Plunge (2011)
My graduation animated short film. Nominated for the Academic Achievement Award at ArtEZ Zwolle.
About the film:
The film is a semi-autobiographical tale showing among others modern madness, attention disorder, overindulgence, fear of death, being alone without loneliness. It has a loose narrative, almost sequential, encouraging the viewer to construct their own theories, while retaining a unity in theme and atmosphere.

Technical info:
Many techniques were used for Plunge, mostly it's live footage (some of it highspeed) shot in front of a green screen combined with cut-out animations. It was all brought to life in After Effects. The better part of the cutout figures are hand drawn and digitally coloured. There are also some simple 3d forms, such as the automobiles. All the compositing and 3d scenes are done in After Effects.
