Livets Lenker – Sound design
Bjørneby Productions has made another book trailer for Cappelen Damm. I did not have time for the field recording, but have done audio post production and sound design.
The short film called “Livets Lenker” is directed by Magnus Bjørneby and shot on RED One by Torgeir Haugaard. Watch the film at the Norske Serier site.
I had a few big challenges with too low recorded sound with following noise, but the result should not be too bad. Have a look.
Portrait experiments
Here’s three experimental portraits.
The flash used is a Nissin DI466. A cheap deal. It works quite nice, but eats batteries. My dad bought one, and when I found out it syncs wirelessly to other DI466’s, I had to get one as well. The syncronization isn’t too stable, though.
The first and the last photos are done with long exposure and me running around with the flash. In the one with the two girls I even chose to show some of the blinks as an effect. The middle picture is the only one with two Nissin flashes used.
All three pictures are taken with my Canon EOS 400D and the 18-55 kit lens.
The details of a studio
It’s fun to explore macro photography and depth of field, I enjoy playing with form and details. Since I spend a lot of time in my studio, which is a great place to be creative, I don’t need to go anywhere else to find motives. So here are the results of a photo session with a selection of my gear. This may not be considered art for anyone but audiophiles like me. Let’s call it sound gear porn.
The pictures are shot with my Canon EOS 400D camera and Sigma APO 70-300mm F4-5.6 lens. They are only slightly edited in Photoshop.
Introducing: Innotune.net
Innotune.net is finally launched, a project I’ve been working on for the last six months. It’s an electronic music podcast and blog.
It’s been a while since I retired as a house dj and a host in the radio show about electronic music called Feedback. This winter I felt the urge to work with electronic music again, and I wanted it to be through a podcast.
Free Download: Washme – Flash
Washme is my alias for filthy electro. Download the tune Flash right here!
This is actually a track I’ve had laying around for some time. It was only collecting dust on my hard drive, so why not give it away for free?
It comes in two versions. The original is mixable, and the short edit is for listening. It’s up for grabs at SoundCloud, NRK Urørt and in the flash players below. Just click the down arrow to the right.
Enjoy!
Sagaen om Sunniva – Sound design
I didn’t have time to do the field recording this time, but it still was fun to do the sound design for Bjørneby Productions latest book trailer.
The music is based on a track by Pierre Gerwig Langer, but I added a few elements and my wife Anne Marit did additional vocals.
The commercial is made for Cappelen Damm and directed by Magnus Bjørneby.
Photolicious
Every now and then I pull up my Canon EOS 400D to play around. The following pictures are captured with either my Sigma APO 70-300mm F4-5.6 lens, my Canon 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens or a Canon 50mm F1.4 borrowed by Øyvind Bye Skille.
Photography isn’t my first priority, so even though I dream of a better camera and a few more lenses, I don’t think it will happen for a while.
Have a look!
