Back in action

So now I´m back in action, in Karlskrona, in caos. We are running towards on deadline and now is the time to be really sure of what steps we take. As AD I feel that we have crossed the point of no return in this productio. We had a meeting with our client yesterday and got to show our designs. This meeting was a bit late in the production, because now we don´t really have time to go back and redo our concept and designs. But we were happy to know that they loved it. Some minor changes but nothing we can handle.

This is a little storyboard for our intro sequnce. This is what I will digg into this weekend.


This weekend will be the calm before the storm. We have the deadline on next thursday and we havn´t opend After Effects yet. This weekend our PM, designer, illustrator and CD will be traveling home and get back on monday, which leaves me here. So to make the most of the time, I will start to animate. As much I can.
Yvonne will work with the designs as well, but from home. Filip will also do some work over the weekend.

I´ve done some 3D work, the only 3D in this project, or maybe not. Who knows? Would love to get some time to lern more modeling in 3D but the time is short and much to do.


This is tease I got for you.

Recruitment visit

Today was the day when I was supposed have visit my old school to promote Hyper Island. And so I did. In conclusion, the day has been going fantastic. They loved me. All of them.
Haha. No but it went well. It was really nice to get to see my old teachers and the new students.

I presented Hyper Island as a different kind of school that they were used to. I asked them to name a couple of things that was usual for a school like teachers, homework, classrooms and so on. Then I pointed out how the different things was done on Hyper ISland. Instead of teachers we have our class as a resource and got cool lectures instead. That we worked in a old military prison instead of an ordinary school facility and so on.
Many were interested and a got a lot of questions. I talked much more then I thought I would because of all the questions I got. It was were fun to see them so interested in Hyper Island.



On other news, I got some really good designs from Yvonne today. They will really do the job.

This is the tee...



...and this is my dog with the tee.

Wazzup Formas & Bodenfors!

So today I was visiting Formas & Bodenfors in Stockholm. Got to talk to the head people over lunch and then go with them to a shooting of a campaign. Interesting to see what people are present at a shoot and how things are done.
Wont go into details but having my internship there seems like a good choice.

I have been working a lot with the script and story for our promotion video for SYLF and it seems like it´s going in a good direction. And talking about direction, my art direction looks good as well.


Got some nice sketches from Yvonne, but we will have to set the design this week.


Time to meet the family. And the dogs. But they are the family as well.

Tickets home

On monday morning I´ll take my backpack with my computer, some cloths and a kickass presentation and jump on the train home to Sundsvall.
But before I´ll get to Sundsvall I will have a stop in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, to have a lunch-meeting with some guys from Forsman & Bodenfors. F&B (Forsman & Bodenfors) is a really talented agency and have got a lot of prices for their work.
They contacted me and wanted to have a meeting with me about an internship at F&B so I´m really happy that they like my work. Even if I´ve would like to go to New York or Los Angeles it is an option to have my internship in Sweden. If that´s what´s gonna happened, F&B is one of the 3-4 in Sweden I would like to go to.

After this meeting I will go home to Sundsvall and see my lovely family to later on wednesday visit my old high school and have a lecture in design and a presentation about Hyper Island. This to get more people to recruit to our school.

About our current project at hyper:
We are now done with our concepts and have picked one to work more on. Not to spoil it now already when it´s a bit unclear and all but it´s about a super hero. It kind
of gets a bit hard next week when I have to go away for some days and have the Art Director role in the group. But thanks to Skype, Stixy, Google Documents and my sweet mail, we will actually get something done. Because we really have to, we have a load of stuff to do and not that long to do it.

Mixing the ideas

This day has been all about mixing our thoughts and ideas and try to define 10 good concepts. Even if it was a slow start this morning, we came up with some pretty nice concepts and after work we got a little bit of food with our PM. A nice day to say the least.

On monday I will go home to Sundsvall and promote Hyper Island at my former school. It´s gonna be really nice to get to see my parents, brother and my bellowed dogs.



Some time before chirstmas I got really eager to see our dogs so I made a little tribute to them.


I have to promote my new blog as well. RandomJerbo.blogspot.com is the thing. This place will be for the stuff I create and wont end up on my portfolio. And also some other good stuff I find.

Creative process can begin

We have started off with the more creative work now when the re-brief is done for today. As always we used the lovely post-it notes and tried to see in what way we are going in this project.


I don´t know but it might end up something like a mix of the apple (I´m a Mac, I´m a PC) commercials and this 80´s cartoon and Scrubs.
