The Amanda show is Norways answer to The Oscars and this year Dinamo Story chose us to create the opening sequence. The idea was pretty simple – take some of the best known Norwegian films premiering the last year and implement the two hosts of the show, Dennis Storøy and Sven Nordin, into key scenes.
We also did a short title sequence consisting of the amanda statue and some cardboard figures of former hosts.
Light setup
Lineup
The two hosts were shot entirely on green-screen for implementing in plates from the movies. We had to make sure the lighting were as close to the original lighting in each scene.

In between takes there’s always time to goof around.
Recently DNB-Nors new TVcampaing started running here in Norway. The 20-something films features Norwegian top athletes, sponsored by DNB-Nor, in different situations where they do bank transactions using only their mobile phones.
We did work on one of the commercials, with the snowboarder Helene, and supervised the hellicopter shots on one of the other films.
Short break before another take
Most of the work consisted of removing ugly marks on the walls and inserting content on the different lcd screens and posters.
Faking windows
The most complex shot in the film was the establishing shot where we can se the whole airport outside of the windows. 3D models combined with a matte painting did the trick.
Agency was DDB, the production was by Einar Film and director was Morten Tyldum.
When Baal aproached us about doing a digital crash test dummy for their next Viking shoe-campaign we lept at the task. We did 4 3D-renders which Baal then implemented in photos. The ads has been run in the magazines “Fri Flyt“, “Jakt & Fiske” and “Fjell & Vidde“.

Recently Tine released it’s Sunniva fruit juices with new packaging. The agency responsible, Spilberg, hired Qvisten and director Rasmus Sivertsen to produce the tv-commercial which were shot in a studio here in Oslo.
The fruit-animators hard at work making the fruit run along an edge using monofilament fish line.
The film relies as much as possible on practical elements like apples on sticks and fish-line, but Stripe was hired to do all of the compositing and 3D computer graphics as well as paint removal of said wires.
Making the apples shine, literally, using glycerine

Last September Martin left us for the far east and surfing the waves of the Australian beaches… well not entirely. Although he was living near Bondi beach and had plenty of opportunities to surf and kite he’s been busy working for Z-Space, amongst others, most of the time.
We’re very happy to have him back and can’t wait to put his new learned skills to good use!
On the 28th of March the first Earth Hour were arranged here in Norway. We were so lucky as to be asked to contribute on a TV-commercial together with DDB, Einar Film and The Chimney Pot amongst others.
From the first production meeting we did a rough 3D mockup where we locked the camera angle and position based on what we had agreed upon.

Poor Tommy had to stuff himself with bananas the whole day. We went through 50 bananas during the shoot and they had to go to the store no less than three times to get enough. Tommy ate between 15 and 20 bananas, but didn't complain once! I guess he's not too fond of them any more...
The finished video was a massive hit on YouTube and ranked the number 15 most seen video for a while. Odd enough it was the most seen video in Mexico after a few days.
