If you’ve ever been stranded on the side of the road, then you’ve probably called these guys. Commisioned by Keiretsu we we’re asked for a pitch on a small promo animation. Sadly it never made it out of the garage but it was fun never the less. So, here are some screens of what we we’re cooking in our creative pot.
Back on familiar grounds, this time tag-Teaming with Voutloos back into the harder dance scene. One day you’re doing a corporate 3d viz, the next day you’re creating mad scientist animated X-mens! Ain’t life grand? Well, since it’s online I suppose it’s no longer a secret , so here’s something we can also do for you @ fuelled:
The first part of our collaboration with Voutloos was a piece commissioned by the boys from the label “Scantraxx” in celebration of their 10th anniversary. Which involved us turning a rough sketch by Frank into a 3d model, which would then later be printed in 3D. So, first off, Frank sketched and illustrated several options before moving to the next step which would be turning the 2d illustration into 3d. Besides the fact that a 3d printer can’t print a 2d sketch and needs a 3d file, the client can see what the printed model would look like before it’s actually made. Turning and spinning the 3d model in every direction and seeing it from whatever angle. Saving time and money, seeing how a 3d model on the screen is more easy to edit and adjust than a real life fully 3D printed object.
So, after multiple edits and updates on the 2d illustrations the final image was approved and send to us to be modelled in 3d. This, off course, also included many updates and edits before finally rendering the image as shown at the bottom. Besides the fact they wanted it printed in 3d they loved the 3d model so much they requested several still renders from multiple angles to be used on print as well!
To illustrate what I’ve described above, I’ve included Frank’s sketches and illustration in the image below to show the pipeline in which we worked. From rough pencil sketch to fully animated 3d model. Constantly updating either eachother or the cliënt in order to keep things flowing as smooth as possible.
The follow up of this project would include some 3d work to be used on print and communication for a huge dance event held for this occasion. This event would be organised by the ladds from Q-dance, so they needed some artwork as well. Based on the same X (for ten years off course) theme as the 3d model, Frank from Voutloos designed a centerpiece to be used for the event. Fuelled would then in turn, translate the whole shebang into 3d, wrap this puppy up and knock it straight out of the park!
Note to all: Fuelled provided the 3d still image for this one, no more, no less. We wouldn’t want to go and ruffle the right feathers in the wrong way now would we? Ow, and, no actual puppies were wrapped up and knocked out of any park.
When running a multi-million international design agency, you can’t be walking around with your average day-to-day printed business cards. With a clever caption or picture to hint at your creativeness. Nay, you’ve got to do better then that. Though we’re not quite international yet, or multi-million for that matter, I’ve decided to fit me with a suitable business card none the less. Well prepared and all that I say!
They turned out pretty cool if I do say so myself, so if you want one: let’s do some business!
Aye, Aye cap’tn!
Vacation is over and we’re back in the grind. We’re back in business for those seeking digital awesomeness…
Has left the staton and it’s going faaaaaaaaaaaaaaast. Here at Fuelled we have our work cut out for us with a certain Barendrecht based, Japanese named company.
With 3d animations, product developments, webdesign, random visualisations AND presentations flying all over the place, we can truly strut our stuff. Below are some screenshots as well as some animations to be used on their -still to be designed new- website and presentations and such. And we’re taking the lead with the lot. So there will be plenty to update about…Keep checking back for progress reports on this one.

Looky here now, a brand new branch in this multimedia enterprise striving for world domination. What good is a loyal army if you can’t recognise what side everybody’s on!
So, in order to fix that: here’s some hard merchandise to run around in when spreading the word of Fuelled’s kickass 3d designs to the world.
Inspired by all that is Loud, Low, Fast, and down right greasy. You can’t go anyway but the right way with one of these shirts on your back!
Small keynote; since we’re not.quite.there.yet with finances and what not, and haven’t really found a sweatshop to make these on the cotton the deserve to be on, we’re gonna wing it and use a storefront for now.
BUT! By the great spaghetti monster in the sky I swear, if this takes off, I’m investing in some proper gear….until then, the designs oughtta pull you in.
Let’s see where this all takes us now!
Below some examples of the excellent stuff we’re offering!
You want one already don’t you? Yeah, I can tell….Well, go on now, hit the link then!
No, not an hommage to Las Vegas but a little heads-up to show everyone that we REALLY are very, very busy over here people…
First up is a project I’m working on for a little company called BeCreative. Who, as it so happens, are currently paying most of my salaris. So, in return I’m working on what is the first of a sequence of shorts to stir up some noise about this up and coming studio.
As I said: We’re busy as….well someone that’s really busy. Here’s a side project that’s still kind of going. A commisioned piece by Studio Analoog. Yes sir, the boys from the egg-movie. The landline to Bergen op Zoom is still up and running since we got this second gig off of them. An alcoholic dispensor of some sorts. We’re still tweaking as we speak, so again I’m gonna have to take a rain check on the animations. To keep the masses at piece I’ll be posting some more screenshots..
We’re actually very, very busy…no honestly….
