Internship NMtrix

A day after I got home from Gobelins Summer School and a few days holiday in Paris I started an internship for over the summer. I have to do an internship for my school next year, from May untill September, but I thought I could use some more practice. Plus the fact that I'll be able to use the skills from the summerschool right away. 

So when I saw that NMtrix Animation Studio in Alkmaar (about 15 minutes by train from the place I live) were hiring I asked them if they could use someone for over the summer and they offered me an internship.
Eventhough it's been for only a short time I do have the feeling I learned a lot. For example; I've never worked in 3Ds Max before, but now I can work with it (at least for animating). And I think I did progress during the time I worked there (I've now got only one week left). It was a good experience too, to just see what it's like to work at a studio who mostly work (at the time) for a children's serie and sort of commercial work. They work so fast! The Tumblies (the children's serie) are about 90 seconds, and usually make one episode in just a few days.

I worked on some commercial things, the Tumblies and an "Olympic Art"-thing. Art is the mascotte of NMtrix. We made some short animations to celebrate the Olympics.

This is one mine:
