Oroboros


The short project continues. Today we finished the Oroboros shoot and that well within our time limit and budget. Great work folks!!!! And a special thanks to the actress, Karoline Skuseth, for a marvelous interpetation of Ørjans script and Tarjeis instructions.
At any rate, the name "Oroboros" stems from the ancient symbol of the serpent that bites its own tale. Like this...
And this film is about how people often do the same. OROBOROS is an emotional and physical loop between apathy and and action, courage and distrust.

Project Updates

We have now sucsessfully shot the first short in "The Short Project", the tragic comic "mini" epic MOTLYD. We shot it over two days, one with mostly exterior shots and one with interior. The exteriors turned out to be quite a challange, with 5 unpaid actors, 3 degrees and heavy rain. But it worked and we pinned the shots! Great work guys, both cast and crew! And a special thanks to Siv and Brynjulv who came and did great work, but had to leave so soon. You'll be duely credited.

Next runner up is Ørjan Setvik's short about a young man with agoraphobia. It's featuring Tarjei Lyssand as a first time director and is to be shot during the last weekend of november.

Also, lately we have been working on some projects for Aker Kverner Subsea. This has been a challange due to short deadlines, but we've finished two sucsessfully and are doing the last one next week.

More commercial work seem to be coming our way theese days.

NB! We are probably going to need some actors in the near future for both commercial and fiction work, so if you're interested you should keep on reading this blog.
