The Storytellers

Laura van Laere

Hello! My name is Laura, and together with Lauren I created this 3D model of Pardoes and the edition in Voyager. I am twenty-two years old, Dutch, and currently studying Media Studies: Digital Cultures at Maastricht University. I like to listen to music, go out with my friends and read books. Working on this model and edition has been one of my favorite experiences in four years of university. The creativity and practical aspects of this project were really fun, as well as working with Lauren. Additionally, working with this specific toy brought back a lot of childhood memories and nostalgia, as I have grown up with Pardoes, and that made this project even more special.

Hi, my name is Lauren, I am 22 years old, and Dutch. I am doing the Master's Media Studies: Digital Cultures. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music and dancing. I made this edition together with Laura, and it was an amazing experience. My previous study was more creative and practical than the master's, so it was a nice experience to learn 3D modeling and to be able to work more hands-on again. This edition was somewhat personal, seeing that I grew up with Pardoes. I also learned a lot of new skills in the process. It was great working with Laura, we got along really well. Coming from different backgrounds helped us see that we could assist and learn from one another, making the project even more fun.
