ART DIRECTOR & PRODUCTION DESIGNER

Leo de Wijs

I'm a Amsterdam based art director with a passion for production design for animation series and features.

I also like to tackle smaller creative challenges like illustrating for books and education and visualizing concepts for commercial projects.

Lecture

Lecture for students and industry professionals

I try to share my knowledge in production design for animation I build over the last decade in many ways. One of these ways is a hour long lecture as an introduction to what I find important for starting creatives in the field to think about. 

 

I have given this lecture to animation studios and art academies in the Netherlands, and I'm very much inclined to share it with more receptive audiences. Feel free to inquire me about it.
