A Midsummer's Night Dream.

Played it with the whole class. Damn all people are retards in that play.

Come with an idea/concept.

Inspiration plus 1

Aaaah how do they make this stuff!

Virtual Pop Up Books

The Eco Zoo This is a super cute, child-friendly, 3D virtual pop up book, created in Papervision a real time engine in Flash. Too bad the animation is really, really fast. I can't seem to figure out how they made things pop. This is actually what I want, but without the the fast camera that goes from the cardboard construction to the pop books. Maybe more pages even and of course in my own style

Castle Vredenburg Also made in Papervision from Flash. Thanks to my dearest, who showed (off) me his work. It's really nice, though not everything is completely textured and not really all that flat. Still very nice.

More inspirational stuff:







Images from the Hungarian animation movie "District". A lot of planes with pictures that have been sketched on and also some cell-shading.





Paper childeren, how cool. Though it has to perspectively correct.



Paper Mario is not the best example, even though it's really flat, I don't get the paper feel.



Something very cool when I googled paper. It's a USB-paper-shredder in the shape of a curling/straightening iron 8D.

Lotsa cool origami inthis link

Still itchy hands

Aaarrghhh! homework, project, WTF! #planning

I'm the worst planner ever! #fail

Title: Pop up girl

New way of design in my project. Arnaud said: it's too much of a border. It would be far more immersing if it would go outside that border. He said make tons of planes with things you want to tell to the readers/audience. I wasn't too fond of it, because I tend to put myself in borders and limit myself and think: "No way I could do that" For this project I decided to stop doing that. Then we came to a compromise. Pop up book! You know those old skool children books with illustrations that literally popped up from the pages and you could do cool stuff with it.

So my magazine turned into a pop up book about me. Woohoo! Now looking for cool stuff that has to do with paper and pop ups.

If you're wondering why chose the title: Pop up Girl. It's pun intended and word play, I love them! Well the pop up part is the fact, it's going to be like a pop up book. Also the girl part is girl is actually pin up girl. I replaced pop for pin.



Very cute Rexona commercial.



Not the best quality and definitely a terrible song, but the clip is very cool done. I really get a shoe box peep show vibe.



I had to. I love this pop up, it looks so intricate! I want (to make) it!



An embodiment of me in a pop up?

If anyone knows something about this matter, please, please tell me.

Aah yiiii! Creative juices are flowing! My hands are itching to make this!
