Showreel 2012

[iframe:src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/47527507" width="750" height="422" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe] My latest showreel. Consists of some of the documentary and feature work I have done between 2009-2012. The fact that I haven't been able to make a showreel for the last three years, is a testament to the amount of work I have had. Ive been incredibly fortunate, been able to travel all over the world and to work with some of the best people in Norway and elsewhere. If someone told me this  in 2008/2009 (I was straight out of school, and the financial crisis was just starting!), I would say that they were a bit too…

Testing the new Sony FS100E

Documentaries around the world

I`ve done a series of trips around the globe lately on different small documentaries/segments for TV-shows in Norway. First up was Shanghai, with Dinamo Story as production company. Inovation Norway wanted to do a tv-show around the Norwegian Day at the World EXPO 2010, which is underway in Shanghai these days. For 20 days we shot segments for an hour special that aired at NRK the 26th of June. We were everywhere in this huge city, I even did a timelapse from the balcony of the Shanghai World Financial Centre. The highest place built by man where you can actually walk outdoors in the world…
