American Dollar on Motionographer
During my graduation at Onesize I worked on the videoclip for American Dollar. As of today the clip got promoted on Motionographer. I worked together with onesize on the concept and boards and made the decaying cottage you see in the clip.

Heerko Groefsema nominated for Online Dutch Film Festival
The Dutch Online Film Festival is a ‘virtual’ festival which hosts short movies in the categories drama, documentary, experimental and animation up to 30 minutes.
Out of hundreds of submissions the jury selected 58 short movies of which The Windmill was one. Today Giso Spijkerman and I were invited to come to the award show because we were on of the last three nominated. Unfortunately we didn’t win but we were very honored to be in the last three.
Maybe next year we’ve got some time to send in an even better movie and win gloriously.

“Een stoere jongen spreidt zijn breakdancematje uit in een Hollands landschap, vlak bij een windmolen. Hij zal wel eens laten zien wat de windmill, een van de meest virtuoze breakdancebewegingen, nou precies is. Dan daagt hij de molen uit. Waarop het bouwwerk uiterst cool reageert, met zwierende wieken en moeiteloos duizeldraaiend om zijn eigen as – alles perfect op de maat van de pompende beats.
Het even ingenieuze als originele The Windmill (Heerko Groefsema en Giso Spijkerman) is een van de bijna zestig filmpjes die vertoond worden in het kader van het Nederlands Online Film Festival (NOFF) – de interneteditie van het Nederlands Film Festival (NFF), dat momenteel in Utrecht plaatsvindt. The Windmill dingt mee naar de NOFF-juryprijs. Alle door het NOFF geselecteerde filmpjes maken kans op de publieksprijs, waarvoor nog gestemd kan worden”.

A while ago Giso Spijkerman and I made an intermission movie for the regional tv station Omrop Fryslan. The short clip tells the story of a modern Don Quichot (a breakdancer) who battles a windmill. The clip is on air daily now. The tv station decided to do a background story on the clips. Too bad I couldn’t be present at the interview but Giso did a great job to put in words what we did to create the movie. The language of the movie is in Dutch and Frisian.
