Heineken + Tribal DDB

Last week Heineken launched a new design projected that will be hosted at Milan Designweek this summer. Tribal DDB contacted Woodwork to produce a short film to excite young and upcoming designers to apply. Fashion, graphic, motion, interior and product designers are invited to form a multidisciplinary design exploration team and imagine and create the future in collaboration with Heineken.

I worked as co-designer and animator on this project together with Jeff Beukema. We ended up using a few things that where new to me: Unfurl plugin for Cinema4D, Plexus and Trapcode Form.

Fierce Earth

A kind soul uploaded an episode for Fierce Earth on to youtube. Its the first time I have been able to see it. My contribution in this episode is between 1:25 - 1:56. Not the best video quality though. What do you guy’s think?

I worked on this show last year. I did 3D graphics for 8 episodes. If you are located in the UK, you should be able to see the show online!

Trouw


First lone-wolf project for Woodwork. We got the job after going to the opening party of Amsterdam based agency Kokoro! Nice guys. They asked us to create a tag-on for there new Trouw commercial. Check out the whole piece here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvSKBsu1KWg

Woodwork

Back in Amsterdam since about 2 month! Just started a as a junior creative. Got a cool new email adress also at david@woodwork.nl if you wanna say hello!

Woodwork is a 1 year old motion graphic studio based in Amsterdam. We are a small team of 5 with a large variety of Amsterdams finest freelancers.

The Existential Adventures of Tim Maia: Nobody Can Live Forever

So this was my last project with Superheroes Amsterdam I worked on before moving back to Stockholm. It’s a 2D animated film about the greatest and craziest soul singer you have never heard of! Tim was a soul grenade that exploded in the 70s. He single handedly revolutionized Brazilian popular music and had the best time ever doing it. His story is one of humourous excess in every way imaginable and there’s something for all the family: drugs, women, money, guns and even a UFO cult thrown in.

Superheroes worked very close with Shoparound on this project. Momo & Sprits made great illustrations and Fred Huergo, Zoltan Korai and me made it move. Gareth Broadbent wrote a great script and we had the honor of having Devedra Banhart reading it.

Also happy to have it featured on It’s Nice That
