Warriors DJ battle

We like to try out new things and are always up for a challenge. So when asked to participate in a DJ battle we just couldn’t say no. With no prior experience we got some decks to the office to practice and put together a nice set. To ensure victory we also had some extra aces up our sleeve. And we sure did kick some ass and made it through to the final.

December 28 we’re battling it out at Debaser Malmö once more at the final round of Warriors. Be there!

This is what it looked like last time!

MTV - Breakfast Club

We were just about to close down our studio and go on vacation when MTV Nordic called. They loved what we did last time for them and asked us to produce a new bumper package for their show Breakfast Club! We just couldn't resist and went into a 3-week production frenzy. MTV wanted something happy, weird and funny in our high-end style. This is what we did.

Next Stop - BRIO

The journey continues with Brio's toytrains. This year the focus is on their Harbour and Metro sets and getting back to the fun of playing while maintaining style and design. We think they have done a pretty good job.

Koppel Collection from Georg Jensen

The fine folk at Georg Jensen wanted something up close and personal when re-launching their Koppel watch series. We had the good fortune to produce their presentation under the watchful eyes of NY based Lipman.

Sony Ericsson - Smart Extras

Sony Ericsson approached us when they needed something to show at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. They wanted a film presenting their new concept Smart Extras with the mini display LiveView in focus. Of course we were up for the challenge.

Diving into the Smart Extras concept we saw a chance to make something out of the ordinary. Smart Extras is a range of phone accessories that are made smart by adding applications to them. Just as you extend the capabilities of your smart phone with applications, you can now do the same thing with your accessories.

The Blob in 3D World!

We just got featured in the February issue of 3D World, the worlds biggest 3D magazine! We think this is really cool, although the quote cut in half doesn't make much sense.

We've gotten a lot of attention lately with different projects featured at Motionographer, Fubiz, IdN, Feber.se, VFX Sverige and we even got a staff pick at Vimeo. This is going to be a good year...

Mille - Crysteena

After spending a long night in a dark, creepy warehouse full of mannequins, and many hours of spare time in front of your computer, this is what you get!

In this piece we’ve combined two of our interests, creative visuals and electro music, to create a music video for the up-and-coming Swedish artist Mille. The idea was to use projections on mannequins to achieve a different and interesting expression where graphics almost become clothes on the bodies.

To be able to do this we got some help from a couple of friends - David Einar behind the camera and Transfett who did the live sync of visuals onto mannequins, thanks guys! Awesome work.
