Let's get this party started!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Joost Vis, and I am a 2D animation student from Holland. I am currently in my last year, and am now in the planning phases for my graduation animation. For this animation I intend to make a pilot for an animated series, something that is extremely rare in Holland. People over here tend to make either commercial animations, or animated shorts. Though those might be great fun in and of themselves, I think there are plenty of Dutch animators who would like to go more towards the animated series branch. 

So what is my goal? My goal is, firstly, to graduate. But that won't be as hard. What's more important, is that I am going to try create a Dutch animation company that will be making animated series. That's a very, very though goal, and it might be way too ambitious. But nobody seems to be doing it, so I will probably be the very first to try this.

In this blog, I will try and keep you updated on my project. I will try and give you a 'behind the scenes' look. I will post my sources of inspiration, as well as how my research and the project itself are going. This way, by the end, I hope to have a great 'diary' for the project, that is not only interesting to me, but also to people who are working with me, or want to do so in the future. Feel free to comment in any way or at any time! All help is appreciated.

To infinity, and beyond!

Joost
