Lectures at HIHM

December 19, 2008 on 7:12 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments

During the autumn semester 2008 I also teached the soon to be bachelors of Interactive Media at the University College on Hamar. My subject was Concept Art, with emphasis on visuals, but also touching in on game design. It was a challenging but fun task. In the end I think many of the students produced some quality artwork as well. I wish them the the best of luck for the future! This goes for the faculty as well, which is quite young. I’m looking forward to see how it’ll evolve.

Barley Films in Oslo

My friend Barry O’Donoghue also visited Oslo this December. Barry is running the animation studio Barley Films in Dublin. Barry is known to be very fund of everything arctic, so we fed him whale beef and walked for hours in the freezing Norwegian winter. In his suitcase he brought his very interesting script and teaser for Barley Films’ animated feature Little Caribou which is in development. I’m very much looking forward to that one!

Dreamworks director Mark Osborne in Oslo

I had the pleasure of being one of the hosts for Dreamworks Kung Fu Panda director Mark Osborne on his visit to Oslo. The trip was arranged and funded by Storm Studios, Paramount Pictures and the Norwegian Film Board. Mark had some busy days in the snow, going from one talk to the next, doing promotion for the DVD, and being a guest at Grosvold, the biggest talkshow here. I did a two hour interview with him on stage at the Film Board, and was one of the lucky few to attend a nine hour masterclass. Mark proved to be a great guy. We got good value for the effort and money spent arranging the trip, and I learnt a lot from him. Kung Fu Panda made it really big at the 2009 Annie awards, and was nominated for an Oscar. Beyond awesome!!
