Together with Lucca Hopstaken, I created content for the YouTube channel KeesJan, where we explored the use of virtual characters and real-time animation.

We built a custom pipeline in Unreal Engine, using Apple’s Live Link Face app for facial capture to bring our character Kees Jan to life. My focus was on the technical setup – calibrating the Live Link Face connection, refining the animation workflow, and making sure the digital character’s expressions felt natural and responsive in real-time.

This project taught me how to merge storytelling and technology, while giving me hands-on experience with industry tools like Unreal Engine and Live Link Face for virtual production.
