Game Music

NTNU’s new online game, “Kampen om framtiden”, has lately recieved a lot of attention. The game is developed by Terravision and NTNU, and we’ve produced the music.

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!

The Trondheim Junior Soloists

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.

Velg Riktig Campaign

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.

New Logos

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.

NCE Instrumentation

Klipp og Lim has recently finished the production of an ambitious film for NCE Instrumentation.

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.

Old School

In 2010 NTNU is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the foundation of NTH, the Norwegian Institute of Technology, one of NTNU’s predecessors, along with 100 years of the Student Union and NTNUI, Norway’s largest athletic association. It so happens that 2010 also marks the 250th anniversary of the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters.

Klipp og Lim was commissioned to develop visual profile elements for this occasion. We made a series of illustrations and decorative elements that would give the promotional material relating to the anniversary recognizable features. The common denominator for this output was the emphasis on lines connecting entities suggesting historical continuity and relations between institutions, exemplified in the illustration above.

Medusa the Jellyfish

Maneten Medusa (Medusa the Jellyfish) is the first book in a series, authored by Margrethe Geelmuyden and published by Aschehoug, due to hit the bookshelves in April 2010. In this first book Medusa sets out to find a mirror so she can check up on her looks before going to a ball. Things don’t go as planned and she finds herself stuck to a sea urchin. In a distance an old crab is approaching. The books will be illustrated by us in brilliant, flat colors!

Christmas Greetings!

This has been a productive and stimulating year for Klipp og Lim. We have gained the trust of new patrons, acquired new talented people and moved to Innherredsveien 7.

We’re really looking forward to embark on 2010! February we tear down a wall and expand our office space, and make more room for our production team. We’ll also rent out space and four resourceful people will be located at our address.

2010 also marks our 10th anniversary. We take pride in the fact that we have achieved to build a company that has sustained the test of time. Indeed a cause for celebration.

We’ll be back January the 4th — until then, Merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone!

Regnmakerne: Passing on the Stick

Our long time involvement in Regnmakerne is at an end. Regnmakerne (The Rainmakers) is a national concept for children initiated and funded by Enova SF. The goal is to involve and create interest and engagement for the energy subject among children and youngsters.

Klipp og Lim has for several years been a subcontractor for Scanpartner on this project. Initially our animator and illustrator Lars was commissioned to illustrate the three books about Regnmakerne by Klaus Hagerup. The characters he developed have since been an integral part of the rainmaker universe and have been featured on TV, web, printed matter and giveaways. Scanpartner has decided to serve the Enova account in-house.

As our involvement with Regnmakerne expired, Håvard chose to pursue a professional actor career and entered a three year course at Teaterproduksjon og skuespillerfag in Verdal. We wish him good luck in his future endeavors! We’d also like to thank Scanpartner for the collaboration and extend our greetings to Enova.

We’ll leave you with one of the spots we created where Ruben gives us tips on how to save energy at home.

Visdom Trailer

We recently finished a trailer and a movie poster for our upcoming short film; Visdom.

We’ve also started the editing of the film. The shooting took place in October — during two very long nights, we manage to turn Larsen cafe into a a daylight scene. The cafe holds a meeting between two old friends on different tracks in life. They both carry a heavy burden from the past which up to now has been kept under lid.

A sudden meeting with the dentist stir up suppressed memories. The film is directed by Vidar Dahl and Jøran Wærdahl and financially supported by Midtnorsk Filmsenter. Visdom will be launched during spring 2010.
