The days before Christmas "Serious Request" raises money for the Red Cross. Huge amounts of Dutch people collect money and contribute in all sorts of ways. We made an animation with the help of people doing their Christmas shopping during "Winkel in Concert" in Lichtenvoorde. Lots of people contributed by paying to get their drawing in this video. For every drawing €1,- was paid by the contributor, €1,- was added by Schoppensnieder Multimedia and another euro was added by me.
This video is the results of many hours of work by many, many people.

//WHY THIS VIDEO?
The reason this video was made is because of the annual "Serious Request" event organised by 3FM a large national radio station in the Netherlands. Each year, they pick a cause to raise money for. This year they focus on providing much needed hygiene to people in need and to prevent deaths related to diarrhea under the slogan: "Let's clean this shit up!". More info can be found on 3fm.nl or on the specific page for my charity project resulting in this video. If you want to help the cause and support my project you can do so on this page (Dutch):

- Schoppensnieder Multimedia for sponsoring every drawing
- Winkel In Concert for letting us promote our action
- My family and girlfriend for supporting me and keeping this idea manageable.
