WESSEL
Animation | Production
Wessel is a Dutch animator who loves motion. From games to music videos, and Miyazaki’s masterpieces to experimental animation shorts, he likes to consume, play, and create it all.
Wessel’s interest in making video games began in high school, and continued at the Breda University of Applied Sciences, where he specialised in animation under former Disney animator Ralph Palmer. Here he learned to work with Maya, Unreal Engine, Unity, and later Blender as well. He worked as one of thirty on the student game Bone Voyage, and graduated in 2022 with a hand-drawn animated music video.
When he is not animating, Wessel likes to dance, sing, listen to or make music, look at clouds & cats, go longboarding, play Xayah, or do astronomy.

When not rehearsing with bands, writing, composing, or recording, Adeline is reliably honing her craft on a drum practice pad for an LTCL Drum Performance qualification, and considering a Music Master’s Qualification.
DYLAN
Sound design
Dylan is a sound designer and foley engineer for film, animation, and video games for 6 years and counting. He is located in the US, and graduated from the School of Visual Arts in New York with a bachelor’s in film editing.
During his time there, he mingled with many animation students who were looking for someone to do their sound, something he had a lot more fun with over editing video. It is a constant, engaging challenge to come up with bizarre ideas to mimic or create sounds based on the footage at hand. From there, Dylan eagerly seeked out any and all foley opportunities he could, which eventually led him to Monochrome Beauty.

He joined Inspiratio Studio as a graphic designer and has since worked to establish his own graphic design agency; crafting original brand identity design packages for business startups, in addition to rebranding for existing companies.
