Supermix Character and Films

STRIPE recently finished work on two films for the Norwegian candy manufacturer Brynild and their product Supermix. This was done i collaboration with the Oslo based agency Bare Reklame.

The work started out with a long development process around story and character development. This resulted in the idea of a parody on the X-factor /Idol reality TV show genera. The character would perform a song in a “Sour” way (SUR) and a Original way witch would relate to the Supermix candy products.

We didn’t have a brief from the client on the Character design, so we pretty much started out with a clean slate. We considered and tried out most kinds of characters in the process. Everything from humans and superheroes to animals and aliens. Finally we ended up on a design that for us was pretty undefined. The idea was to not relate the “being” to any specific known form, but to get an original character that people related to the product.

Nils and Mehmet is getting comfortable at Stripe

Stripe has since August two  new full time super talanted artists in the 3D department.

Nils Arne Brekke has more than 15 years of experience in CGI. Fresh back from Vancouver film school with some new cool tricks up his sleeve, he’s the versatile senior that Stripe needs, and he always has a new angle on the day to day challenges we face.

Mehmet Özdemir is the young gun from Sweden who has more talent than any junior we’ve seen in a long time! Throw him a challenge and you’ll always get a positive suprise when he delivers!

Although a bit late, welcome to the family guys!

Stereoscopic 3D Film Wallmans 2010

In July 2010, Stripe in collaboration with Ultimax 3D made a Stereoscopic live action film for the entertainment restaurant Wallmans Sallonger in Oslo. The film had it’s premiere in the show stat started on the 2nd of September 2010 at Wallmans.

This was a great experience for everyone involved. The equipment used was a stereoscopic mirror rig from Ultimax on which we fitted two Panasonic AJ-HPX3000.

Stereograph Morten Skallerud, who’s the most experienced DOP with stereoscopic filming in Norway was a key player to make this production come out as well as it did. Many thanks!

Other people involved in the filming was John Einar Hagen -Producer, Jannicke Mikkelsen – B Photo / Inspillingsleder / Script (Couldn’t have done it without you!), Sigmund Rønning – Sound and Light, Henrik Domanski – Kameraassistent, Svein Håkon Henriksen – Produksjonsassistent.

Scriptwriter, Director and showmanager for Wallmans was Tore Sergei Myklebust (The most innovative guy in Norwegian showbiz!)

Producer and Project manager for Stripe was Martin Klint, Atle Berg – Postproducer / TD, Geirr Johnsen – Postproducer.

Here’s a short behind the scenes film from the day of filming at Wallmans. We will post the finished film in anaglyph at  later date.

Take a night out at Wallmans sallonger this fall and enjoy the fantastic new all evening dinner show!
