Beast creates leader 'Man Bijt Hond'!

Thanks to the nice co-operation with Jan Eelen on the voice recording of the Flemish version of 'A Town Called Panic', Beast Animation got the opportunity to do a proposal for the next season's 'Man Bijt Hond' leader for Woestijnvis. And they liked it! So we created several walk and run cycles of the 'Man Bijt Hond'-dog and we will be shooting the stopframe animated leader on different locations in Flanders. Shooting will take several weeks, the leader will be on air in september 2009. In the meantime, enjoy these making-of pictures!
