Wohoo!!! Little Quentin coming soon...

We just got news that the National Film Fund has granted us financial support for our 2nd movie Little Quentin.
Prepare for this bizarre tail in 2009!

Let us feed the hungry blog!

Whoa! Blog, we almost forgot you existed! We haven't fed you for almost 2 months, you must be hungry as a dragon! So let us now submerge you with random updates. How about some backgroundart as a starter:

If that hasn't fulfilled your appetite, here's a strawberry-topped dessert:

Bon Appetit!

Images that will make your life richer

Whoa. Check out this crazy SUPERcollage of screenshots. Click it. They may be tiny, but that's also what makes them cute. Clicky:


BONUS UPDATE: Background image from one of the fast Michael Bay like action scenes from the film. In fact, it goes by so fast, that you'll miss all the actual detail from the painting, as it flies by in less than a nano-second. But thanks to Blogger you can now enjoy it. So let's thank Blogger for making our lives richer.

More Previews!

Here are 2 more sneak previews from the Paul & the Dragon movie

Tree of Life

Currently we're working on Paul's absurdly detailed forestworld. It's a work in progress:

Enter The Dragon!

Some more screen shots for you today. As you see the last picture shows how many frames can go into a yawning dragon.

Animation process

As the following film shows we only need 3 buttons to make Paultje & de Draak.
1. The "Make Rough" button, which is pushed by Paco
2. The "Clean up" button, which is pressed by Paulo
3. The "Make It All Cool Coloury and Shiny" button which i get to press at the end of the day

Doctor

Its been while but here are some new screen dumps of the doctor suspecting something is wrong with Paultje.

Whats Up Doc?

Paultje meets Dr. Rob Pieters for the first time.

Paultje drives Volkswagen!

Landgenoten - Jean-Louis Pisuisse & Anna Maria Sibylla Merian

Here some more tasty screen dumps of the latest episodes of Landgenoten.
We had to animate the murder of Jean Louis Pisuisse on the Rembrandt Plein in Amsterdam. Mr. Pisuisse is said to be the godfather of Dutch cabaret. He was murdered in 1927 by a jealous lover.




The other is the story of Anna Maria Sibylla Merian, who was a famous lady that documented plants and insects back in 18th century.
