Barda

Creating Barda
Over a 3 month period i created 10 animated battle sequenses for the Barda tv series from easyfilm. It is very limited animation but great fun to do.

H.C.A Boardgame

Artwork by Krisrian Kunz and Teddy Christiansen.

A very ambitious H.C Andersen boardgame in development at MP strategy consulting.

Asterix and the Vikings. EFX

Storyboard on Asterix and Vikings.

A hand drawn animated feature with some real acting and splendid draftsmanship, how about that!!!






Here are a few Storyboard panels from Asterix. Towards the end of the story period it was Ignacio Ferreras, Warren Leonhart and me, who did most of the boards. It was quite rushed, we had about 6 months for the entire feature. Very frustrating and a lot of fun.
We dodeled the boards and got some great artists like Dan Harder and Christian Kunst to clean them up. Very privileged.

Click on the picture to see slide show of the one of the boards. Its a montage sequence showing Asterix and Opelix training training the wimp Justforkix.

X-hale

A short break from the Asterix project gave me time to do some fun illustrations and some webdesign on the anti smooking project “X-hale”for The Danish Cancer Society.

Storyboard Trollstory

I did Storyboard on Trollstory some years ago. One of the most interesting projects I’ve worked on, a film with so much potential. Unfortunately it never made it to the big screen. Do not confuse it with the TV series of the same name.

The story is about a boy that thinks he’s a troll but realizes towards the middle that he is actually human. Sort of Mowgly meets Lords of the Rings.

Here is a slideshow of some of the boards I did for the film.

and here is more a few sequences later.

Lego character designs

A few samples of the Lego characters that I've redesigned for the advertising. This was from the time where Lego had no restraints on how much a redesign should match the original Lego toy.

Here is a short overview of what I’ve been up to the last couple of years…

2001 - 2003

At A-film I worked on Help iam fish, supervising special effects and moved over to do development work on Trollstory ( a great, very promising project that never got financed. )

I joined A films new Game dpt. where I co directed two computergames with Eskil Møhl: Zone 5 and Rich In Paradice. http://www.richinparadise.dk/
Later I went to work on a game based on the Swedish Golith franchise, developing concept and gameplay. An ambitious project involving several platforms, both a console game and a TV game. Jan Solheim did the designs. http://www.afilm.dk/games/goliat/goliat.html

Drawings by Jan Solheim copyright Afilm

I took a break from Afilm and joined the newly formed game company Kudos. Here I did development work on the console game “Jerusalem” ( another great, very promising project that never got financed. )

Later I returned to Afilm to do what I enjoy the most – storyboard.
I did bords for the CGI feature Ugly Duckling, and moved on to do boards on Asterix and the Vikings.
