The 2022 edition of the Brabantsedag, a theatrical parade of floats in the Netherlands, finally presented the perfect use. <br><br>Our theme for that year focused on the colorful fantasy of children, and how imagination creates life &amp; keeps us connected to our deceased loved ones. We enhanced that feeling by bringing fantasy creatures to life via animation. These painterly friends help the children fly their airships to their final destination. The complete picture resulted in an emotional combination of playful imagery with an incredibly sad undertone. It&#8217;s one of my favorite creations I&#8217;ve been a part of so far. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-a786ab40 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mattyjorissen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Brabantsedag-De-Rijten-karton-ontwerpschets-1024x332.jpg\" alt=\"Brabantsedag 2022 - De Rijten: Fantasie Doet Leven ontwerpschets\" class=\"uag-image-862\" width=\"1024\" height=\"332\" title=\"Brabantsedag-De-Rijten-karton-ontwerpschets\" role=\"img\" \/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">Sketch by Matty Jorissen<br>Colors by Wijnand Driessen<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\">For the parade float, next to being heavily involved in creating the concept and developing the storytelling, I sketched out designs for 6 cardboard fantasy air vehicles. I also created 7 animations that looped on screens built into the floats. It was especially fun coming up with wacky movements and surreal imagery we normally couldn\u2019t pull off in a parade, because of pesky real-life physics. Since the float was made of cardboard, I incorporated cardboard elements into the animation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0237704c wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-59507b35 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mattyjorissen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Matty-Jorissen-Brabantsedag-Rijten-animatie-2-1024x717.jpg\" alt=\"Creating animation for a De Rijten cardboard parade float, Brabantsedag\" class=\"uag-image-859\" width=\"3078\" height=\"2154\" title=\"Matty-Jorissen-Brabantsedag-Rijten-animatie-2\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-5115f311 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mattyjorissen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Matty-Jorissen-Brabantsedag-Rijten-cardboard-creations-1024x717.jpg\" alt=\"Cardboard creations for De Rijten parade float, Brabantsedag\" class=\"uag-image-860\" width=\"3078\" height=\"2154\" title=\"Matty-Jorissen-Brabantsedag-Rijten-cardboard-creations\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\"><br>This video presents a brief overview of how I made the animations and what they looked like in the parade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8baf313d wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-ca499381 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mattyjorissen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Matty-Jorissen-Brabantsedag-Rijten-animatie-1-1024x1015.jpg\" alt=\"Animatie voor De Rijten, Brabantsedag\" class=\"uag-image-858\" width=\"428\" height=\"424\" title=\"Matty-Jorissen-Brabantsedag-Rijten-animatie-1\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-8fc88c4b wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mattyjorissen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Cardboard-Robot-Brabantsedag-Parade-541x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Brabantsedag 2022 - De Rijten - Cardboard Parade Float with Animations\" class=\"uag-image-856\" width=\"1673\" height=\"424\" title=\"Cardboard-Robot-Brabantsedag-Parade\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"padding-top:0;padding-bottom:0\"><br>Come visit the Brabantsedag in Heeze, The Netherlands (near Eindhoven) if you can.
