‘Pik’ in cinemas
After little more than half a year with a great crew and hard work we can proudly inform you that PECKER has its premiere on Saturday July 3. We were over the moon with this news and ran to the fridge (…again) to plop a bottle of champagne. We were even more delighted to hear that PECKER will be shown before one of the most famous animation features of the world. The one with the green ogre. Please check out the website of Pathé, the film will be featured in all Pathé cinemas.
‘Pik’ finalization
Director Erik van Schaaik and animation producer Jiek Weishut went today to Nedcipro in Leiderdorp to see the newest production called PECKER for the first time on a big screen. Nedcipro is finalizing the film so that cinema chain Pathé will feature the film in 70 cinemas in The Netherlands. The film looks great and sounds beautiful!! Of course we hope you like it too. Keep you posted on where it will be screened and this will also be posted on the PECKER website.
Trademark
It took some time but we are happy to announce that The Drawing Room is now a registered trademark. You will probably see a ® sign with the logo designed by Rikkert Nusselder or maybe not. For us it was another reason to pop the champagne.
‘Pik’ website online
Early this morning while everyone was still asleep the new website went online of the ultra short film PECKER (PIK for the Dutchies). Director, writer and animator Erik van Schaaik worked the past months into the wee hours to make this gem happening. Together with producer: Jiek Weishut, animator: Patrick Raats, composer: Martin Fondse, clarinets / kalimba: Claudio Puntin, music recording and mix: Chris Weeda, foley and surround mix: Tape TV (Arno Peeters), lighting: Jelle Mulder, clean-up by our favorite intern: Peter Puntman and effect riggs: Adrian Walton Smith (Viz). We still need to do some colourgrading but we are almost there. Of course we will keep you posted where the film will be screened but check out this website made by Anita van Dalen.
