TREEHUGGERS - march - august 2007
Due to requests made by several animation festivals, I can not
show this animation on the website, at this moment. A short
clip however can be found in my fall 2007 demoreel.

DESCRIPTION: Graduation Project
The Treehuggers project is based on the research of my thesis
'Immersive Animation,' in which I try to answer the question:
'How can a higher degree of immersion be reached in the
medium of animation?' Immersion, in the context of this thesis,
is the feeling of being or going into an environment.
The end result of the project consists of two parts: The
Treehugger Pod and the Treehugger Animation. The first is
designed in such a way to form an ideal viewing environment
in which the immersive animation can be experienced. The
animation in its turn is designed to immerse the spectator
as much as possible, based on the theories presented in
the thesis.
The world of the Treehuggers itself, is a place that is
extremely environmental friendly. The people in this world are
very conscious of their environment and live in harmony with
all living things. This overall view on life has resulted in a
very unique architectural style and technology, that has as
little impact on the environment as possible and uses wind,
water, solar and muscle power in inventive ways.
