composer, editor and producer, often together in one project.
He worked for clients as Nike, Francois Geurds, In de keuken van Floris, Het Proces, Joseph Guy, Showroom MAMA, Magnum and WDKA. This is where he started exploring Blender and applying this in commercial projects.
In 2016 he switched to becoming a 3D artist, working with Blender and loving this software. This led to a job he landed at Submarine Studios, where he worked as a 3D/VFX artist for Undone, a 2D animation series directed by Hisko Hulsing and created by the writers behind Bojack Horseman. Undone season 1 was released in autumn 2019 on Amazon Prime. Season 2 will be arriving soon.
Nick is now focused on looking for new projects with a high artistic level where he can contribute as a 3D/VFX artist.
Besides working as a 3D artist, Nick spends time making music as Minor Planet Magdalena (soundcloud link).