Fuelled recently started a new co-op with Keiretsu. First thing on the agenda: a pitch for DAF. Fuelled stepped in and created a nice 3d calender for the board and claimed his spot at the work floor.
So, especially for the fans, a quick Iphone snapshot I took of the finished A1 postalender.
Ow, and if you, or anyone else for that matter, need some wicked 3d designs of some kind; don’t hesitate to drop a mail @fuelled.nl!!
Yes, yes, thank you, you are all to kind…
No, really, please, this isn’t really nesce…..ok than, applaud me some more if you must.
Allrighty then, The eagle has landed, I say again the goose has been milked. Finally Big ‘Ole Red has been set free in the wild and may now officially be seen, linked to, applauded, talked about and blow your minds.
A slightly pimped up version is now roaming the interwebs complete with pay-off and narrated (dutch)
Scroll down to see what all the fuzz is all about or check www.vroegevogel.nu!
Between the avalanches of work that _just _keep_pouring_in here I found time to do a little illustrative work for a close friend of mine who is, as the iPhone skin shows, a “little” fond of shopping. And, since I was at it anyway I made myself a new one as well…
Fuelled, there’s nothing we can’t do, even make illustrated iPhone skins!
Here’s a little something I found laying around. It’s the Fuelled part of the Pay-off for the Vroege Vogel project. It’s probably not going to be used as is, but it’s still a fun little animation in my opinion!
‘Forward, the light brigade!’ as Lord Tennyson once put it. So forward it is, we’ve got a new project to sink our teeth in here at Fuelled. It’s all still very hush-hush at the moment, but I just couldn’t withhold a little screenshot to show you all.
More to come…!
Well, the black vortex we fell in after Red was finished seems to have a silver lining with some new lines being cast. Already names are dropped, projects thrown around and some coal on the fire to get that steamer going. One might have already fallen through but there are some more nuggets on the table that might turn out to be gold….
Hopefully more to come, if not, then I’ll be posting about my new job as an icecream vendor or something similar soon. So either way: Check back soon!! You can’t miss out on either I’d say…
After a long-haul the dead line has been passed. And that means we’re done. Old Red has been a sweet little project but is now lit, text, modelled and ready to spread it’s little red wings and venture out on the world wide webbernets all by himself. A fine project as a result of a tag-team with Rotterdam based Studio Analoog, with whom we’ll hopefully have more sweet little projects like Old Red… Once cleared by the cliënt a link will be posted here off course, for all to see.
And now; ONWARDS! to greener pastures en grander projects! No Time to Wallow in the Mire, there’s work to be done ya lazy basterds! Aaargh
Man, it is HECTIC over here…Little Red downstairs won’t let up. Behind that cute fluffy cuddly ball of feathers is a true slave driving psycho…But, I have to agree, he does make sure there’s another update to post. So, on that note; here is one of the first shots taken from the story of little big Red. It’s a sorting device which is up and running and at full speed!
After all this still is a blog of our world dominating design agency Fuelled. So every now and than a post about some project, whether finished or in progress, would fit in quite nicely here.
So let’s take our little friend Red for instance. He’s out on the most wild adventures you can imagine and is coming to screens on the interwebs pretty shortly now! So keep an eye out. In the meantime here’s some screens of WIP and if you’re bored and need some cool stuff anyway just visit ‘vroegevogel.nu’ until it’s showtime for little old Red…..
Some of you may think times they are a slow over here, and projects aren’t coming in with freighttrains at a time.
But! That couldn’t be further from the truth (the being slow part). Because today we welcomed our newest member to the crew here at Fuelled. I’m sure in time we’ll come to think of him as we do of all the others here, working hard to bring you the finest money can buy in digital awesomeness, a valued member, nay, dare I say; Family….
Ladies and Gentlemen, you’re projects will never be the same. The dreamteam has filled it’s ranks again and it is my pleasure to introduce to you the new VERY! (or Fluffy or Mittens, depending which one died the other day)
So the weekend and my day off have come and gone…Unfortunately, there was no queu of people at the office wanting a piece of my digital awesomeness when I returned this monday. And to not let this whole site bleed dry after one week, here’s some freaky deaky stuff straight of the screen I’m doing to keep busy until hordes of wild business men bash down the door throwing around huge sums of money and jobs…
Too bad I never learned to do 3d (that’s an inside joke)
Straight off the phone, some ZBrush screenshots:
Allrighty, took an early shot on my T.G.I.F. So to all you people wanting in on my world domination schemes: sorry. Guess you all have to wait ’till monday!
BIRD! well obviously. But anyway. Fuelled has teamed up with Studio Analoog to create some digital awesomeness for the (freely translated) early bird. So, hookup on twitter and/or facebook and keep an eye out for that little red rascal!
After a tag team hookup with Rotterdam based StudioAnaloog we’re gonna have a little chat with some local neighbours to see if we can help eachother out. Small in numbers as they say…
So we’re stocking up on new friends and hopefully some cool new projects.
Fuelled is going in for a tag-team with Rotterdam based StudioAnaloog.
As a first post it’s a bit slim, but hey, at least there is SOME news….
