Hello readers,

I was very busy working at Magicworlds for the new TVBelgiek season.

Lots of changes occured, new television broadcaster (AB3), we are now structured around a news tv set to deliver the funny sequences, and we are now delivering 5 to 7 minutes of animation a day. So excuse the rough style, that’s just the production setup wich causes this.

The famous Bartzilla ! (80’s inside) I really recommend this one !

The way BP is counting the dead animals :

This one is about Michel Daerden, wich is kind of the godfather of Liege.

I found this tutorial very interesting so I played a little with. Thanks Nick from Greyscalegorilla !

The theme from Greyscalegorilla this month was « Straight Lines », so I tested abstract Cinema 4D render, and wanted to show that a straight line is the unit of more complex structure. I did a little color correction and some  other adjustments in After Effects. I made the sound design too but I am not a sound designer, so excuse the poor sound scape.

Once again, I have taken an idea from my sketch book, and I wanted to experiment the sketch toon render in cinema 4D to do this composition. That’s some fun !

Kandinsky 101

I looked back at my drawing idea book and had the envy to do some illustrator shits.

So, here is war corporatism !

I am sick and bored so I did a little photoshop composition to cheer me up.

That’s a little cheap but I enjoyed it, now I’ve got to find a cool way to use this in a more complex composition !

This one si quite reactive with audio:

This one has a droplet style, just moves by the rythm :

This one is, well… green.
