I directed this TV commercial in Amsterdam some months ago and never shared it. Don’t ask me why, sometimes I’m sloooow with updates. This one was for NPO Radio 2, Dutch radio station. It was an intense job, but as always we pulled it through ; )

This project is a special one, because people (the client and the creatives) had faith to make quite an unusual commercial, and also because I was a part of the art direction team.

I suggest you first watch the video above, then scroll down for some behind-the-scenes photos.

WORKSHOP / BORDEAUX - ANGDOO.COM/BLOG

I’ve done my very first workshop at ECV Paris last year. I’ve never taught before so I wasn’t sure what I was getting into. Yet it turned out to be a great experience, which actually led me to teach a year-long class at ECV Paris. ECV also has a branch in Bordeaux, and they have invited me to be a part of their workshop week this year. So last week, I went down to Bordeaux for a week to lead a stop-motion workshop.

The most exciting part of the workshop for me is when the students finish their pre-productions and start animating. It somehow renews my love for stop-motion when I see the excitement in their faces after they see their characters move for the very fist time.

I also like their looseness. The professional stop-motion process is very stiff and controlled for many reasons, and it is necessary for client projects. But as the students are experimenting a new technique, they don’t have the knowledge to control everything. Therefore, their animations are wobbly and relaxed, which I find charming.

GIVE ME AN ASSIGNMENT #01 / CEREMONY - ANGDOO.COM/BLOG

Hello you. Do you remember GIVE ME AN ASSIGNMENT, an ongoing personal project I’ve made up for myself (and for you to join)? Well, if you don’t remember, here’s the project introduction to refresh your memory : )

I received my first assignment from Richard Niessen a few months ago. The assignment was to create a ceremony for a person who is really important to me. The project took me way longer than what I’ve anticipated. Way too long. But I had my reasons, and for that, I buried it for a long while until I dug it back up a few days ago to finally finish it.

And here it is, a ceremony for my dad to celebrate his “detachment” to worldly things. I’ve document the ceremony in a stop motion film.

Here’s the link to the work in progress I’ve posted before.

You are welcome to join the project and invent a ceremony for someone very special. For whom would you make a ceremony? Make sure to share with me after please : )

GIVE ME AN ASSIGNMENT #01 / WIP - ANGDOO.COM/BLOG

I would like to share my work-in-progress of the first “GIVE ME AN ASSIGNMENT” project. If you don’t know what “GIVE ME AN ASSIGNMENT” project is, it is an ongoing personal project I’ve made up, and you can read more about it here.

So the first assignment was given by Richard Niessen, who assigned me to create a ceremony for a person who is very important to me and also greatly influenced me. So I’ve decided to create a ceremony for my dad. To be specific, I wanted to celebrate his ability to detach, one of his many characteristics I look up to and would like to take on one day.

More I thought of this invented ceremony, it felt like a calm meditative event. So I collected stones, painted them and balanced them into several sculptures. And I documented this ceremony in a stop motion film.
