During my internship, in addition to collaborating on various animation and film projects, I also worked on my own internship project. This was a corporate animation for Yellow Cubes Content. Before I started my internship I was very unfamiliar with animation, with good help and tips I learned a lot and eventually was able to create this sick end result.

I started my project out of my own curiosity and the research question:
What is different in how we, as a Dutch population, deal with social issues now compared to the past 60 years?
Besides film, I find people’s behavior very interesting. Why do people do what they do?
In this web series/short docu I reflect back on our behavior with a critical eye. How do we as humans react to major social problems, why did we behave that way then and what is the difference is how we react to these problems now?
With a mix of video and animation, I take you as a viewer through different social problems and our reaction to them.
During my gap year, I started experimenting with different types of video. Including mixed media.
I started working with this on one of my favorite scenes from one of my favorite movies, Aftersun.
Although this was mainly meant as an exercise and experiment, I do feel that I would like to experiment even more with this technique in the future.
