About last weekend: we were shooting footage for Headkick at a gig in the Kompass Klub. Not only to create a promovideo or Headkick, but also to give our team enough reference footage to build a 3D-avatar of this bad boy 👹

RTÉ (Ireland) and Ketnet (Belgium) have created a new live-action series (eight x 24 minutes) called "Louise Lives Large" for kids ages 9 to 13, which is about a teen cancer survivor working her way through a bucket list of all the things she has always wanted to do.

As you can see in the first shots of the trailer, Louise has no eyebrows. Luckily the actress did not have to shave them since we were able to digitally remove her eyebrows in all shots within the opening sequence of the series.

Stay tuned for a breakdown next week!

Exciting news about Immuno-T!

Remember Professor Tessa Kerre's brilliant idea to explain cancer treatments in a way everyone could understand? Well, we've been working hard to take her interactive motion comic to the next level!
After two years of design and development, Immuno-T has had an amazing transformation:

- Everything's now 100% redone in 3D
- We have comic book-style explanations AND animated videos
- There's even a cool VR experience at Living Tomorrow!

Why? Because understanding modern cancer treatments should be easy for patients, families, and anyone curious. The best part? It's still free and available on web, iPhones, and Android phones!

Thanks to UZ Gent, Ghent University, CRIG, and ION, we're making cancer education clearer for everyone.

Stay tuned for more updates!

"In the good old days it took 500 artists five years to make a world-class animated movie. I think it won’t take 10% of that three years from now," he claimed during a panel.

Een videoboodschap aan onze vrienden van BNI De Metten, Brugge - België! 🦾😘

Beste Metters,

Wie is hier bang om werk te verliezen door artificiële intelligentie? Luister goed: dat is niet nodig!

Want geen enkele robot gaat ooit…
zo’n lekker vleesje maken als Gerrit.
Of ons een wijntje serveren zoals Régine.
En ons nadien veilig naar huis voeren met de Audi zoals de Nico.

En ben je toch nog angstig of gestresst, kom eens op advies bij Skerm West 📺🎞️

Deze volledige video werd op minder dan 10 uur ontwikkeld a.h.v. AI (artificiële intelligentie): muziek, achtergronden, personages, animatie van de mond, … Enige “menselijke” arbeid was het idee, de voice-over en de creatieve blik en kennis om alles in de juiste richting te duwen. Kortom: audiovisuele content maken werd een pak budgetvriendelijker, en wij bij Skerm West leren je graag hoe ook jij hier gebruik van kan maken
