We are working on a strategy game best described as a roguelite XCOM in a dark fantasy setting. I'm looking forward to sharing more about our project soon!

Amsterdam Area, Netherlands

In a nutshell I make the narrative setting for our games feel tangible and make sense. Most recently I did this for Horizon Forbidden West and it's DLC The Burning Shores.My team is small, consisting of animators, tech animators and designers, but in order to create our content we must work closely with almost every other team at Guerrilla. For the most involved teams I try and make sure they hire a specialist who’s main task is to look after our content.I am the vision holder for Living World which means I spend my time developing ideas and then negotiating and persuading other teams to work with us. Keeping the vision on track requires constant vigilance and renewed collaborator buy-in, so I keep myself busy.If you are curious and have a GDC Vault pass have a look at my 2023 presentation https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1029117/Game-Narrative-Summit-Creating-a

I was responsible for making the cutscenes for Enslaved: Odyssey To The West and its DLC. This involved everything from working with our mocap outsource partner to hands-on animation work. I ensured that they were delivered on time and to spec.

I was the senior animator on the cutscene team for Killzone 2. Together with the director I was responsible for realizing the cutscenes from conception to finish. This involved a lot of problem solving and coordination with code, art and design to get the high quality that we wanted.I animated everything for Killzone:Liberation for the PSP including the in-game cutscenes. I also animated all the cameras and did most of the scripting for the cutscenes and was generally responsible for getting them out the door.- I worked as an animator on the pre-rendered cutscenes for Killzone 1 and did some post-production effects for them.Primary software used: Maya and some Motion Builder

Character animation for the film "Terkel I Knibe".This was quite an intense project. I made on average 12 seconds per day.Primary software used: 3D Studio Max

I worked on the animated/live-action TV-show "Blobheads".I made on average 5 seconds per day of full body and facial animations. Most scenes would have 2-3 characters.Primary software used: Lightwave

I animated on the TV-show "Bob's Beach" and on the film "Renart The Fox".I made about 5 seconds of full performance animation per day.Primary software used: 3D Studio Max
