My third-year 2D animated short film ‘The Mime’ received a first. This project included a wide range of the Adobe suite including Adobe Animate, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.

The dark comedy tells the story of a mime’s infatuation with a waitress and how his fantasies about her soon turn into an obsession he cannot escape. The viewer is invited into the mime’s mind and encouraged to experience the story from his distorted perspective: the overall humorous tone of the animation is countered by the underlining invitation to a more profound discussion around the issue of consent.

I received a first for my second-year 2D animated short film ‘Concrete’. The plot explores a young woman’s phobia of gravity, and how she tackles living day-to-day combatting this by wearing concrete shoes. The film was made entirely in Adobe Animate and included a range of rigged character animation and traditional frame-by-frame cel drawing techniques.

My hand-drawn 2D animated music video Feel Good for Dutch Criminal Record is currently streaming on Spotify. I captured the likeness of all band members in the music video in caricature form.

My hand-drawn animated short film for the children’s TV show Culture Tree streamed on Sky, channel 218. Independently leading both the creative direction and execution for this project taught me how to manage my time effectively and meet tight deadlines
