Best Birthday Ever

Rough & tie-down animator

[Feature Film]

Synopsis: Best Birthday Ever is a feature length animation film based on the famous book series Karlchen (aka Little Charlie) by the renowned German author Rotraut Susanne Berner, about the small rabbit youngster Little Charlie who lives with his parents, mother and father Nicholl, and their pets Chicken and Cookie in a house at the edge of town. Little Charlie is used to having his parents’ full attention, but that changes when his baby sister Clara is born.

My role was rough and tie-down animation under the supervision of Bouwine Pool and Anneke de Graaf. I enjoyed this project a lot because the style was relatively simple for a feature, meaning everyone could do a lot of different shots in a small amount of time. Working with Michael Ekblad as the director was a true pleasure.
