Martin Skarbø and Fredrik Fottland is back at the studio after a couple of months away at Qvisten animation for work on the upcoming animated feature “Pelle Politibil” www.pellepolitibil.no

Martin Skarbø
Martin Skarbø has been in charge of making all the water and particle effects for the feature, which has made him the absolute best Realflow expert in Norway. We hope to make good use of that expertise as much as possible now that hes back. Thirsty anyone? Give us a ring if you need fluids!
Fredrik Fottland has been in charge of shading and pre-render setup on the feature, a skill that he started out developing on his last feature film Elias in 2007. We are very happy to have him back under our roof again to secure the workflow in these areas.
That makes our 3D department complete again with Martin Klint on animation and rigging, Fredrik Fottland on modeling, shading and rendering, and Martin Skarbø on fluids and particles. Of course these are just our individual specialties, were usually all over the place intertwining each others skill sets.
Great to have them back,

We just finished up work on a fully animated Pilot for the famous environment agent Inky (Blekkulf in Norwegian).
This was collaborative job with Qvisten animation for Nordisk Film, where Qvisten did concept, modeling, rigging and animation, and Stripe did texturing, shading, lighting, rendering and composite.
The main purpose with the pilot was to introduce the general look and feel for the upcoming series and possibly feature film about our hero Inky and his friends. The Pilot and before that a teaser trailer was shown for the firs time at internationally acclaimed Cartoon Forum which took place in the Norwegian city of Stavanger in September this year.
The underwater world of Inky and his friends.

The complex task of making underwater world’s was by far the most demanding task of the production. We tried to make the environment as organic and alive as possible. With the use of animated ocean surfaces, caustics, godrays, bubbles and animated vegetation we made sure that the every frame had the look and feel of underwater.
The pilot was a great success, and Nordisk film who was the client was very pleased with the result.
Stripe would like to thank the team at Qvisten and all the freelancers that worked on this very intense production.
Have a look at the Inky Pilot on the front of the Stripe site.

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
The finished film can be seen on our main web page; www.stripe.no
