Noteboek (English title: Notebook) consists of 4 short experimental films where I try to confuse the reality.
In these films, illusions and expectations are challenged.
I used several animation techniques to make this film like stop-motion and rothoscopy.
Noteboek is a short film and part of my graduation project (2008).

The Narrator’s Text:
THIS STORY IS IMPORTANT
PAY ATTENTION WHILST I SHOW YOU
YOUNG HEARTS IN LOVE
YOUNG HEARTS IN PAIN
THIS IS THE STORY OF TAKAKO AND NAOKI
I HAVE BEGUN AT THE END
NOW IS HAPPINESS
IT WAS NOT ALWAYS SO….
TAKAO WAS CHILD TO EISHIRO
NOBLE OF RANK
IN SPIRIT FULL OF NAILS
TAKAKO TO HIM WAS COIN IN THE COFFER
SUITORS CAME LIKE WASPS TO AN APPLE
POWER. MONEY. AND THE STRONG SWORD ARM.
BUT TAKAKO’s HEART WAS A BUD IN WINTER.
NAOKI WORKED IN TAKAKO’s GARDEN
SENT HER A KEY TO HIS HEART AND HOME.
WELL, HE COULD DREAM.
TAKAKO’s MAID WAS OLD AND UGLY
SHE WATCHED TAKAKO LIKE A BEETLE
THE BOY NAOKI COULD NOT FORGET THE GIRL.
OH IF HIS HEART COULD FLY TO HERS
TAKAKO WAS CLEVER
NOW CRACK OF THUNDER WOULD NOT WAKE THE MAID
TAKAKO RAN
LOVE MET LOVE, DELICIOUS AND DANGEROUS
FOR TAKAKO IS SOON TO MARRY
SAMURAI WARRIOR, RICH WITH PLUNDER
EISHIRO HAS AN IRON HEART
TAKAKO DREAMS OF THE TIME THAT MAY COME…..
…..SO TAKAKO LIVES FOR THE MOMENT ONLY
BUT TAKAKO’s SECRET WAS SECRET NO LONGER
EISHIRO BANISHED NAOKI
EXECUTION AWAITED HIS RETURN
COMES THE DAY OF TAKAKO’s WEDDING
THRUST BEFORE THE SAMURAI SHE MUST MARRY
NAOKI TOOK TAKAKO, QUICK AS RAIN
THE VENGEFUL SAMURAI CHEATED OF HIS BRIDE
THE ISLAND HID THEM FROM ALL EYES
YEAR CREAPT ON YEAR
IN THE QUIET OF THEIR LIFE TOGETHER
IN THEIR HOUSE AMONG THEIR FLOWERS
TAKAKO AND NAOKI
IT HAD A HAPPY ENDING AFTER ALL
SO LIFT YOUR HANDS
AND THANK THESE LOVERS FOR THEIR STORY
IT IS AN OLD ONE,
AS OLD, ALMOST, AS I AM.
——————————-
The story about Takako and Naoki seems to be inspired and/or taken from an ancient/medieval chinese tale: The Legend Of Blue Willow. Follow this link for more informations:
http://www.seniors2.com/cookbook/bluewillow.htm
As you may have noticed, near the end of the movie (at 10:14) you can see a blue willow, what is a reference to the aforementioned tale.
The link above tells a story very similar to that one of Takako and Naoki.

9 is also an upcoming computer animated feature film adapted from the short film, is produced in part by Tim Burton, Timur Bekmambetov, and Jim Lemley and is scheduled for release on September 9, 2009. The film will be released by Focus Features.
To see the trailer for the film click:
The short film took four and a half years, on and off, to create. Acker used Maya 1.55.5, Photoshop for the textures, After Effects for compositing, and Premiere for editing.
Summary;
9 is a sentient rag doll who appears to be the last of his kind, living in the ruins of a decaying parallel world, and is hunted relentlessly by a twisted mechanical beast that has killed eight of his rag doll kindred by stealing their souls with a canister-like talisman. 9 was formerly accompanied by his friend and mentor, the one-eyed 5, with whom he scavenged the ruins of their world in search of tools that would help them survive. However, the monster attacked 5 and stole his soul with its talisman, though 9 narrowly escaped with a similar, glowing talisman given to him by 5.
In an attempt to destroy the monster, 9 prepares a trap and lures it into an old building where it is briefly subdued, allowing 9 to steal its talisman. The monster breaks free and chases 9 through the building, cornering him on a wooden plank elevated high above the floor. Just as the monster crawls along the unstable plank and approaches him, 9 leaps to safety and knocks the plank down. The monster plummets to the floor below, impaled and killed by the falling plank. After setting up a memorial for his kindred, 9 puts the two talismans together to create a larger canister that releases the souls of all the monster’s victims, including 5. Before vanishing, 5’s spirit turns to 9 and gives him an approving nod. 9 sets off to parts unknown, leaving the canister behind.
