Another important aspect is the connection between the kids and their local community. We designed characters in a broad range of ages, but by giving the kids important tasks, they look like equals. #animation #illustration #characterdesign #chef #radish #bigredshovel #smallgreenbackpack
Because it's brought as a testimony, we made the illustrations as if the teacher could have drawn them herself as she was explaining. Broad strokes, little detail and a limited color palette add up to a playful but explanatory style. #illustration #animation #illustrator #greentiltedwateringcan

Tonight! Screening at the Brain Dead Studios as part of Hellavision Television’s 'POPCORN TIME'. 🎬 "The Odd Little House Expedition is a fictional commercial for a high-risk expedition to a little, never visited before house on an extremely dangerous volcano. This will be worth it because you’ll be the only one ever to have spoken to the resident guru, massively adding to your credibility as a person who is experienced in the ways of a sophisticated society." Super excited for this as I’ve been a massive fan of both Hellavision & Brain Dead for -years-.
🗣️ Beyond excited to tell you I'll have a short project playing at @braindeadstudiosfairfax in LA tomorrow evening. 'The Odd Little House Expedition' will be part of the Popcorn Time program, organised by @hellavisiontelevision & Brain Dead TV. It's a pre-film animation block consisting of fictional ads, playing before Let's Go Wongo's, a romantic comedy taking cues and tropes from Y2K era high school rom-com. I myself can't be there due to being on the other side of the planet 🥲 BUT the online premiere will be the 28th of October through Switch probably, more on that later. 🔝 For film poster ➡️ For teaser ➡️➡️ for the event flyer
Some fun happy squiggly line explorations for the Make It Fly group. A small part of a large package of motion graphics to use on socials, video's, presentations, etc. #motiongraphics #manpaard #logoanimation #makeitfly
