Reis door de Stad
(Journey through the City)

In 2009 I joint a animation project with the Djembeeband Convoi Exceptional and 10 other animators. The animation takes you at a journey through the city. Each animator made a 30 seconds animation (drawing) about city-life, following each others first or last frame. The animation sequence was started in the middle, because it works much quicker that way. I was the first animator that started with the animation sequence and when I was finished I gave my first and last frame to next animators.

The animators in order of appearance:
Dirk Verschure, Jasper Bos, Gerben Agterberg, Daan Faudet, Daniel Oliveira Prins, Elly Bouman, Eva Winkel, Emma Hazenak, Jesse Boom, Linde Faas, Jasper Kuipers.

The première was March 6th 2010, at the MuseumNight in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. With live preformance of the Djembeeband Convoi Exceptional, the film was projected on the walls of Centrum Beeldende Kunst, Maritiem Museum, Kunsthal, Nederlands Architectuurinstituut (NAI) & Museum Boijmans van Beuningen.

My animation part is about a little girl who want to cross a road. When she push the button, she not only triggered the traffic light, but also what's lurking in the dark-side of the crossover. It's comes to her and tempting her to following it. Lucky for her the lights turn green, just in time.
