Choosing animation as his field of expertise, Kaayk specialised in blending computer generated images with live-action video to present his ideas. His first two films are combined with the informative character of a documentary. Kaayk’s distinctive technique and style has been appointed as a new kind of emerging genre.
“Animation films are often a showcase used by the director to demonstrate the skills they have acquired. I use the techniques to tell a story, it’s a tool.” – Floris Kaayk –
