AW have been extremely lucky with work experience students:
3D animator/designer Johannes Bevelander (Top left) worked on Shadows and Penguins Christmas before continuing his studies, and becoming a senior animator at Mirage 3D.
Later we were briefly joined by the fabulous Joost van den Bosch and Erik Verkerk of Ka-Ching Cartoons (Top Right), who animated on Hard Boiled Chicken and a Kinder commercial. Recently they helped us out with fantastic 3D animation for Farmer Jack.
Then followed awesome illustration talent Jelle ‘Jellepelle‘ Gijsberts (photo: bottom left), who illustrated Beloning van de Koning, designed Santa Story, and worked on the Calvé and Malmberg jobs. An inspiring and colourful character, and still a regular collegue.
We then had the honour of working with Digna van der Put, a talented animator with a natural sense of movement and storytelling. She worked on the AH Smurfs TV ad, and her Farmer Jack scenes are among the best in the film.
Last, but certainly not least, we were briefly joined by talented animator/ designer and director Yi Zhao (photo: bottom right). Although the production did not allow more than a short work experience, Yi’s brilliant animation, effects and ideas for Farmer Jack were very valuable.
