Wouter Bongaerts, aka Wally, is an animationaddict with a passion for lines, colours, movement and art.
Born in 1986 and living in Belgium, he is persuing his dream: working on animated features as an animator.
Wally loves to draw, sketch, experiment, write, read, talk and laugh.
He just finished the final year of his animation studies, at the Media & Design Academy in Genk, ”with distinction”. He worked on his 3D animated short called ”Mouse for sale” for over a year. It has won the ZebraCinema prize 2010, the Canvas prize for best animated short of Belgium of 2010, the ”prix du court métrage 3-6 ans” at the International Film Festival Ciné-Jeune and the VAF Wildcard Animation 2010 Belgium. ”Mouse for sale” won’t be online because the film is traveling the film festivals, but you can always ask Wouter for a copy of the DVD of the film.
At the moment, Wouter is working on several projects: animated pieces for the tv program ”Groenland” on één, tv commercials, illustration work, … But most of all he is working on his new short that he is making with the VAF Wildcard he has won. This film will be done the 31th of december 2012. Feel free to mail if you would like to get in touch:
