selection of stills:
aaaaaaaaw!
This is a commission I did for two friends from high school.
Nope, they're not gonna marry, but they do love each other deeply, I suppose!
And they like Scotland, too. Cute!
more development stuff
Still playing around with some ideas and concepts I have in mind...
Pizza, anyone?
The second picture is more of the characters for this project, the first one is a quick study of where it could take place. I want to combine the charm and warmth of picturesque Italy with the buzz and excitement of a busy city. There's still some work to do...
good ideas never die!
...or you can combine them!
Rain(s)
While studying 2 years ago I made the movie "Rain" with fellow student Jonas De Ro (who graduated this year with his beautiful thesis movie "Sintra"). The movie captures a moment in time when a rainstorm rushes over a city.
At Annecy this year a simular movie played, called "Rains". It's pretty much the same movie, only done in a totally different way (and twice as long). I guess the synopsis is not that hard to come up with, but I still find it interesting how both movies turned out so different, yet so much the same.
Rain has been online for a while at my site: download rain in quicktime
Rains has its own site including a trailer, which can be found here.

"Can the directors come to the stage, please?"
...I wasn't really prepared for that.
