Looks like an international re-release for Miss Minoes, and well deserved too! Based on the classic children’s book by Annie MG Schmidt, this is one of the best films from the Netherlands. Arjan Wilschut animated the title sequence, and worked out some animation guides for the CGI animators.

AW crew
April 1st, 2011 | Blog | No Comments »
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.
AW Work Experience
April 1st, 2011 | Blog | No Comments »
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.
