About


Home of Creation was founded by me. My name is Willard Jansen.

Directing / editing / color grading

I am a TV director with nearly 30 years of experience in making TV shows for Dutch National Television, full time. My work was both in the studio and on location. Many of the work I did was pretty challenging and sometimes dangerous. I had been a cameraman before I became a director and often times I combined the two and later I also started editing, color grading and designing motion graphics. It’s just the way I am. To much energy and I like you be able to do many things at a professional level. That proved to be very helpful when shooting features in conflict areas like Bosnia, Rwanda, Burundi and Gaza. Also for Corporate Video.

Composing

I am also a composer of Orchestra, electronic and hybrid music. I never lack inspiration. I just set myself a goal, turn it into an assignment, negotiate a deadline and go to work. I Have been composing for years, but only for segments of TV shows that I directed. I started music in early life,  at the age of ten. First flute but after two years, the conductor of the orchestra I played in persuaded me to switch to the Oboe. And so I did, and never regretted it. My parents let me take Lessons from Wim Ket, the principal Oboist of ” het Gelders Orkest” one of the Symphony Orchestras in the Netherlands. I progressed well and after a few years I was able to play solo concerts with accompaniment. Wim also taught me how to make Oboe reeds, and him being a student of Jaap and Haakon Stotijn, he introduced me to the Dutch School of reed making.

Software development

More recently I started working as a software developer, for a branch of the Dutch Government, and now I am holding the title Senior Software Developer. During the last stage of my study Physiological Psychology at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, I had to write software for the experiments I conducted, so I took classes at the faculty of computer science. Software Development has always been a side kick and proved to be useful in many endeavors I pursued.

Let art be your antidote.
