Animation results Minor

I never told how my minor period went, so I'm doing now.
Actually... There's not very much to tell, but there are some things I can show you. I've helped Marsha out with background animations, furthermore I'm still coloring shots at this moment, though I am having an internship in Amsterdam at the moment.
I do miss school a little bit, I especially miss being at the place you need to be in 5 minutes. It takes 4 hours traveling a day to Amsterdam, before I'm present at the studio. I do like the studio very much and I feel I ended up in the right place. I have very nice collagues and there is a very good atmosphere at work.

I do think that time goes rather quick and I can't keep up with how fast it's going.. I think it's a pity I barely have a month left, and thinking about how fast the last 2 months have gone, it will be over in a blink of an eye.
I will be able to accompany Aimée de Jongh to Annecy Animation Film Festival though, and that makes me very happy. I'm really looking forward to that week. It was arranged so suddenly that I haven't really adjusted to the idea yet, I didn't think it would be possible to go to Annecy, because I thought it would cost a lot of money, but I bought my flying ticket last week, got my festival accreditation from the producer Jantiene and I can sleep with Aimée and her friends for an affordable price in an appartment! I'm learning a lot and I'm thinking a lot about what I'm going to do when my study is over.

Anyway, I wanted to show you the animations I've done for Marsha's graduation movie, colored and all. There's some repetition in the animations, so you have the time to examine them better, because they're rather short. Also there are sometimes more animations in one video.

Animating deer

This is some of my work the past few weeks.
I'm working on school every day with fourth grade students, Marsha, Fieke and Jordie.
Gladys, who is in the same class as me, is also present.

It's really nice to work with people you like. We also make tea and listen to the radio all day long.

Anyway, Marsha tells me which scenes need to be done and where there are deer in the background. She also gives me instructions that the deer in the background shouldn't distract from the actual animation in front.
It's really nice to get so much feedback, I'm learning really fast and Marsha guides me well :)

So, here are some results of the past few weeks. It's not much, but I'm on my way.

(In some videos I made Marsha's work invisible, because I felt it's not mine to share on the internet. I didn't think much harm would be done with the deer eating.)

Deer

I'm helping out a fourth-year student with her project. The story is about death falling in love with life, and life is being symbolized by a deer.

This is her webpage with a few pictures of the project : http://marshagallery.blogspot.com/

I'm going to help her out with animating deer in the background. So I'm doing a little research right now. The following is not really mine, there are links mentioned, where I got the images from.

Besides these cycles that I have arranged, I have drawn more deer today. This morning I realized I still didn't really understood how to draw a deer, so I've practiced all day and my results are below. I'm pretty pleased with how they came out, and now I have the confidence it will work out during animating.
