Designs doc 'Poor us: an Animated History'

I have uploaded a compilation of my designs for the doc 'Poor us: an Animated History', produced by Submarine.nl and part of the Why Poverty series of documentaries.

Poor Us: An Animated History







In case you missed it on Dutch tv, here's the link to the documentary "Poor us: an animated history" I have collaborated (drawings above ready to be animated) shown last sunday on Vpro. 

Part of the Why Poverty global event, the documentary mixes traditional animation, motion graphics and live action, this is a very inspiring project and I am delighted to have been part of.

The doc. will be broadcasted worldwide by 75 tv senders, amongst which BBC and ARTE.
Enjoy!
