Day 113 - The girl from Pixar

Big names makes a lasting impression. More about this at a later time.
For now. 2 books of my childhood made an eaven more lasting impression.
Earth and outer space, illustrated basic walkthru of our universe as it was known in the early 80s given to me by my father planted a still vibrant fascination of everything from stratosphere to andromeda and beyond. Led to a good 8 years of constant reading and rereading scifi novels and laymans literature. If nature was ever beutiful it started in mathematical patterns manifested in mans perception and interpretation of space.

I will talk more about the 2nd book some other time but for now all i could upbring was my pure love of a 2 word combination made up of polar vortex.

Day 107 - Glen Smith from Gyro

If we had known that glen smith would actually be a step up from the previous lecturers this fall we would probably have wooped more life into our 2 hour marketing pitch for the panasonic camera. But anyhow, tore did a great job with the mood board and i think we executed the concept explanation reasonably well. Chris group shined of course with an animated board boosting sound and chevy chase! Anyway, a pretty interesting 5-6 hours with Glen. Had a nice talk with him after the lecture about his and our take on whats happening next. He also described to us how his corporation (gyro) works and why we should come and work with him next year. The thing that interested me the most apart from a reasonably interesting portfolio of brands was the corporate loyalty among the employees. Were you usually expect people to leave one office for another or one country for that matter he actually described to us that a lot of creators within gyro actually swaps offices now and then to avoid going stale. This is exactly what im looking for in a company. Not that i want to or would start in Stockholm but still noteworthy. The stuff they are doing for panasonic is in parts really inspiring as well not to mention the currently aired tvspot for their series of flatscreen televisions made by some production house in germany. I guess you have all seen it and its regarded by myself as one of the absolutely most well made comercials as of late next to the recent bravia spots. On a sidenote not everyone named Glen is from Gothenburg!

Anyway. Svenska Akademien got their new single out witch features a remix bside made by my brother Dubmood. Give it a listen at his myspace! Song is titled vakna. Its really nice to see his work getting noticed not only in france but on our home front as well.

In the Visual Communications module not much is happening. Everyone is on a down low about a lot of things. The crew site might happen. Here are two pieces of a mockup series i did last night to showcase one of our ideas in a bit more detail.

Day 103 - Beirut in Copenhagen!

Back from the weekendtrip to copenhagen!

Beirut was really nice. The crowd called them back 2 times but zack suffered from a soar throat and pulled off the first 2 good ones in succession and then resided on backup singers and random crowd participants to do the rest. All together an ok show. Apart from beriuts so-so performance i had a great weekend with the group in copenhagen. Got some good drinks and foods on saturday + sunday. Should probably write something extended about this trip but for now you have to do with a lot of photos.

Day 97 - Visual Communication

Yeah

So the leader for this visual communication module is really nice so far. As is the content and the structure of the whole thing. Im looking forward to a module with shorter deadlines and less engulfing assignments as they sofar have proven to be way to long to actually feel solid. Had a good and pretty thick day with him yesterday where we went thru the basics of communication, values and feelings in shapes. This continued today with the second lecturer Stevens Henri wich also proved to be a big step up in quality compared to previous modules. He as well as Greg spoke great and varied english wich makes it alot easier to push thru a 6-7 hour lectureday like theese.
After speaking about colors and shapes in mediacomunication greg had us down in the basement for a hands on workshop with acrylic painting. Really nice to do something that practical and basic for a change. So far its been a good week as far as schol goes but alot of other shit brings down the average. Some good meetings about the crewsite and our own bureau project with the municipality of karlskrona here has gone really well wich counts towards the positive side i guess.

Well. Its gotten cold on multiple levels.

Day 95 - Xmas Calendar plans

Hi there

Been busy cooking up updates for a client all sunday but i managed to squeeze in the kickoff teaser for my little upcomming project shaped around an xmas calendar. Planning to team up the class 2 by 2 and have them make a window each in a 25 day classic December 1 to 25 calendar. This is what the teaser looks like sofar.

Day 92 - End of module 3

Yeah it ended.
We thew a pretty good show for the board but they didnt quite get it nor did they approve of our 3 millions to put in kaspers hole. Got some stuff up in my portfolio from the concept graphics. Apart from that we have been planning some more for the buraus projects. Going well.
An also, if anyone have waffles.fm invites please send me one.

Dubmood sent me this flickr slide from the main festival.

Day 90 - All theese words

Kasper and Tore typed down a whitepaper the size of the yellow river this week. Tried to keep up and match with graphics but there is just too many things leading me astray sometimes. It will probably turn out fine but sometimes i really feel we could customize our modules abit more, just as far as their leangth goes. These text & research assignements would probably make people alot happier being shorter. Wich would result in ambitions being more realistic and practically more efficient in the end. Aside from that alot of paralell romantic drama has also started to evolve inside the class. And in some ocations with the outside world as well.

Apart from Hyper Island there was a cold weekend in Karlskrona!
Nathalie came to visit wich was really nice. Took no photos but she brought me some nice tees.
Thank you baby.

By the way. Make sure you dont miss this flick.
