Tutorial - How to prepare and export Google Map data from Blender to Unreal engine.
04 feb -24, 10.37
While working on Galaktens helte I had to create an areal shot of the danish parlament.
I used BLOSM add-on for blender to import google map data set and created a python script that loops through all the materials created by Blosm. It changes the default materials to a standard Principled BSDF shader compatible with fbx export to UE5. .
I know that there are other ways but this worked for me and I made a little video to share my solution.

Onkel Reje og Galaksens helte - Premiere
08 jan -24, 12.13
After 13 month of hard work our new season With Onkel Reje finally aired on January 5th 2024. Can't imagine a better way to start the new year!
This time we switched rendering tech to Unreal Engine 5, wich has been a blast to work with. Even if we have used real time tech since 2012, this is the first time I've experienced real-time workflow and it makes the work so much more fun. Itteration is a breeze. Building and detailing the sets becomes so much more effortless when you can fly around and add things without having to wait for the image render before update.
I'm currently looking in to what comes next. There will be a pause before there's anything new from the Reje team, so lets go 2024.
Very exiting times indeed!

Tro, håb og gorgonzola - Animated set
19 nov -22, 21.47
Today was the premiere of Tro, håb og gorgonzola. En theater adaption based on Lars Daneskovs childrens book. It has been my pleasure to work with such an amazing team of cool and creative people. Especially the close collaboration with illustrator Pernille Lykkegård whos colorful watercolor paintings I've had the enjoyment to breath life and movement in to.
Earlier today, I took the train with my wife and two children to the premiere in Nykøbing F at Teater Masken, where it plays for the next four weeks.
In the beginning of next year it plays at Teater Vestvolden in Hvidovre.
Onkel Reje - Best Danish TV show for children 2022
08 apr -22, 11.13
On the 26 of march we won Denmarks best childrens tv show at TV prisen (The Danish TV Awards) for our show "Onkel Rejes fede sommerferie". Well deserved, if you ask me ;)
It felt Great!
We had a good time at the award show. Mads, Jesper, Brian and me were there to accept it.
I had no expectation that we would win this time either, since we were up against so many other good productions.
In the past I've told myself it dosn't mean anything, but when it happens it feels very special.
Looking forward to start production of the next season later this year.
The jury's motivation was...
"It's old school and super modern at the same time. A crazy, unpretentious universe wich feels almost infinite. Outside the box, funny and intelligently goofy. It's uniqe danish childrens tv."
”Det er på en gang oldschool og helt vildt moderne. Et vanvittigt, uprætentiøst univers, som føles nærmest uendeligt. Skævt, sjovt og intelligent fjollet. Det er unikt dansk børnefjernsyn.”
Onkel Reje - Mysteriet
11 mar -22, 11.33
I got the opportunity to direct a musicvideo for Onkel Rejes Store Sommerferie. It started out as an idea where we would use motioncapture to make the dancing skeletons. In the end we setteled for a more simple approach for the musicvideo.
The set design is heavily inspired from silent movie era classics like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, where I played around with forced perspective.
This is also the first time I used Blenders realtime renderer Eevee in production for the stage at the end.
Switching from Element 3D to Eevee was such a great upgrade to the visual fidelity and production value of the show. Next logical step for us now is to switch over to Unreal Engine.
Good times to be alive!

Just before our 2nd child came in April I had the absolute plessure of working on the film adaptation of Harry Martinsons space poem Aniara. I've made set extentions for 15 shots that had to be reframed to a wider format.
Great to work with DOP Sophie Winqwist again and the very talented crew that have made this wonderful movie.

Lene og Lillebror
28 apr -18, 09.42
Back at Teater Vestvolden to help out with 2 Shorts for their new childrens play Lene og Lillebror that will tour Denmark in their Theater bus.
The first film is the introduction of Lillebrors trough a recreation of the style of his tv-show from Lenes childhood. Lillebror discovers there's a world outside his tv-universe and comes out of the tv and on to stage.
Music by Mathias Nielsen, and puppeteer is Ernesto Piga Carbone.
The second film was created together with illustrator Chapper. I've created a short sequence when Lillebror and Lene go back in to the television to get Lillebrors piano. They are transformed into a Cirkeline style animation.

Just finished another campaign video for Danmarks Naturfredningsforening (The Danish Society for Nature Conservation).

