It’s organized by the Dutch Game Garden [...]]]> Wednesday the 5th of november we’re going to give a presentation about the creative process behind Pivot at the Holland Animation Film Festival. Specificly in theater Kikker, Utrecht. We”ve been invited at the “Animation > 4 < Games” gathering, which focusses on the cross-over between animation and games. It’s organized by the Dutch Game Garden and the HAFF.

Moments before the premiere of Pivot we gave a very short presentation about the creative process behind the film. In 6 minutes and 40 seconds we tried to show all of our amazing artwork, research and tests. But of course that wasn’t enough time by a long shot! This time around we’ve got a full 30 minutes, so we can really show all the good stuff!

We feel like we are in a rollercoaster right now. It’s all one big rush of new experiences, red carpets, flashlights, interviews, presentations and great responses. This Friday will be the top of the climax where the Golden Calf (the Dutch Oscars) will be won by the best out of the three nominated.
