AW is a flexible team of freelance artists, but there are a few regular crew members. Left to right: Viktor Venema, Arjan Wilschut, Pascal Vermeersch, Nico van Biljouw. Composer and editor Dick Wilschut is nowhere to be seen, because he always takes the photographs!
Pascal Vermeersch joined AW on Penguins Christmas in 2003, and worked on pretty much every AW film and commercial since. He is a talented animator/ director from Gent, whose credits include key animation on fantastic feature films like Brendan and the Secret of Kells.
Viktor ‘Vector’ Venema has worked on every AW film since our very first production Shadows. As his nickname suggests, he is a real draftsman with a sharp line! He is also a talented Flash animator, and an experienced Disney artist at the Dutch Donald Duck magazine.
Nico van Biljouw is skilled in all kinds of software, but he specializes and excels in Flash, Animo, After Effects, WordPress and Joomla. He started on Penguins Christmas in 2003, and worked on every single AW film, commercial and website since.
Jelle Gijsberts a.k.a Jellepelle worked with AW for 6 months as a work experience student, but we learned just as much, if not more, from him. Although Jelle is a full-fledged, highly productive and busy illustrator now, we still work together on a regular basis.
Dick Wilschut is our editor, and the composer of our memorable scores for Penguins Christmas, Hard Boiled Chicken and Farmer Jack (with Ralf de Jong). He also wrote and performed the music for the Jellepelle websites Beloning van de Koning and Tekenclub.