Fly Trap - by Sparrow Dance
21 apr -16, 10.23
For some time now I've been working with the aerial dance show Fly Trap.
It premiered and played for a full audience in the beginning of April at Teaterøen in Copenhagen.
This is the trailer and shows some early work as backgrounds for the performers. I'm thinking about how to present a more accurate picture of my work, but...
Well, anyhoo... This wonderful project by the artistic director and choreographer Esther Wrobel from Sparrow Dance, has been a great collaboration with Sam Moore on the set design and animation.
The two amazingly talented performers are Rebecca Seward and Kajsa Bohlin.
Flytrap is a family performance made for children from the age of 6 to 9. The show creates a magical and surreal universe of aerial dance in combination with video animations.
Fly Trap is laid out as a form of rescue game and adventure that the two heroines of the show will overcome together.
A performance full of flying, dance, acrobatics and spacial illusions. Reminds both adults and children that our mind has special power to change our reality and how we perceive it.
Dit første barn - God Barndom
14 feb -16, 19.38
In four days we go in the studio to record the actors voices for the two short animated films me and Susan Stølsvig Skovmand are making for God Barndoms new educational material for birth- and parental courses for danish towns (kommuner). This time we focus more on the second half of the family's first year, and the fathers 3 month long parental leave.
God barndom is Else Guldager from sundhedsplejersken.dk og John Andersen from JAForum and we hope to fund four more films to also cover the the period from 6 month pregnant to 6 month old in this universe. More on this later...
Taynikma - Success at Teater Vestvolden
9 dec -15, 14.49
My wish to work more with stage performence has payed off. I've had the privilage of workin for three months, animating the entire set piece for Teater Vestvoldens modern pantomime Taynikma - Skyggens vilja.The show is 50 minutes long and for the entire length of it, the background is alive and helps drive the story in a very interactive way.
Taynikma is a well known manga series in denmark by Jan Kjær and Manfred P. Mann. It's been translated to nearly 20 other languages and with this project, and thanks to Stephan Folmer and Teater Vestvolden, for the first time to a stage play.
Manfred wrote a new uniqe story for their universe, with a new female lead and her struggle to free her twin. Jan Kjær did the fantastic drawings that I used for the backgrounds.
The entire set is animation on three screens mesuring 7x3 meters in all. It's made in a way so the dancers can pass through it and we seemlesly switch to a filmed performance allowing costume change and an over the top death scene. There's 21 animated scenes in 17 different enviroments that tell a very detailed story about the main characters travels. There's also animated characters, the magic of the Taynikma, a beautiful timelaps from night til dawn traveling through a forrest, and of course, the destruction of the shadow king's castle... And much more.
The story demanded a a twin sister of the main character. The solution we chose was to shoot Jennifer Wagstaffe entire performence of her twin sister in a green-screen that we buildt at Teater Vestvolden. Her entire performance on the screen is over 20 minutes, and we had to have the possibility to go back and revise her performence during rehearsals to match where she looks and how her interaction with the other dancers worked.
I really hope there's more projects like this on the horizon. I'm currently working on another stage animation with Sparrow Dance. More on that later...
The Red & the Hidden Language - Music video

The third piece is press photos.
I will tell more on this project in he future...
Barndommens land - 4 animated films.
25 jun -15, 20.27
I was asked to make 4 short animated films, that should inspire partisipants of a parental class/course, to open up and start talking about what they are going through.
The parental course is made by Else Guldager at Sundhedsplejersken.dk in collaboration with Jon Andersen at Udviklingsforum for Rinkøbing/Skjerns kommune. They asked me to make four funny films where each one should center around a specific time in an expecting couples life before and after the baby is born.
My pitch was essentially to focus equally on both parents in a positive way and letting the father take parrental leave in the last film.
I asked Susan Stølsvig Skovmand to write the script around a loose idea of a sitcom, but with a much slower pace. The two main charecters were designed for the book and film by Camilla before I got involved.
All characters are played by Brian Lykke and Christine Exner and they were directed by both me and Susan in the recording studio before I took the recordings home and made the films.
I wanted the theeme song to reference back to the music the parents grew up with so I asked Jeppe Højgaard to composed a theme song with clarinett and acoustic guitar to get kind of a nordic 70's feel.
Another great project with great people.
Taynikma - Skyggens vilje
23 feb -15, 21.46
'Taynikma - Skyggens vilje' is a modern pantomime/dance performence produced by and performed later this year at Teater Vestvolden in Hvidovre. There's three weeks left of rehearsals and everything is comming together. I have, once again, the pleasure of working with animation and real people as the dancers interact with the animated background. One of the characters is a shadow that only exist on the screen and has been performed and filmed in a green-screen.
New Onkel Reje music video - Jeg kender Julemanden!

Onkel Rejes Store Piratshow - Premiere
24 apr -14, 17.56
Premiere tomorrow. I'm so excited to meet the response this time. It feels like a giant leap in production value from the earlier seasons with 'Brevkassen'. I hope that we get an even bigger audience this time. It's still for 3 to 7 year olds and their parents but this feels like a much more streamlined show. Still uniqe and original, with Onkel Rejes politcal incorrect undertone in the center.
This music video is for the end credits.
We've shot 12 episodes with a different child in each, and every episode is a 22 minute long treasure hunt in the Caribbeans with Onkel Reje, the child and Brille. On the way they meet a bunch of funny and a bit scary characters, the dreaded twin pirates Alex & Brian, King Neptun, the giant crab Ronaldo, Onkel Rejes old school teacher the Cannibal, and many more.
We are halfway through post production by now. 6 episodes left to do by mid-june... It feels like I've made a pretty stable workflow where we do one episode per week. Each episode is about 17 minutes of exclusive green screen content. We could do with some automation at times. Going to look into scripting and building tools when I find the time.
The page at Ramasjang is up and running.

