Voor de komende 10 weken kan men weer een animatie cursus volgen (gegeven door mij) in Ravenstein. De gegeven cursus biedt iedere week inzicht in een animatie techniek (zoals tekenanimatie, cut out animatie, zand op glas, etc.). De cursus bestaat uit 2 uur p.w. en is duurt 10 weken.
Na deze cursus zijn de cursisten hebben ze 10 kleine animatiestukjes en zijn ze zelf in staat om vervolgens een korte animatie te maken en zelf met animatie verder te gaan.
Mocht je geinteresseerd zijn in deelname of naar de vele mogelijkheden, aarzel niet om contact op te nemen.
Animal photography workshop
I followed a photography workshop by Ron Baltus www.ronbaltus.nl - who is a specialist on animal photography; both in studio as outside in action (agility, jumping, etc).
During the day, we recieved some theory with technical information which we put into practise. We used his two beautiful dogs as our models and did various excersizes (portrait, catching ball, agility, tracking, panning, running side, running towards, etc).
It was an extremely usefull workshop and I learned a lot about my camera and it's technicallities. I used an "old" canon 350D body, which for example had difficulties with certain excersizes such as tracking. It was really nice to learn about the influences your kit makes to the photographs you take. Despite my oldtimer, I came home with some really cool photographs!!
I really enjoyed doing this and I'm looking forward to do some more... also started my wishlist for christmas; canon angle finder... new canon body... XD
Animation Workshops
A few weeks ago I started with Animation Workshops at a local high school in the neighbourhood. Here I am introducing the childern to animation. Each week they develop a little short story which in the end will all put toghether and shown at 'the schools festival'.
The childeren seem very interested in animation and it is a real blast introducing them to this amazing media!
Pictures and movies will follow!

Model (studio) photography
Did some model/studio photography a while ago.
Saw them yesterday again while going through my external drive and decided to alter some in photoshop. I only needed the desaturation and levels tool to get this result (more photo's on the photography page)

Review on 'GALLOP'
Today I googled myself to see what's happing online with my name, and I came across a very interesting thing: I found a (short) review on 'GALLOP' - my very experimental animation film about the canter of a horse.
The review was about a certain program and stated:
This lightness and playfulness also struck me in Dominique Bongers’s Gallop, a visual experiment with a nod to Eadweard Muybridge’s flying horse

Product photography
For a small independent artist, I did some product photography.
The artist "Benil" makes 'zeepjes', a product that can be hanged all over around the house giving the place a certain smell. Depending on he colours (red = rose, blue = sea minerals, purple = lavender, etc) each 'zeepje' contains it's own smell and can be hanged thoughout the house, for example, in the wardrobe closet, on the toilet, bathroom, washroom, etc.
This product is the successor of potpourri which is now turned into a little art piece, which is an amazing gift to give as well as to recieve.

New abstract photography

Dog Photoshoot
Here are some photographs of a dog I photographed.
The dog's name is Dazzle and she was a joy to work with. On the pictures she is only 10 weeks old. She is an Australian Kelpie, a 'sheepdog' which is famous for being the only one walking over the backs of the sheeps while doing their job.
Please click further to my 'photographs' or my flickr account for more pictures of this amazing dog and other photographs.

Ami got a Daily Deviantion
Completely clueless, I recieved a message in my email inbox that I should check my deviant account. And guess what i found: On the 15th of January 2011 Ami recieved a daily deviantion. This is a daily honour that account users can give to someone simply cause they enjoy their art so much that they wanna share this with the rest of the world (so a daily deviantion give extra attention to the art work). And indeed it did. I recieved tons of messages saying that they enjoyed the film.
"With a creative twist in using coffee instead of sand on glass, Ami by ~Persnikitie is an endearingly charming animation that is bound to tug at the heart strings." Written By Suggester (Suggested by *Negshin and Featured by ^ArtisnotanAccident)
For this I would like to thank Negshin (Nusha Amini) for suggesting Ami and her kind words.
Ami goes to REDCAT!!! (Los Angeles, California)
Just recieved a lovely message from Elizabeth Shepherd (Director, Children's Film Festival
OMG 'Ami' is gonna jump around in the Disney CalArts Theater... ^-^
Maybe she'll bump into Mickey Mouse (hope she comes back with an autograph)...
