Barncancergalan 2008

Me and my friend Therese Larsson teamed up to make a commercial for Barncancergalan 2008, we came up with the concept, the design and the storyboard. Therese did the illustrations and I was the animator.

By the way, we hate the song that plays in the end, but our clients wanted it, so what could we do?

Wheres Your Head At?

We had a motion week at Hyper Island and one of our assignments was to make a 15 second movie in After Effects. I was a bit when I started to make this move, so had 24 hours to make a cool movie.

So after 3 cans of Jolt cola, some vitamine C, a lot of pushups and a sleepless night, I had my 15 seconds movie.

Bruce Lee - Be Water

This typography movie was inspired by an interview with Bruce Lee. He talked about how your mind should be like water. And I thought that philosophy was so cool that I had to make an animation too it.

Little gamers - Mc Beat

One of my first motion graphic videos, the scene is actually a wallpaper made by little-gamers.com. So I depict the wallpaper in Illustrator and imported the illustration to After Effects and had some fun with the character.
