From first
thought to
final frame

Pop Soap Motion is my small animation practice in the Netherlands. I make warm, thoughtful animated videos - from research and script to storyboard, animation, sound, music, voiceover direction and final delivery.

Only the Good Cry

A frame-by-frame animation about crying, vulnerability, and the social meaning of tears. Based on psychological research, the piece turns a scientific question into a warm visual story about empathy, honesty, and care.

research / motion graphics:

The Science of Self-Talk

A research-based motion graphics and cut-out animation about the surprisingly useful habit of talking to yourself. The film turns psychology studies into a clear, warm visual story, showing how self-talk can support focus, confidence and emotional regulation - from athletes in training to anyone facing pressure.

research collage / motion graphics:

Small Habits for a Better Headspace

A research-led motion graphics piece about three simple, science-backed ways to support mental well-being: choosing quiet time, caring for your space, and adjusting expectations. The animation uses real research papers, highlighted text, cut-out movement and warm visual pacing to turn scientific ideas into something approachable, useful and easy to remember.

process:

More than just the animation part

01 / find the story:

Research & script

I can help shape the message before anything moves: understand the subject, define the audience, write or refine the script, and decide what the video really needs to say.

02 / make it visible:

Design & animation

Styleframes, storyboards, animatics, illustration, character animation, motion design, transitions and the visual system around the video.

03 / finish the piece:

Sound & delivery

Voiceover direction, music choices, sound design, subtitles, edits, exports and final formats for web, social, presentations or campaigns.

You can bring a finished script, a loose idea, or only the problem you need to explain. I can join for one part of the process, or help carry the whole video from start to finish.

about:

A small practice for clear, warm visual stories

I like animation that feels human: a little tactile, a little strange, clear in what it says, and careful in how it moves.

useful for:
  • animated explainer videos
  • campaign and social videos
  • educational or cultural stories
  • characterful brand motion
  • storyboards and animatics
  • short full-service video production
