Remon de Jong about: How to create an animation

“The best part of creating animations is the variety. Each project brings a new surprise, and I always strive to do something different. Animation constantly challenges me to grow and evolve.”

“I also enjoy collaborating across various disciplines—combining image, sound, design, text, and marketing. The perfect blend of these elements results in an animation video that I proudly share with my network. It effectively communicates the message to the target audience.”

“Creating an animation video can be quite time-consuming. When my children ask, “Daddy, what did you do today?” I often respond, “I spent my day on 17 seconds of an animation.” Their bewildered faces say it all—they can hardly believe it!”

“But those 17 seconds were filled with joy. I created something beautiful and hopefully learned something new in the process. So, how do you make an animation? With plenty of patience!”
