A little bit of road trippin

Henke Jonsson made a clip of our first day of the Folgefonna trip.

I´m assuming there will be more parts coming this week now that he has a new MacBook to edit on!

I´m working on a version too, but it´s a week or three away...

Here are some more photos as well:

Youtube mania side effects

Since I made the MJ clip I´ve been bombarded with emails from people who want me to put up their videos as responses on my page or just review their personal clips.

Here´s one:

"Please take time out and check out my videos. I leave me a comment on my videos."

Thanks Just Patrick

Here is his video:

Saw this dude dancing on his blades, figured he deserved some Youtube exposure.

Ken Block and Rob Dyrdek is making "Gymkhana 2.1"

Here are two 12 sec clips on the new car.


Love the vertically held bro cam style on this clip.

#1 on Youtube

And 3rd on the Viral Video Chart!

I assume that it was the most watched clip in the world yesterday, fun.
Now when I know that it's possible I can't wait to make #1 again. Just need to find the right project...





What a trippy day. Me and Vince tried to work on this commercial yesterday, but we didn´t get much done. I was too busy getting phone calls and emails about this MJ clip.

I know it was something special when I shot it, but nothing too crazy. But for some reason it really caught on fire.




The official clip that Bounce made got uploaded a day after mine and has 302 views :)
Not the best PR work.
And they even managed to stretch some clips so the people look 4 feet tall and weigh 250lbs :)
Not the best editing work.

Pretty heavy traffic on the MJ clip

I have some clips on Youtube with pretty heavy rotation.

I didn´t check my email for a few hours and was quite surprised when I had 400 unread emails, funny.


One where my boss jumps his car that has about 17.000.000 I think, the last segment from Mtn Lab 1.5 has a few million hits too and then there are a few teasers that are around 2-300.000.
But this MJ clip did pretty good too.

Most viewed clip in Sweden today an number 8 on Youtube global favorite list. Not too shabby.

Plus the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet had over 33.000 hits on their version this moring that they stole (ripped the video) and used as if they shot it, with logo and everything. They have a nice little letter from my lawyer coming their way on Monday.

It´s pretty weird that whoever did PR for this hired photographers and filmers to shoot it and distribute it on Youtube. But they still haven´t managed to make a clip. And they had Monster Energy Drink sponsor it to pay for the filmers etc... Seems to me like someone should be fired. And Monster can contact me if they want to have their logo on the clip so they get some return on their investment.

http://viralvideochart.unrulymedia.com have the clip listed as #4 today. Beating Michael´s daughters tearful goodbuy and Larry King´s clip with the "ghost".

Perez Hilton contributed with over 80.000 views today as well, plus it the most emailed link from his site.

Internet, powerful shit.

MJ clip

Even Perez Hilton found the clip I uploaded, funny.

Michael Jackson tribute in Stockholm today at Sergels Torg and Central Station

The dance collective Bounce invited the public for a choreographed lesson before performing parts of Beat It at three locations in Stockholm.
These two are from Sergels Torg and the Central Station. The third one will be at Stureplan at 23.00.

Teaser from Factor Films

Kind of like That´s It That´s All-ish but great filming nontheless.

Dolly set up

It´s been a few years since I shoot dolly shots but after seeing a local Norwegian film crew in Folgefonna this weekend I took their idea and tried out a few shots.

I think dolly shots are usually too contrived but they do look great for certain things. But when everyone who shoots snowboarding does it and it becomes almost obligatory I rather look for other things / ways to film.

Anywho. Here´s the low budget dolly set up. Picture and video.






The most influential shot I can think of in my filmmaking, or at least as far as camera movement / dollies are concerned is this one of Donny Barley that Dan Wolfe filmed in the mid 90´s (first 2 sec of the clip).
