How deep can you fake it?
This clip shows Jim Carrey as Jack Torrance by implanting the Ace Ventura star's face on Jack Nicholson's body using the AI technology.

Voor het Interprovinciaal Overleg (IPO) maakte Crooked Line een animatie over de Provinciale staten. Maar ehhmmmm... Wat doet de provincie eigenlijk?

Van infrastructuur en openbaar vervoer tot regionale economie en natuurbeheer. De provincie bepaalt hoe onze omgeving wordt ingericht.

Maar iedereen wil iets anders met dat kleine stukje land.
De provincie weegt al deze belangen af en maakt keuzes die in het belang zijn van de regio.

Best belangrijk dus!

TBT - Trailer for LAFF

Throwback Thursday to...
Back in 2013 we created this exuberant animation celebrating a bright and vivid Latin America. We tried to show the broad and contrasting world of Latin American life. Touching on dance, religion, revolution and many other themes in this short roller-coaster of images.

Unfortunately the festival didn't survive the budget cuts in the culteral sector, but this trailer lives on!

Big shout out to our former interns Linn Fritz and Sebastian Dráb who graced us with their presence and now are rockstar animators!
And thanks to KLOAQ Audio Design for creating the music.

Big Brother or Privacy?

Heya Big Brother! Get that camera out of my face!

How do you protect your citizens but also protect their privacy? How do you shield yourself from cybercriminals in a society where everything you do is recorded and stored in the cloud?
