We’ve now all officially gone on summer vacation and we won’t be back until around early of August.

Before we closed shop, we’ve updated our portfolio with four new websites that have gone live. Take a look,  hope you enjoy them.

We’ve got several other projects that we can’t wait to show you once we’re back — until then, we wish everyone a great summer!

Boom! There’s a new version in (gotochina)town, again.

Last Thursday, the biggest annual event for the creative industry in Norway, Visuelt took place in Oslo. The aim of the competition is to promote innovation, bring further professional competence and present the best work done by creative professionals in Norway.

This year, our Gustav was part of the Jury for Interactive Design and also present at the seminars and the award ceremony. After having been present during the seminars with lots of great speakers, the prize ceremony awarded Klipp og Lim with silver for the Visdom-poster and three diplomas, the ‘Work, Joy, Dreams’-Illustration, NCEI in Moving Image, and TSO in Interactive design. Visuelt has a very high quality of submitted works, so we’re really excited about our work getting noticed!

If you want to read more about Visueltdagene, Onion:blogg did a lot of great reporting from the whole arrangement.

Our portfolio has been updated with two new projects that we’ve been working on for a while.

The first one is a book accounting for the activities of the art incubator Foreningen Marienborg Atlierfelleskap from 2005 to 2010. The book features some nifty details in metallic ink throughout, and the text is set in both Norwegian and English. Along with the book we created an artist’s notebook for future ideas.

The second one is the Retrospective Catalogue 2009 for Hordaland Kunstsenter. Over approximately 150 yellow pages we are presented for an account of the art centres activities as well as articles in Norwegian or English about art in theoretical and historical perspective.

The first Norwegian satellite, AISSat-1, will be launched from India on May the 9th. This is a historical moment and we are doing our bit. Klipp og Lim’s contribution is a presentation that explains the purpose of the satellite.

The animated presentation is without audio, and a part of the official promotional material intended for television and web.

The AIS system is primarily a ship collision avoidance system. Today it is based on a range of onshore base stations, each with a range of about 40 nautical miles. The AIS-satellite will expand the AIS coverage area to all maritime zones controlled by Norwegian Authorities

The satellite is equipped with technology developed in a joint effort by the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), Kongsberg Seatex AS, the Norwegian Coastal Administration and the Norwegian Space Centre. The project is funded by the Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Our short film, Visdom, was screened for the first time at Kafe Larsen April the 20th. The film was shot entirely on that very location and several of the regulars were performing as extras. That made Kafe Larsen a natural choice for the premiering venue. Kafe Larsen is closing their taps for good on April 30th, and this was also an opportunity for a last farewell to one of Trondheim’s oldest serving establishments. We were pleased to experience the warm and spirited reception of the film in a crowded house. Thanks to everyone who showed up!

We also updated the Visdom Flick-set with some more charming snapshots from the session.

Look out for Visdom on festivals in Norway or abroad in the near future.

We are proud to present a new addition to our product assortment! The website “Finere Festival” offers different promotional packages aimed at the Norwegian festival market. Most Norwegian festivals are relatively small, and their budgets for promotional material (posters/web-page a.s.o) aren’t often all that.

We hope to amend this by offering a streamlined production process where web and print are created simultaneously with high intensity. This will hopefully result in visually engaging posters and websites for some of the hundreds of festivals that compete for peoples attention during the year.

In the beginning of March we advertised for a skilled 3D designer/animator to share office space with us. We can’t complain about the response as we received a number of CVs and portfolios. Klipp og Lim had a lot of talent to choose from, and in the end it was Vegard Midjo that drew the longest straw.

Vegard is running the company Wingman3D AS and is moving inn with us the first of April. We wish to use this occasion to welcome Vegard Midjo and to say thank you to all applicants.

The poster made by Ole Kristian for our short movie “Visdom” was rewarded with gold at the Sterk Reklame awards yesterday. Visdom is produced by Klipp og Lim and is currently in the final stages of post production. A more or less finalized edition is to be shown in the “Work in Progress” programme at Kosmorama. We also recieved diplomas for Trondheim Symfoniorkester and our Work Joy Dreams-illustration. Congrats to all the other winners!

We’re inviting a skilled 3D designer/animator to work under our roof at Innherredsveien 7. Our offices currently consist of us, Skala Analyse & Rådgiving, Daffy Design, Magnusland, Normann Fiction and Aivu Media.

We’ve got space to let and we would love to have someone with 3D competence amongst us.

Hopefully this is an arrangement with mutual benefits as Klipp og Lim from time to time takes on projects requiring this type of production. We’d like to think that Klipp og Lim is a creative environment where ideas and ambitions can be nourished.

If you’re looking for an office space, have lots of experience working with 3D and would like to work in a creative environment, do not hesitate to contact us for more details. Send an e-mail to mail@klippoglim.no with some information about yourself and a few samples of your work and we’ll get back to you!

The theme is based around the same theme we made for NTNU in an earlier campaign, but updated to sound more ‘gameish’. The tune we initially created for NTNU gradually established itself as the university’s musical identity. The background music is available as a mobile ringtone by sending SKAPENDE to 2097 (1,- NOK). Enjoy!

We made these typographic posters for The Trondheim Junior Soloists, a training orchestra for The Trondheim Soloists who are performing in Oslo, London and Oxford this February.

We recently finished an animation made to promote velgriktig.no, which is to be shown on cinemas across the country. The purpose of the campaign is to recruit more students to mathematics and the natural sciences. The site is developed and run by RENATE, a governmentally initiated centre for promoting increased recruitment to this field.

Campaign material produced by us consists of the above commercial for cinema, a web-based film contest and ads for web and print. The cinema commercial reuses visual elements from an illustration developed by Oxygen and is narrated by Solveig Hareide, known from the popular TV-show Newton, who is also be present in the printed advertisements.

We have just finished the logos for these budding local cultural enterprises. Behind the first logo: “Eit fett liv”, is Vidar Dahl. He is a local scriptwriter/director, and he is currently working alongside our own movie buff Jøran with the completion of the short film Visdom.

The other logo is created on commission for the committee behind the plans for a house of litterature in Trondheim. This is a group of people from the city library, writers and so on. Check out their facebook page here.

Here’s a little background information on the project: The Norwegian Centres of Expertise (NCE) programme is jointly owned and implemented by the three main Norwegian innovation agencies: Innovation Norway, the Research Council of Norway and SIVA.

NCE has appointed twelve strong clusters consisting of world class enterprises in their field. The aim is to further development of the selected clusters to become motors for industry development through cooperation between companies, researchers, colleagues and public authorities.

One of the clusters is NCE Instrumentation in Trøndelag. It consists of companies which supply advanced management and communications solutions to companies in offshore, maritime, fish farming, energy and medicine.

Klipp og Lim was given the task to produce a informational film that promoted the idea of clusters and the work of NCE Instrumentation. There was also made a film targeting students, telling about the rich opportunities for education and work in the region, and there’s also an english version in the making.
