Afgelopen weekend vierde Wooncoöperatie De Warren haar derde verjaardag en werd ik geïnaugureerd als voorzitter! 🥳 Met dankbaarheid en trots neem ik het stokje over van Ellen Maassen.
In mijn speech benoemde ik de rituelen die zijn ontstaan binnen drie jaar jaar intensief samenwonen: het samen eten, vele vergaderen, de huisfeestjes en alle andere projecten! 🪴
I wanted to see if I could use leaves for 16mm direct animation. 🎞️
I got some foliage from the area outside my studio. 🍁
And taped this onto 16mm film leader using clear splicing tape. ✂️
I ran the film through my Lego filmscanner. 📸
And there you have it, a Stan Brakhage-inspired found foliage film! 🦋
This project is called Paint, draw scratch, bleed on me and leave me hanging. 🎞️
It invited people at a party to leave their mark on these 16mm film strips. 🖍️
I had these acrylic markers and nails hanging on the wall next to it and here you see me remove the work the next day. 🎨
I will post the results of this collaborative art work soon.

16mm direct animation! This is the result of a 2 hour workshop I gave in Amsterdam. I will also teach this workshop from my studio, let me know if you would like to join! 🎞️

Create a video feedback loop 🌀 using a TV 📺, video mixer 🎛️, camera 📹 and RCA cables 🔌!
The mixer is a Panasonic WJ-MX12 that I bought for 75 euros. The camera is my old Sony DCR-HC17E, a Mini-DV camcorder (actually this was my first camera!) 🎥
The video mixer allows me to change the colors and add effects such as strobe, mosaic and paint. 🎨✨

Mijn korte verhaal ‘De mentor en de stenen’ staat in Papieren Helden! ✨ Het gaat over een jonge, activistische wetenschapper die haar vroegere mentor achterna reist die zich van de wereld lijkt te hebben afgekeerd. Lees dit en andere verhalen nu in de nieuwe editie 'Pink Flamingo' van Papieren Helden! 🦩
Dankbaar en trots dat dit verhaal nu een plek heeft gevonden! 📚

🎙️ I’m working on an explainer video for Wooncoöperatie De Warren! Of course, with the residents themselves as the voice actors.

My video work “Steam” is now on display in the window of Cleerdin & Hamer Advocaten at Van der Helstplein in Amsterdam ✨ Come check it out together with 11 other works on view until March 6!
I’m a filmmaker always curious about exploring new techniques 🎥✨ Instead of doing this alone (or never finding the time to really dive in), I organize hands-on workshops where everyone is welcome to experiment together 🤝🎨

I made a 16mm film scanner using Lego technic! 🎞️⚙️
The film is slowly pulled by a motor, passing the frames in front of a camera with a macro lens that I picked up at MPB for 60 euros. The rig itself sits on a glass plate from my fridge. It films constantly, capturing all the frames as a video. Then I asked Chat GPT to write me a Python script that selects the frames and only keeps those where the sprocket holes are perfectly aligned.
