about blink:
We are a small media company from the Netherlands. We translate ideas to visual media and are always on the look out for a good story to tell.

Story behind the stopmotion:
This is our first stopmotion, never done it before. We were inspired by all the cool stopmotion movies out there on the interwebs. We started creating our storyline in 2008.

It is about the creative process of ideamaking. It's about the struggle and cooperation between Adam and Tijmen.

It is about the creative process of ideamaking. The struggle, cooperation and synergy between us.

Some interesting facts:
- Our budget was about 900 euro
- We built the set and did testruns in 10 days
- It was shot with our Nikon D40 and Nikon D60 and our Lowel-Light Tota/Omni core 55 Kit
- Recorded it with a macbook pro and Dragonstopmotion software
- We shot the whole thing in 4 days
- Shot/used 2500/1700
- Editted in Photoshop (masking, drawing, color correction, simple effects). This was the most time consuming of the project
- Finally put the piece together in adobe Premiere to get the timing right.
- We were inspired by the book "blink" it's interesting stuff gladwell.com/blink/index.html

On the 4 shooting days we had help from our intern, Joeri and our girlfriends Margriet and Jeannette gave us a hand on the last day.
