Finally it’s Christmas and we can show off our latest gem!

The film plays off the much loved 1969 original “Tři oříšky pro Popelku” (Three wishes for cinderella / Tre nøtter til askepott), which has become THE Christmas tradition here in Norway. In this film she is out shopping in Trondheim, paying with her magical hazelnuts that transform into “MIDTBYSJEKKEN” gift cards.

We decided to shoot the transformation scenes without the actual gift card, so we would have more freedom when compositing them in later. This turned out to be a stroke of genius, because the cards were changed right after the shoot. The new card was tracked into each shot, and the transformation effect was made to match the simple yet adorable effect in the original.

AGENCY: HK Reklamebyrå.

This is a film we made for Sparebank 1. The film promotes their non-commercial initiatives that support small and big organizations across Norway, as well as their strengths as one of the biggest banks in Norway. The bank gave us a selection of words they wanted to communicate clearly. We motion-tracked these into shots designed to enhance the meaning and interpretation of each word.

Not long after our first waterhorse was printed, client Powel and agency Tibe-T came back for more. For the second version to be equally successful we had to take it to the next level. By carefully sculpting tons of splash reference to match the shape of our horse, HELMET managed to create an even more powelful version.

This is a quick little stop-motion job we did together with Denise Hauser, for Norwegian trumpeter Ole Edvard Antonsen to promote his new Christmas album “Desemberstemninger”.

This is a film we made for Sparebank1 and their design-your-own-visa campaign. We picked up some good looking people from the street and gave them green plastic cards which we later tracked and replaced with motion graphics, courtesy of Jonny Snorkel.

The competition, which by the way has a grand prize of 10 000 NOK, is still up and running.
