• Animated short - Baby Doom Sings Money

    ‘Baby Doom Sings Money’ was made to convince the jury of the Dutch Film Fund that the technique i had in mind was actually possible (they said not and did not grand me the money for making Deep Shit). This is my first ever After Effects work, so be merciful. I had help by Rosto and Balder Westein, who knew much more of After effects than I did, obviously.

    Basically, this is a clay doll that was taken apart and all limbs and parts were photographed from all sides. The photos were coloured in Photoshop and in After Effects I put all limbs together again in layers, that could switch on or off depending on the desired perspective. Of course soon after there were many options for rigging characters, and Deep Shit was only partially made in After Effects, but hey, at the time it was a good idea. A bit laborious though…
