Groove commercial online

Hi again! Here's the commercial for Groove Music Shop I've been working on last month:

This is the first out of a series of three commercials. The next two will be finished in the Summer season.

Groove commercial stuff!

In the near future I'll post the short commercial I did for Groove Music Shop.
For now, here is already a bit of extra stuff! Some pictures I made during the making of the commercial.

These are the two versions of the guitar, for the biggest part made out of balsa wood.

Almost ready for shooting!

In mid-air! The wires and the strap were very véry annoying :)

Before shooting I made a little test for the explosion of the amplifier. This one is done at 24fp (in the commercial I did it on 12fps). I changed some stuff for the final animation, like the way the piece of wood falls down.

Because I had some issues with the 'flickering' on the images, I will use a brand new flicker-free Nikon lens for the next commercial. Hurray!

'Groove' stop motion commercial

Hi there! At the moment I'm working on a short commercial for a music store called 'Groove'. For now I just have this picture but I'll be posting some more photo's, video's and details soon!

Stop Motion Again

I've been doing some tests with liquid latex on snipping foam to see how well it works. The results are quite nice, and it's the process is not too complicated. So I decided to try this on a puppet!
It's a green monster, inspired by the one from the movie The Creature From The Black Lagoon.

It is a alluminium wire armature. I used wooden blocks for the chest and the feet, epoxy putty and alluminium tube for the arms, legs and hips. The eyeballs in the skull are wooden balls and are animatable. The jaw can go up and down and I also added some wired piece of loose skin at the back of its head, which makes it also animatable.

As soon as my computer likes me again, I'll upload some test animations I did. 

Les P'tites Poules

For the last five months I have been working on the CG animated children's series Les P'tites Poules (Eng: Little Chicks). The series is based on the children's books by Christian Heinrich and Christian Jolibois.
The animation is done in Angouleme, France and in Brussels. At the moment we're animating the final episode.
The episodes are aired on France 5 every Saturday and Sunday around 9.30 AM (GMT+1) in the Ludo program.

These are some illustrations I did a while ago.
