73 Percent

Animations for a Holocaust documentary

73 Procent is a documentary by Jaap van Eyck that explores why the Netherlands had the highest percentage of Jewish victims in Western Europe. The personal story of journalist Max Arian - who survived the war in hiding - forms the emotional backbone of the film. Since such stories were never captured on camera, illustration played a key role in bringing these memories to life.
 
I was responsible for the visual design: sketching out the storylines, creating the illustrations, and animated key sequences myself. The amazing team at Moldybyrd Studio supported the animation process, helping me to bring the full story to life.
