Rijksmuseum app animations.

Rijksmuseum App animations

Contracted by Manchester based Centrescreen Productions to produce a series of animations for a guided tour app for the reopening of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

Using items and high resolution scans of art work, including access to Rembrant sketches for one of his most famous works; Der Staalmeesters, this series of animations was created as part of an interactive tour guide app for visitors to the refurbished Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

“Noir” animation

Noir Animation

This is the first of three animations produced for musician Sam Biggs to showcase his musical talents. The project involves producing genre based animations, this one Noir (obviously). I never did get the audio for it.. but here it is anyway.

Lots of fun; shadows, gangsters, femme fatales and brutal shootings.

Backgrounds for the animation are all modelled in 3D and the characters are all hand-drawn.
