New businesscards!

Jippie-a-jee! we have got some fantastic new animated businesscards, we have been handing them out now for a little while and everybody likes them very much.
Jellepelle made a video of it, check it out!

If you too like them, make sure to ask us for one next time you see us!

Zendium

Recently we have made this commercial for Zendium Toothpaste, for Unilever.
We did all the animation, the motion tracking, and the compositing.
The drawings of the mouths were designed by Martijn Rijven.
the live action was shot by CZAR , and graded by Framelab.
The commercial agency was Being There, and this job was brought to us by our agents at Shop Around. Working with so many parties wasn't always easy, but the result came out very nice!

Protesting @ Mars der Beschaving

This weekend we have been protesting against the cuts that our government announced on funding of Arts and Culture, a serious matter! Many institutes, galleries and artists will not survive this ruthless cut. Together with a few thousand others we did a long nightly March, and we protested on the Malieveld in The Hague. Next morning I was on the news.

Anniversary

Hip Hip Hooraah!
today is our official Ka-ching Cartoons Birthday!
Four years ago we went to the Chamber of Commerce to sign us up as a real company, we have been busy ever since. Lets hope for many more years!

Archilos

This is a short promotional film we made for Archilos. The company is run by Niels Plaisier, who happens to be our neighbour here at the Schieblock. Yes, you are right he's an actual superhero!

It was fun to work with him.

lion

Fabrique asked us if we could help them out with this job.
Their client was preparing a pitch for a Dutch bank, and needed some animations.
We had to design the character and animate him, all in 2 days.
the result is pretty nice!

T-Mobile

Recently we have made a very nice video for T-mobile and one of their new business-services.
We designed and animated this 4 minute video where they explain that they offer you to have one number connected to multiple phones.
you can watch the video here:


We have made this video for T-Mobile through Publicis thanks to our agents @ Shop Around

get your plane cancelled, ' Ka-ching ' -style

Last week we flew back from a great trip in Annecy.
Unfortunally our flight got cancelled, and we had to wait 24 hours to get another one.
Luckily for us the Flightcompany arranged a stay for us in the 5-star Crowne Plaza Hotel in Geneva, where we could enjoy lots of luxury, swimming pool, sauna, steamroom, good food etc.
Just like home!
