"I am searching for abstract ways of expressing reality. Abstract forms that will enlighten my own mystery."

The reel is a compilation of past projects; existing of commercial- and independent projects. A lot of work is done at, and in co-operation with, the amazing motion studio Onesize ( onesize.nl ). My role varied from (co-)direction to (post) production, but mostly art direction. Nowadays I work as independent director & designer.

Studio Takt ( studio-takt.com ) did an outstanding job with his futuristic, cutting-edge music and sounddesign!

  •  
  • Toby Anthonisz 1 year ago
    yep, I had to watch that twice in a row. Especially enjoyed the 'breakdown' as it were mid way through, the darkness, slow movement and low sound, it showed a higher understanding of motion and timing beyond all the technical abilities on display. Totally inspiring!

    Whole music is great but the moment from 1:46 is killing me... <3 Is there any option to get that music?
  •  
  • Zach Eastburg plus 1 year ago
    wow this is how a reel should look.
    Despite being 2minutes long, you've managed to hold interest the whole time. Great editing and timing with music, the lull and energy builds are perfect.

    Great you like it so much! I will see if I can make a mini, mini site for downloading the audio. Btw you can check more from Studio Takt on soundcloud.com/krampfhaft that's his artist name.
  • Adam Blumert 1 year ago
