Joris Van Laar Animator at Little Chicken

Little Chicken

Many congratulations to Animation Apprentice graduate Joris Van Laar, who is working as an animator at the Little Chicken Game Company, an Amsterdam based studio that has been designing award winning games since 2001.

Joris got his start in games working as a producer, where he gained valuable experience about creative team leadership.

Working in games, Joris spent long nights working on his animation reel, and finally broke into the industry as an animator.

Joris describes his creative passion as creating "unique experiences that have an impact on people, or better yet, to spark the imagination of others through storytelling".

He also describes being an animator as "the best job in the world".

Joris took the 30 week animation course at Animation Apprentice (well, 34 weeks these days, including the four extra free weeks), and cut an excellent demo reel, which you can see below.
