Playgrounds opening titles

Playgrounds opening titles | Art Department 2021.

This particular animation is made in collaboration with four others, in the name of ‘Any Mate’, an animation studio I was part of during my Masters of Animation.
I was the producer, director, writer, storyboard artist, rough & clean animator for this project.
 
I wanted to create a fun ninja-action-90’s-animated-intro-series feeling. I thought that would be great way to introduce the names of the speakers at Playgrounds | The Art department.
I wanted the characters to contribute to diverse representation in animated content.
 
This animated piece is only a part of the whole opening titles of Playgrounds | The Art Department.
 
Music: Mark Vays
Co-producer: Cox Janssens
Art director: Femke Janssen
Any Mate: Cox Janssens, Anna Valkanou, Femke Janssen, Rachelle Bakker & Jorinde Hol
