Film finished!!!

So now we are FINALLY finished with the film!!! Jippiie!

The premiere was at the AnimationVolda festival saturday 22 September, and everything went well!

The film was even selected as one of the 11 student films from the Nordic and Baltic countries 

to screen and compete at Fredrikstad Animation Festival, and we are super happy for that!

It was some hectic last days when we worked on the film, sleeping on the schools uncomfortable couch while rendering the film.

A big thanks to everyone who helped and supported us with the film. It has been a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. With both blood, sweat and tears. We worked so hard that Eirik woke up one day believing that the sun outside the window was a greenscreen, and Anna dreamt that she found her friend inside of a giant milk package. That is probably a sign that it is time to finish and take a break from the hard work.

Thanks!

Coming soon to a festival near you...

Hello! Im outside your door!

Hello! 

Just standing outside here letting you know that we're still working hard to get the film done! We have made a lot of progress lately and hope we can keep up this speed! So in the end we can show a teaser of what is coming! :)

Emergency in the basement!!

The other day we had a not so happy surprice in the basement: After spending almost a day on lighting and camera settings we were finally ready to animate the scene (friday evening) when we suddenly discovered a stain of water in the middle of the set! It was waterdrops that came from the ceiling, dripping down on the set. And after a moment it was dropping from two spots in the roof.. We where terrifyed that we have to remove everything and do the lighting all over again, but problemsolvers as we are, we found a meanwhile solution: tape and toiletpaper, sticked on the roof with a broom:

Evidence

of the waterstain.

Plastic cups to save
the set from water.

Genius solution.

And then we could animate the scene
witout any water dripping from the roof!

Scale Testing

In order to decide the scale of the puppets and sets, we did some quick scale testing using cardboards. This was useful to find out if certain camera angles works. Becuase of the big and clumbsy creatures, we decides to make the overall scales not so big.
