Brandweerman Rens redt Pompom

(see below for English synopsis)

Nederlands: Het verhaal begint in de brandweerkazerne als de brandweer uitrukt naar een brand. Een vrouw komt in paniek vertellen dat Pompom gered moet worden. Pompom zit opgesloten in het huis. Rens aarzelt geen moment en met gevaar voor eigen leven redt hij Pompom uit het brandend huis. Brandweerman Rens is the held en zijn daden zijn voorpaginanieuws!

English: The story starts with a fire alarm in the fire station and a fire engine response. A woman tells the fire chief that Pompom is trapped in the burning house. Fire fighter Rens rescues Pompom from the burning house. Rens is a herow and his action is front page news.

Background: This is an animated video I made for my son Rens. For his birth day he got the Lego Fire station. Before that he saw many Lego stop motion movies on Youtube and he would like to have his own Lego movie. His 'friend' pompom also had to play in the animation.

I decided not to make a traditional stop motion movie but something different. I created this video using Photoshop and Anime Studio Pro. I took photos of Rens and the Lego stuff using my Nikon D50 DSLR and used Photoshop to cut out the pictures parts. Using Anime Studio Pro I created the animation in cut-out-animation style. Fire effects and flash light are also added using this animation software package.

The live video of Delfgauw is shot with my Nokia N96 mobile phone.

sorry chap, but this not what fireman do. they wontbarge in a building on fire without protective gear (fireman suit gas mask water hose and another person with them having the obstruction gear. this makes a fire pair.) and they crouch. cuz when they start to stand, that skoke what is by now 400*C would burn you to death. and those trampolines are not a good way of saving someone. where i live id use the ladders.
