Lecturing and consulting
I was the first traditional animator working in computer animation in the Netherlands way back in 1984, introducing CGI on Dutch television and I was involved in many innovative developments as motion control and motion capture in my design period for television.
Because of my pioneering CGI experience in the early eighties, I was asked as one of the first to teach CGI and media design at the Image and Media Technology department of the HKU way back in 1986. I did that for some 10 years for one day a week. More academies followed (Minerva - Media Design dept, HKU - Design Technology dept, Stint Lukas Brussels - animation dept, Artez - animation dept).
A couple of years I did an animation and photography summer workshop in the Spanish Pyrenees at La Colina.
I was asked for the animation commission board for the Netherlands Film Fund, the Flemish Film Fund and I was consultant for the Netherlands Institute of Animation Film.
I was guest lecturer at the Netherlands Film Academy (NFA), IMVFX department and at ArtEZ Zwolle. Currently I only do workshops. My adagium: under pressure everything becomes liquid. And as a workshop lecturer, you don't have to attend all those boring meetings other lectures have to.
The NFA graduation documentary film ‘Waarom bleef je niet voor mij?’ won in 2021 a GOLDEN STUDENT OSCAR in Holywood and the GOLDEN LION at Cinekid for best documentary. I advised for the animation part and profided the motion control facility.
I did a research and development trajectory at the NFA involving a VR application turning choreography and motion into a music sculpture. More here
Below some NFA propedeuse student results. The assignment was to make a style-frame of an imaginary film, inspired by Terry Gilliam, using miniature sets only as backdrop.
