Fox and Hare
ROLE
Set Designer
DESCRIPTION
The Fox and Hare animated series is based on the popular Dutch illustrated children books by writer Sylvia Vanden Heede and illustrator The Tjong-Khing.
For the animated series the original pen and watercolour style illustrations was adapted to a three dimensional style - a hybrid between clay models and 3D computer animation. I was tasked to adapt the visual style from the books and design sets that work the animated series needs.

From book to film
The Tjong-Kings illustrations for Fox and Hare are wonderful. But places, like the burrow they live in, look a little bit different in each book they appear in. It was my challenge to make 'definite' versions for the animation - and give them more depth and light - something the 3D artist at the animation studio pushed even further.
Night and day
Another fun design challenge for this series was that a lot action plays at different times of day. So I made a lot of different light designs for various sets on the show.
