We are proud to announce that our designer Siri Selnæs has been chosen to be one of the four team leaders for the “24H Inclusive design Challenge in Inclusive Design”.
This third Challenge takes place in Oslo, 7-8 June as part of the “European Business Workshops in Inclusive Design 2012”. This two-day event is a method-based interactive workshop. You will learn from world class experts, experience new design thinking and be part of a professional crowd for networking and knowledge sharing.
We have for some time been searching for a new CEO. Now the search is over and we have signed Nis Kehler on the team.
Nis leaves the online store CDON.COM where he was Country Manager for Denmark. Previously he has been employed in Danish and Swedish production companies where he has worked with management, contact management and marketing.
We’re now going on summer vacation and
won’t be back until the start of August.
Before we go however, we’d like to leave you with a trailer for our upcoming short UTUR (“bad luck”). The film will be released fall 2011, and will due to the occurring events be one of the shortest snowboard film ever made. Everything was planned in detail for the most spectacular snowboard stunt ever performed in Norway. But something went terribly wrong…
The Norwegian Short Film Festival has started and Erkjenning/Recognition is to be shown Saturday and Sunday. The directors of the movie, Klipp og Lim’s Jøran Wærdahl and Vidar Dahl are attending the festival.
The film has previously been shown at Minimalen Kortfilmfestival and Kosmorama, and the creators behind the movie states state in today’s edition of Adresseavisa that an English language version is considered as a English spoken film is more likely to be accepted at festivals abroad.
It’s been a while since we’ve update the site, mainly because we’ve been incredibly busy! So we thought we’d share some of the most recent things that’s been going on around here:
New short film in production
Monday the 9th of May was a grand day out in the wilderness shooting the movie Utur. It is our first snowboard movie ever, and will probably be one of the shortest in the history. Breathtaking scenery in Tydal and spectacular stunts never before performed is the backdrop, but during the shooting something goes terribly wrong. The movie is financed by Midtnorsk Filmsenter, and stars Linn Haug and Stian Hovland Eriksen. Sport Extreme supported us with the right wear and contributed in front of the camera.
New website for Resman
We’ve made a brand new website for Resman, including clickable banners that contain video that shows what Resman does and how they do it. We made this site together with Værsågod.
We’re really excited that our short film Erkjenning recently got distribution from NFI (The Norwegian Film Institute). NFI chooses the best films produced in Norway every year for foreign distribution. In april the film was screened at the Kosmorama International Filmfestival, and will participate in the competition at the Norwegian Short Film Festival in June.
Technoport Awards
Once a year there’s an award show in Trondheim called Technoport, celebrating the most innovative and ground breaking technology of last year. We were hired to make the opening film and the presentations of the nominees. We thought that Technoport sounded like a name for a city, one thing led to another and before you know it, our CEO is standing with faint smile in his face, building a miniature city from cardboard. The main character in the opening film is ‘the spark of innovation’, flying around and illuminating the existence of the inhabitants of Technoport. Yes it’s quite pretentious, especially with the symphonic score by Sander in addition, but its’ also a bit funny. The production included ping pong balls and a hair dryer, home made camera dolly with skateboard wheels, and long discussions about the pros and cons of using green screen. Note that the film is also produced in a square format because of how it had to be displayed at the ceremony. Enjoy!
January went by in a flash, here’s one of the things that has kept us too busy to blog: Enovas “A little less. Every day” campaign. We were commissioned by Scanpartner to make the illustrations and films for the campaign back in 2006, but the crisis never got bad enough and has been buried in the vault until now. The campaign encourages people to spend a little less electricity every day, so we can avoid an energy crisis. And monumental electricity bills.
The campaign ran in all the major newspapers and norwegian tv-channels, in addition to a dedicated website and bannerads.
Årets julegave går til Hold Lyset Tent-kampanjen, som vi har vært med å lage for Kirkens Bymisjon. Donasjonene går til mennesker i byen vår som trenger hjelp og støtte i juletida. Lyset som skal holdes tent er en stor kube som står i parken utenfor Vår Frue kirke, og det er gaver til Bymisjonen som får den til å lyse.
Send LYS til 2470 og så gir du 50 kroner. Eller gå inn på www.holdlysettent.no og gi med kredittkort. Her kan du også se kuben live når den lyser opp. Vi oppfordrer alle våre kunder og samarbeidspartnere til å hjelpe oss å holde lyset tent gjennom hele jula!
Vi takker for året som har gått og gleder oss til det neste! Julefreden senker seg over våre lokaler fra torsdag 23. desember til mandag 3. januar.
After four days of filming out in the freezing cold, we’re proud to present the movie for the Hold lyset tent-campaign.
The film consists of people from all walks of life; celebrities from Trondheim and friends of Kirkens Bymisjon, telling us how little it takes to help those less fortunate and to contribute to help light up the city during the Christmas season.
From December 1st and all through all through December a glowing interactive cube will be present in Tordenskjoldparken by Vår Frue kirke in Trondheim. You can make your contribution by sending an SMS or via the campaign website, and the cube will light up. The cube will also interact with people who are nearby with sound and by changing it’s glow. The campaign website will feature a live stream of the cube, where you’ll be able to watch it light up whenever it receives a contribution.
