May and June are busy (again)

~ Thursday June 05 2008 19:30
As you might have noticed, I’m not blogging or twittering that much at the moment. This is because of the May-June period. Like at school, people want their projects done before summer. The same is true with the projects that I’m doing right now. Therefore it is crunch time, every day, which is really exhausting.

There are some days that I just want to take a break, and sometimes I do take that break. In 2006 I went to the animecon for one day and that was so much fun that I wanted to go the whole weekend the next time. But last year I was so busy that I decided beforehand that I couldn’t go. This year I almost made the same decision at the last minute, but thank god I did go, because it was so much fun. I even bought some cosplay accessories. Next year I’ll probably buy or make a whole costume. People who never cosplayed before might find this hobby strange, but it isn’t that much different then buying all that orange junk you see in all the stores at the moment to support the Dutch soccer team.

Another thing I really enjoyed was going to Walibi a couple of weeks ago. To put it in perspective of how rarely I do stuff: I actually got sunburned in my face that day, and it wasn’t even that sunny at that time. Short day, but lots of fun.

Oh and one tiny thing: I returned to Hyves. They improved it enough that I can live with it. Besides, the big thing about social networks is that you can connect to your friends, and lets face it, in the Netherlands Hyves is the most popular social network, so all my friends are on it. Reason enough to let go of my feelings against Hyves and just enjoy the goodness it can offer.

So people, if you can’t seem to reach me these days, I’m busy, really busy and just leave me a message and I will return it when I have the time, but please excuse me if that takes some time.

About me

I am a video editor and web developer from the south of the Netherlands (Noord-Brabant), a town called Veldhoven, which is west of the City Eindhoven.

For years I have kept myself busy with audio and technology. Inspired by Herman van Veen, I started to play the violin at age 9 at the Veldhovense Muziekschool. I played until I was 13.

When I was 11, I started volunteering at our local radio/tv station (Stichting Lokale Omroep Veldhoven) where I started presenting a show called Kids Radio. After a few years I was the engineer and guide of the program. In the meanwhile I did a program called J.A.M. with my friends Jurjen van Loon and Marcel Kennis. We saw how the big boys were doing radio at 538 and wanted to replicated that as much as we could. After J.A.M. I did a clubmusic program Called Club Veldhoven, with my friends Richard van de Donk and Sjors van Dalfsen.

Because there was no audio school at the level I was at in 1998, I started studying Multimedia Design at the Graphic School in Eindhoven (now Called the Eindhovense School). In the second year, I made a video documentary about Walt Disney for the art history and appreciation class. The making of that documentary was so much fun, that I really wanted to learn more about post production. In the same year I started learning animation in Maya.

In 2000, I switched from radio to television at the local radio/tv station. With a group of people we made a registration of the Cult en Tumult Festival, one of the biggest free open air festivals in the Netherlands. In that schoolyear, I had traineeships at Verhagen and Dierks Media Productions. In the year that followed, I edited Floortje>> with Jurjen. In 2003 I started at the HKU, where I studied Audio Visual Media. I graduated in 2007 at editing.

Because of Evangelion and Love Hina, I became a big anime fan. In 2002 I started the fansite CardcaptorSakura.NL. Before anime, I was a Star Trek fan (I just watched, no cosplaying).

In 2004 I started my own company called Anillusion Digital Productions and did projects for Universal, MTV USA, Domusic and ds2p.
