Another bumper for Norwegian TV2, this time with a spring theme. My little tribute to the movie "A Bug's Life". TV2's slogan "Se hva som skjer" is "See what happens" in English.

Norwegian TV2 wanted me to produce an identity bumper spot in the Christmas spirit of their existing "nisse" bumpers, and I created and animated this little mouse character who is celebrating his own Christmas inside the walls of an old house. TV2's slogan "Se hva som skjer" is "See what happens" in English.

Look closer, not everything is as it seems... This is another identity bumper I did for TV2 Norway, and it may look like a regular fall forest scene, but upon closer inspection there are hidden sinister faces in the tree trunks and mysterious eyes gazing in the dark...

For the past 10 years I have done the design of all the marketing material for the Nobel Peace Price Concert, held every year in Oslo, Norway on December 11th to celebrate the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.

I was hired by Qvisten Animation to participate on a fun commercial for the Stratos chocolate bar, and I animated a couple of the shots in it (the three cows dancing and the jumping on one leg falling off).
The commercial is a spoof on MC Hammer's "You Can't Touch This" and features a blue dancing cow (the Stratos mascot character) going crazy. The commercial was produced by Guro Sætereie, directed by Rasmus Sivertsen and Rune Spaans. The other animators were Atle Blakseth, Andre Hay and Ivar Rødningen.

I worked as a character animator at Double Negative in London on Guillermo del Toro's Hollywood blockbuster movie "Hellboy II: The Golden Army". A huge effort and there was about 250 very talented artists working on the film. I animated several shots of the pixies flying around in the Troll Market sequence and huge robots fighting in the climax of the film. My animation supervisors were Jay Davis and Eamonn Butler.

When establishing a chain of fitness studios around Norway, Shapes Fitness approached me and asked me to do their corporate identity design. I designed everything from their logo to advertisements, illustrations, brochures and outdoor signage a.o

"World Record" is a fun little 3D animated short film I made during a 6-month period (animation takes a lot of time). It is about a weightlifter trying to set a new record, but a vengeful fly makes it hard for him.

Through the years I've made numerous logo designs for all types of businesses, but primarily for the entertainment industry (record companies, bands, broadcast etc.). Here is a small display of some of them.

For Jordan toothbrushes (and Wisdom in the UK) I have produced several 3D animated commercials featuring their products.

This is a 3D model of a female I made as an anatomy study a few years ago. It is available for purchase at Turbosquid in a variety of the most popular 3D formats, and you may use it in your commercial or personal projects as you wish.

This is an old animation I did way back in 2001 for the Quart Music Festival in Kristiansand, Norway, one of Norway's largest music festivals. I worked for them for many years designing most of their print marketing material as well. This ident was nominated as a Finalist in the Logos & Ident category at the European 3D Festival in Copenhagen in 2002.
