The Preach

The truth lies in the eye of the beholder.

And most of the time, the eyes speak the truth.




I'm trying to bring the picture alive by using film.


Eventually the eyes/mouths will speak a monologue about beauty and go through different emotions.

Might be something to make interactive in the future, so the public can communicate with the character.





TEST film 1 (unfinished)

TEST The Preach from Marleen Maathuis on Vimeo.

I've been playing around with tracking in After Effects, still some rough edges and things I'd like to fix.

Eventually,both eyes should be changed into mouths.

But for a firt attempt, i'm satisfied!

Self Portraits

'NEVER IS ANYBODY WHO'S UNUSUAL-LOOKING CELEBRATED AS A DEFINITION OF BEAUTY.'

- Isabella Rossellini

First test film of my own face.

Using several layers of my facial features from different angles, collaged into one final shot.


First attempt with Adobe After Effects.

Self Portrait 1 from Marleen Maathuis on Vimeo.

I am in search of a new dimension beauty.

Make people see that imperfections, differences, things that make us unique are the beauty.

My Models

They are the most beautifull women in the world.

Out of depsite for them, I destroyed their beauty.

I combined pieces of their face and made new women.

This is my army with a new kind of beauty.
