He has some great stop motion videos and very creative video editing concepts. Besides impressive it's also very funny.

Toyota says sorry



My parents bought a Toyota Auris some time ago and it had to be checked for the gas-pedal problems plaguing several Toyota models. It was a quick procedure, a reinforcing plate was installed to prevent excessive wear.

As an apology for the inconvenience, my parents received a coupon for a free summer check-up and a small box of chocolates. A nice gesture towards the customer in my opinion.]]> http://www.marijnrongen.com/post/135 Third visit to Radio 538 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MarijnRongen/~3/gkW-FDHmCTM/134 http://www.marijnrongen.com/post/134 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 11:52:38 +0100

DJ Rick van Velthuysen at work



These photos were taken during my third visit to the studio of Radio 538, a dutch radio station. This was in October of 2006. Read about my first and second visit.


The host of the show "Midden in de Nacht Rick" just had a newborn daughter, so we went there to congratulate him and have another great night in the studio.


We gave Rick van Velthuysen a couple of plush Disney characters.


The gifts where well-recieved.


The rest of the night it was business as usual.


That didn't stop anyone from posing for a few shots.


Producer Koert Walraven.


Sidekick Erik-Jan Rosendahl.


This door is decorated with the photos and autographs of all the DJs working at the station at the time.]]> http://www.marijnrongen.com/post/134 Second Radio 538 visit http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MarijnRongen/~3/SSo8y6TivlY/133 http://www.marijnrongen.com/post/133 Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:26:57 +0100

The show "Midden in de Nacht Rick" celebrated its one-year anniversary the night we were there (April 13 2006). It was a very popular night show airing from 0:00 to 3:00 AM.
