Aurora internship finished

This is kind of a late message. Because I finished my internship the 15th of June.
But I haven't had the time to tell you how it went, due to holidays etcetera.

My internship went very well, I'm really really proud to have been there and that I helped. One month ago there was the première in the Tuschinski theater in Amsterdam, and I said back then that I couldn't have imagined myself standing there 4 months ago.
Everything went so fast. I've learned so much in such a short notice.

I've had the pleasure to get to know more people in the animation field, I got to go to Annecy 2012, I've never had such a clear view of what I want to do next year, although I still have a lot of choices to make, but instead of having to make a choice what road to take of a 100, I think I've limited myself to about 8.
Apart from all of this, I don't think I really understood in the beginning that the short that I was working on would be played in Pathé cinemas. I think I didn't really grasp that part. So after 3 months of hard work and traveling from Breda to Amsterdam, it kind of came to me that this opportunity was so special, and that I couldn't have had a better place then this...

Tomorrow will be the REAL première, because Aurora will be played before the movie Abraham Lincoln; the Vampire Hunter. And because Abraham Lincoln is premiering tomorrow, Aurora is aswell.
The ironic/sad/coincedence part is that we wanted our short to be played before The Dark Knight Rises at first (months ago), but after last events we're really glad it didn't. It would have been such a sad coincedence, and I guess our short would have been taken out of the cinemas.
If anyone of America reads this blog, by any chance, I'm so sorry for what happened in Aurora, it's so cruel...

I'm not really sure what I can actually show you, without betraying something of our short (I can probably show it in the fall, when it's more widely known)
But I do want to share a few sketches, and the trailer of Aurora. I had to animate a tree, and I had to get my inspiration of the scene in which Snow White is running through the Haunted Forest. It was a long process of changing and altering, making the tree even more scarier, I think in the end it came out well. (I also animated some other things, but this was my main duty)
If you live in Holland, go see Abraham Lincoln ;)
