I just finished off 2 x TV-commercials for the Norwegian sports-chain, MX Sport. Simple, straight to the point, motion graphics driven product presentations. The look and feel is based on 4 x TVCs I worked on last year. The post-production was done in co-operation with the agency,
Bente Sognstad from Oktan Bergen, and director Gunnar Vikene from Kong Film.

Last years campaign had 1 x 35 sec "feelgood" profile-film and 3 x 15 sec product-films.

The online session for last years campaign included several sky-replacements, miscellaneous fixes and the motion graphics for the product pack-shots.

A couple of months ago I had the pleasure to work with the production company Tangrystan and one of their talented directors, Trond Fausa Aurvåg.
Together with the creative team from the agency Kitchen we did the online for 3 x cheese commercials for the Norwegian dairy company
Synnøve Finden. We made sure that the product looked it's best and that the message to the viewers was delivered loud and clear.

Apart from directing, Trond Fausa Aurvå is an accomplished actor, one of my favorites in fact. A man of many talents!

Together with fellow artist Marit Larsen, Marion Ravn was part of the former pop-duo M2M, who were very popular and sold approx. 12 million records between 1999 - 2002. When M2M broke up, the record label (Atlantic) wanted to launch Marion Ravn as a solo artist. Ravn has released several solo albums, and sang a duet with Meat Loaf on the album Bat Out of Hell III (2006).

The last five years Ravn has been featured as a judge / mentor on the Norwegian TV-shows "Idol" and "X-Factor", and been writing new solo-material.

She is making her comeback in 2012 with a new album. The first single from the yet to be released album is "Colors Turn To Grey".

In flashbacks he dreams back to when he was growing up with his childhood friends, in an age where everything was perfect.

Exactly one year ago I graded 4 x music videos that acted as the opening sequences for the Norwegian Eurovision Song Contest 2011.
These music videos featured beautiful cinematography by DOP Håvar Karlsen, featuring massive Norwegian landscapes and it's local population.

The Norwegian Eurovision TV-shows are produced by Dinamo Eyeworks for NRK.

This year Karlsen teamed up with director Magnus Rye and brought out the big guns!

Director Erik Richter Strand takes us to the dark side of the Norwegian city of Bergen.
Human trafficking, exploitation of young girls and secret societies of high ranking business men are all ingredients in this dynamic story.

Private eye, Varg Veum, is confronted with solving a murder of an unfortunate soul, and in turn gets in to some serious trouble.
The story has a strong link to Bergen, revealing a lot of the special traditions that this west-coast town has.

I love working on short films. The narrative has to be extremely compact, so you have to get straight to the point.
"The Wall" is set in a kind of post-apocalyptic world where food and resources are hard to come by.

The lead character is portraided by Kristian Smedhaugen. He is fighting for survival in the deserted ruins of what used to be a city.

Once again I had the pleasure to work with director Vibeke Heide on one of her music videos. This time it's for the band Maribel.
Maribel's style is often characterized as atmospheric dream-pop.

I immediately loved the dark-pulse of the song "Jezibel Jive", which is the first single from Maribel's 2nd LP "Reveries" Due out in 2012 on Splendour.
Director Heide and DOP Janne Lindgren managed to create a small, yet interesting universe that suits the music well. I like the organic, none "flashiness" of the actors performance and the somewhat creepy location. A simple but very artistic approach.
