Storyboard artist, conceptual illustrator and comic artist.
Show profile Hide profileSince childhood Roelof has had a keen interest in films and the creativity behind them. At Film School he wrote, directed (with help from Gerhard Uys and fellow students) and animated the TUKS "Buddy-Ad" in 1992, using rotoscoping to optically combine the 35mm footage with 2D cell animation.
Starting out as production assistant on Franz Marx Production's "Egoli: Place of Gold" Roelof soon also broke into the field of puppetry, illustration, concept design, set-, and props-manufacturing. One of his puppet creations, Mponi from "Pula's Travels" (Gumba Guumba Productions 1997/1998 SABC1) was a much-loved character for which Roelof also provided the voice. Roelof was also puppeteer on "Yo-TV: Catch a Wake-up" (Urban Brew 1997/1998) among other TV shows.
Roelof has illustrated storyboards for various film and TV productions and has worked with art directors Naobi Noisette and Pieter Britz among others. Some of South Africa's top interior designers, including Nthabi Taukobong and Stephen Falcke have commissioned perspective drawings from Roelof. Projects range from Corporate (Grand West Casino and Hotel, Royal Marang Hotel- Bafokeng) to Residential (Tito Mboweni's residence).
As a graphic artist Roelof has produced many designs for use with sandblasting. Recently Roelof has been designing logos and posters for advertising purposes to great satisfaction of his customers.
Roelof has also managed projects and sales for a decorative sandblasting company for over 8 years.
