My Visual Mind

I like the visual spectacular, things that get your attention and keep it! Mindblowing animations, cinematographic pieces of art, original paintings, street art or just a photograph that speaks to me.

Tine - Rio Olympics 2016 - vignettes from Storm Studios on Vimeo.

We are very proud to have produced these eight sponsor vignettes for Tine for the Norwegian broadcast of the Olympic Games 2016, with our own animation director Lars Ellingbø. We had a great time working with Jørgen Lauré and Adam Billyeald from McCann on these fun and imaginative pieces where a drop of milk or juice falling into liquid form sports icons. A combination of Houdini, Maya and RealFlow were used to produce these exiting shapes.

Pause 2017 Opening Titles from Echoic : Music and Sound Design on Vimeo.

This year's theme of Pause is "Different Perspective". The whole idea was inspired by an anime called "Digimon Adventure", whose opening scenes show the different angle of a night city and digital creatures.Therefore, we decide to focus on a different angle or perspective of empty cities, to express a feeling of isolation, despite the fact we live in these spaces. The idea of using a cat for guidance is borrowed from an indie game called "HK", which will enhance the feeling of isolation between human and their environment.

Ceska Sporitelna - Vaclav Vojta from Dan DiFelice on Vimeo.

In 1968, while on vacation in Yugoslavia, Dr. Vaclav Vojta and his family discovered that the Soviet Union had invaded their home country of Czechoslovakia...again. The chose to not return home and instead flee to Germany, leaving everything behind including their home, their community and Dr. Vojta's practice. In Cologne he was able to continue his work, predominantly treating children who suffered from mobility disorders such as scoliosis and cerebral palsy. His methods were unconventional and required the blind trust from the parents, often through the painful responses of their children. Regardless of the fact that he was often met with skepticism by both parents and the scientific community, Dr. Vojta continued to refine his methods and treat the debilitated. His methods are still used to this day and have helped treat thousands upon thousands around the world, both young and old.

Matriarchs from Jeremy Snell on Vimeo.

Executive Producer: Alexa Pham Director/Producer: Oz Go DOP: Jeremy Snell AC: Leah Barylsky Editor/Sound Design: Nick Stone Color: Mel Matsuoka Music/Composer: Prinze George

The women of Daughters Rising are leaders. They own businesses and raise households. They are often the first from their families to pursue an education or even own a company. Meanwhile the abused elephants they care for are also matriarchs. Elephant society is matriarchal. The oldest, wisest female elephants lead, and their knowledge can often mean the difference between life and death for the entire herd.

Daughters Rising (daughtersrising.org) is a non-profit founded by women and for women. Based in Thailand, they combat sex trafficking and help at-risk indigenous Kayan/Karen women and refugees by providing them with tuition support, education workshops, and business opportunities. They even manage a special eco-lodge in Chiang Mai. Matriarchs is a tribute to the women of Daughters Rising. An affirmation that each determines her own path along with the abused elephants they care for.

Narrative Lost (narrativelost.org) is partnering with women-founded organizations from around the world to produce independent films that draw attention to the plight of women's rights globally.

Find my Phone - Nederlands from Anthony van der Meer on Vimeo.

Per week wordt er in Nederland 300 keer aangifte gedaan van smartphone diefstal. Naast het feit dat je een dure telefoon kwijt bent, heeft een onbekende ook toegang tot al je foto’s, video’s, e-mails, contacten en berichten.

Maar wat voor persoon steelt een telefoon? En waar komen die telefoons terecht? In de documentaire Find my Phone wordt het tweede leven van een gestolen telefoon gevolgd. Door middel van spyware maak je kennis met de persoon achter de diefstal. Maar hoe goed kun je iemand eigenlijk leren kennen aan de hand van zijn telefoon?

Engelse versie en (langere) vertoningsversie beschikbaar. Voor vertoningen, graag contact opnemen. Het volledige verhaal achter de film horen? Ik kom graag langs om een aanvullende lezing of Q&A te geven. [email protected]

BALANCE from Tim Sessler on Vimeo.

We humans we create, we work, we stay busy from birth to death and never rest. We build, aim higher, work harder, accomplish more, and to what end? "Balance" takes an abstract look at our modern world, the full and the empty spaces and time in which we live and choose to make our lives.
