Gijs van Kooten, 3d Design

My second short, made in the first few weeks of my second year in art school. Fun times. We had very little time to think of a concept, and the main and only character had to be ourselves (yes, I normally have a beard) AND, it had to be done with motion capture. We did it all, record the material in a fancy suit, clean it, intergrate it. Unfortunately not rendered yet, but up here regardless :)

My first "short" made in my first year of art school. Haven't taken the time to render it yet, so it's only on half resolution, seeing as it isn't a finished product just yet!

My first 3d lip-synch, I made this halfway through my first year at art school.

First animation assignment for 3d animation class! Sort of lost the file, so here it is unrendered :(

The answer to the question asked in the animation under this one. I made these two simultaneously for school.

This was the first time we had to mess with lip-synching. Due to lack of time I didn't get to record it very well :( It's supposed to go with the animation above this one!

Made this at the end of the first half of the first semester (yes yes). It's about a bee...

My very first animation! Made it at my first week at school. Just a 12 frame loop to get into it.

A short making of of the video directly below here. Shows what render passes we used. The mesh-warp in post was necessary because SOMEONE screwed up with the projection in maya and SOMEONE ELSE forgot to check... Both me. Oh well!

A short effects shot I did with two classmates. I did all the water simulation and rendering, the HDR imaging, projection and compositing was done by my classmates.

A short 'making of' of the video just below here. Forgive the Dutch captions, can't be bother to redo it. After Effects and compressions are not my friends :( Shit always turns out differently. NODE-BASED COMPOSITING HERE I COME.

My first time using the blue-screen technique. Yes, that is me in Batman Begins. We only had one day to think of an idea, so I'm afraid I couldn't do much better; also colour grading isn't one of my advanced skills yet, but hey, gotta start somewhere.
