Max Porter (1981, United States)<br />
(juni 2011 - augustus <strong>2012</strong>)<br />
During his final seven months at the <strong>NIAf</strong> Max<br />
Porter was able to completely re-evaluate<br />
his goals as an animation filmmaker. On<br />
the one hand, Ru and Max had wanted to<br />
experiment further with narrative possibilities.<br />
Living in a new country and being exposed<br />
to different cultures helped fuel a project<br />
that was beyond anything that they could<br />
possibly have imagined before they came<br />
to the Netherlands. While the development<br />
of their script was a lengthy, often circuitous<br />
process, it truly blossomed under the guidance<br />
of excellent guest critics and the support of<br />
the community at the <strong>NIAf</strong>. When they came<br />
to the <strong>NIAf</strong>, they had wanted to create a<br />
hybrid of computer animation and analogue<br />
techniques that built upon their previous<br />
work in general. With such a steep learning<br />
curve, having the time to learn new tools<br />
and techniques was an incredible privilege.<br />
Max left the <strong>NIAf</strong> in August with a completed<br />
proof-of-purpose test shot that laid a sound<br />
groundwork for the rest of the production.<br />
His time immersed in the supportive community<br />
at the <strong>NIAf</strong> led him to apply for teaching<br />
positions so that he could continue to<br />
participate in an educational arts community. In<br />
April, he was fortunate enough to be awarded<br />
a full-time teaching position at the Maryland<br />
Institute College of Art in the USA. His current<br />
success at the new organisation is in no small<br />
part due to the incredible growth that he<br />
experienced during his residency at the <strong>NIAf</strong>.<br />

Digna van der Put (1980, Nederland)<br />
(januari 2011 - december <strong>2012</strong>)<br />
Begin dit jaar is de korte animatie film PARADE<br />
van Digna in productie gegaan. Muziek heeft<br />
een leidende rol in deze film en daarom is<br />
componist Alex Debicki in een vroeg stadium<br />
bij de productie betrokken. Met foley-geluiden<br />
van een uniform heeft Alex een ritmische<br />
muziektrack gemaakt. Deze dient als basis om<br />
de animatie perfect te timen, en daarnaast<br />
inspireerde de muziek om een gedeelte van de<br />
