Tampie



Ojajoh!
This is one of my most favourite tv shows for kids. It's called 'Ojajoh' ('Ohrealy' is the best translation I guess) and a big inspiration for my own work. For my current project this character is a inspiration for Lilly. I'll try to explain the show since there isn't any film material on the internet.

The pictures show the main character (a guy covered in tattoos wearing girls clothes and speaking in a high voice). Her name is Tampie and she is addicted to lollipops. In her short show she interviews famous people in Holland about death, money, love and other subjects. This whole interview goes in turbospeed and is extremely hyperactive but maybe that's because she eats 20 lollipops during an interview. The montage fast with many small repeating cuts and almost like a music video. The character of the girl is cheeky. She uses a lot of English words because the youth in Holland likes English words, it's part of the street language. Famous quotes:
-moe je een likkie? (you wanna lick?)
-ma me toch nie uit. (I don't care)
-stelletje uglies. (bunch o'uglies)
-ojajoh? (ohrealy?)

There is an other show though where this character also appeared. That show is called 'Mag dat?' ('Is that allowed?') It tells the viewer what is appropiate to do in certain situations although it's not meant to be taken seriously.
Subtitles
Dad: [sings a ridiculous old fashioned song]
Dad: gheesh mother, you've cooked a nice dinner once again. It wasn't useless being those six days in the kitchen.
Mom: thank you father. I'm happy you like it. And you....?
Ricky: I like it mother.
Dad: Here guys, a nice piece of sausage.
Tampie: [moans]
Voice over: Is that allowed?
Rembo&Rembo: I don't know much but I'm certain this is allowed. So!
Voice over: Yes that is allowed. It is maybe a bit rude but you have to release air in your tummy otherwise you will get stomach ache.

Other episodes: dog shit, fight, toilet, monopoly, candy.

Moving storyboard

This is an old first storyboard of an episode that didn't make the series. I've recorded some sound. It's cheap and low quality but it tells the story a lot better. In case you're wondering, I did all the voices but I tweaked them so they don't sound like me real voice......I hope -_-'
