I just returned from a two week trip to the Faroe Islands, shootning material for a documentary about storytelling in the country. We are writing about the project on the development blog. (In Danish).

This weekend Connected was awarded an Honorable Mention at the 2011 ITSA Film Festival in Groveland, California. I directed Connected together with Jens Raunkjær Christensen a few years ago, and it is still being screened at festivals around the world.

As I have mentioned in a previous post I am currently working on a film project about storytelling on the Faroe Islands. You can read more about the project on the development blog. (In Danish).
This week we received financial support from the Faroese fund Mentanargrunnur Landsins. Earlier this year we were also supported by The Danish Film Workshop and the Faroese cultural ministry Mentamálaráðið. We are currently planing the first round of shooting, and are really looking forward to the final result.

Restaurangutang is a Danish tv show on the children’s interest channel Ramasjang: Three apes in a kitchen, along with their crazy sidekick characters, are goofing around, dishing up food and encouraging children to cook with their family and play restaurant. I recently worked with Anders Ladegaard and Copenhagen Bombay, programming the Flash website for the show. Check out the final website here: Restaurangutang.

This week I was hired by Nordisk Film TV, to develop a image enhancement plug-in, to solve a specific issue in a upcoming tv show. The final result was a simple drag and drop plugin, that I programmed using Final Cut FxScript.

The Monsters captured and herded around The Peblinge Lake in Copenhagen during a week in July 2011. This was a fun quick street art project I did with with Mira Vinzents, that got people looking, photographing, and maybe seeing the stinking belching alge mounds that had been laying around the lake, in a new enjoyable way.

The projekt was featured on the Danish art blog I Do Art and the Street Art blog Streetheart.

In cooperation with the designstudio Barq I produced this vox pop for Visit Kolding and The Royal Danish Theatre. The video is promoting the annual performance by The Royal Danish Theatre at Skamlingsbanken with highlights from this years opera and ballet season. We asked citizens to describe their personal feelings about ballet and opera, and compiled a selection of the many great answers we recieved.

I have provided photography for an article in the June issue of the Danish gastronomical magazine Gastro. Read the article here: Gastro – Garum: fra romersk oldtid til det nye nordiske køkken

I am taking a lot more photos than I ever plan to post as projects here on the website. But I guess thats what a site like Flickr is for. Now I have finally gotten around to set up a profile there, where I will post my photo series as well as more casual photography. Plan to update it a lot more in the coming weeks. Check it out here.

I have added three new projects to the photo section of the website. A selection of food photography for the book Umami, a series from Yosemite National Park and set of unearthly pictures from a forest in Big Sur, California.

I recently completed graphic design and photography on the book Umami – Gourmetaben og den femte smag for the publisher Nyt Nordisk Forlag Anold Busck. Check out a selection of the photographs in the book here. Pictures of the graphic design will be posted later.

The book launch was widely covered by the Danish media: In television by TV2 Nyhederne, in radio by P1 Morgen and P4 Fyn, and in the newspapers by Politiken, JyllandsPosten, Fyens Stiftstidende and Information.

On our first research trip to the Faroe Islands

I recently assisted Deluca Film on their project “1001 secrets for kids, not for grown-ups”, directed by the Danish director trio, Frank Molino. I worked mainly with 3D tracking of the scenes, but they also asked me to composit the scene used in the trailer above, where our protagonist enters the secret Coffee Factory…

Graphic design and art direction in the film was done by Anders Ladegaard. The film premiered at Odense International Film Festival 2010, and will be broadcasted later this year on TV2.

I recently finished a short project designing the cover for the book Digital Content Creation – Perceptions, Practices & Perspectives for Peter Lang Publishing Inc., New York.

In the beginning of March 2010 I traveled to Iceland to attend the annual Northern Wave Film Festival where my short film Connected had been selected to screen. While I was there, I spend a few days traveling around the island with my co-director Jens R. Christensen, to experience the spectacular Icelandic landscape. I shot a few quick video clips of the some of the places we visited: The Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Station, the Geysir Hot springs at Laugarfjall and the amazing Gullfoss waterfall.

The film was shot on the Canon 5D Mark II using the 24-105 L lens. Please make sure to view it in full screen for the best experience.

Spread from the article in Sotokoto

I have recently provided 33 images for an article in the April issue of the Japanese magazine Sotokoto. Last week a copy of the magazine arrived in the mail. Looks so cool with the Japanese graphics and typography!

A small project from a while back. Eight postcards to promote the book Tang Grøntsager fra havet. Based on photographs from the algae collection at the Natural History Museum in London.

Books exhibited at the Paris Cookbook Fair

Last weekend I attended the Paris Cookbook Fair, where two of the books I have designed were exhibited as nominees for the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. In the category Best Asian Cookbook the sushi book placed fourth. Considering that an estimated  26.000 food and wine books are published each year*, I am really happy with the result. The exhibition was a great opportunity to meet with writes, designers and publishes, and to gather inspiration for future book projects.
