Hey Bluesky, how's it going! I’m Joscha, a storyboard artist from Amsterdam. I specialize in feature animation but have also worked in live-action and TV animation.
I'll be sharing my work here and talk about film and visual storytelling.

Name that Movie! A deck of storyboard panels from @aapstra.bsky.social! Ordered a long time ago but delayed by US regime shenanigans, finally arrived today and it is awesome. Thanks to @patrickhwillems.bsky.social for introducing me to the deck in one of his Q&A videos.

Genius editor Thelma Schoonmaker is 86.
I love her definition of editing:
‘Editing is really like plumbing a good deal of the time. You put two things together, and a current runs through it.’

Back in March I worked with Illogic Studios on the storyboards for an animated Christmas commercial for the French supermarket Intermarché. The film is out now and it is such a joy to see all the great reactions! 🎄

Have been going on something of a Beuville buying streak recently. I absolutely love the work of Georges Beuville but his books can be hard to come by, so I’m really happy that I was able to find all these!

Lions escape in Amsterdam Stripclub: Yesterday the Amsterdam newspaper Het Parool shared this story from 1967. Amsterdam in the 60's was a pretty wild place!

Two huge losses this week—a reminder that it’s time to INNOVATE like never before. Let’s not pander, conform, and deliver the expected. Let’s go off menu. Let’s. Go. #slystone #brianwilson

Felt that my home studio wasn’t nerdy enough yet, so I added this red guy. He’s awesome.

Another 'Name that movie!' quiz question. Fun fact: this movie has been the most common incorrect answer. So I finally had to draw it.

Over on insta I've been having a little filmquiz with my followers for a few years now. Can they guess the movie I drew? I want to bring a little collection of these with me to Annecy in June, and am reworking some of the entries I'm less satisfied with. so can you name these movies...?

Drawing with my 4yo daughter. We’re playing the old game where she does a quick scribble and I have to make it into something. So much fun!