So we are doing a new show with Onkel Reje.
It's going to be a pirate themed adventure show where in every episode, a new kid joins Onkel Reje, to hunt for a treasure somewhere in the Caribbeans.
I'm in the middle of building and designing the sets for the show.
Here is a sneak preview of where I'm so far. We start shooting in february.
Onkel Reje - Finished with seven new episodes.
18 jul -13, 23.39

Friday night there was a reception for Ramasjang and the new childrens channel for older kids, Ultra.The most memorable moment was when Jakob Stegelmann from Troldspejlet came and wanted to shake our hands and congratulated me and Mads on a fantastic program. He was really happy for Onkel Reje and told us that he could see a nordic southpark like potential in us :)
Later this week I'm going to Lowe Friends to talk about some new freelance work while we're waiting to start up the production of the next season with Onkel Reje and his best buddy Brille.

Cinema dell Arte - Prinsessen og frøen
5 aug -12, 23.06
Live 3D animated theatre with Unity 3D and Optitrack Arena. I must say it was a huge success!
5 of 6 hearts in politiken
As head of Motion Capture, my job was to get a stable motion capture with minimum 3 actors at the same time. Scence it was for a live performance, it had to work rocksolid for an hour, three times a day. I managed to calibrate our 24 cameras to motion track 4 persons with 38 point skeleton relativley stable. So we were able to perform with all four actors simultaneously in some scenes.
The biggest problem I find with the Optitrack system is it's limitation to only capture two actors simultaneously with optimised performance, and the limited way to differentiate the actors dots on the suits, so Arena can identify who is who in the capture area.
This was a graduation project at the Danish Film School for the animation director Petter Madegård. But there are great things in the works, so you can look forward to see more from us in the near future.

Klar til barn - Dina og Simons nye verden
30 sep -11, 11.01
Just finnished 4 animated short films for the Danish Servicestyrelsen. They are a part of a new education program for "soon to be parents" called "Klar til barn".I'm the director and animator. I also did a lot of hand drawn illustrations, but all the characters were designed by Kammilla Wichmann.
Did it in 10 days. All I got to start with was the unedited recordings of the actors, and the three characters for the family, and a very tight deadline. so I storyboarded the 4 films, did animatics , Animated, Illustrated and finally did the sound.
I wish I've had more time to go in to details with the characters facial expressions and body movement, but the project became more of an exercise in speed animation and telling the story with as little as possible. Very fun and very demanding. Couldn't have done it without loving support from my very patient and understanding woman :)

2011, The year of Nuke
12 jan - 11, 14.06
I've gotten a chance to try out NukeX by the Foundry and this is my first go. It's a HD still Photo from the Internet that I've made into a - Day to Night - 3D Matte painting Scene with a camera move inside Nuke.
Then, just to try the workflow, I exported the scene into Cinema 4D and added a little animation of a space bus with volumetric light and rendered out a multipass EXR back to Nuke. Then I used ".chan" to move the new lights and old camera back into Nuke for final composite. and it all worked!
Not a perfect comp, but the hours spent has been focused on learning the program and not making a hole lot of nitty-gritt on the short clip :)

Virtual sets
29 dec -10, 22.32
On a recent job I got in contact with the concept of virtual sets. So I started playing around in Cinema 4D to see what I could come up with. The choise of blue and yellow comes from the company colors of the client in question. I made this set to a fully customisable After Effects project with prerendered background in three layers of depth, and a virtual camera for maximum framing possibility and adjustible depth of field.
All the screens are in seperate comps and you can change the colors of the blue and yellow stripes directly in After Effects.
The siluette shapes of the man is comps where you can put your own keyed material in and it automaticly updates in the final render comp. There is a preset for lightwraping included for better result in blending the keyed material with the Virtual set.
Currently I'm looking in to selling this kind of background projects. Must look for places on-line where you can upload and charge for downloading.

Dyret
24 sep -10, 13.10
A couple of weeks ago I've finished with the special effects for 'Dyret' (the new title for 'the Beast'. It's danish for 'The Animal')27 fx shots in four weeks. Many different things have been done. I've used After Effects for compositing. There's been wireremoval, mattepainting and sky replacement and set extensions and a lot of rotoscoping.
We shot the movie on RED Camera @ 3K so I've learned alot about that workflow and it's been hillariously fun :)
Hopefully we can get the film to Cannes next year, so you have to wait patiently for the premiere...

First early steps towards a funny childrens program. Our focus was mainly on the form, the visual and technical concept, the music and starting to outline the hosts.
It was a collaboration with Mads Geertsen, Brian Lykke, me and Made in Valby.
My work was post production in After effects where 5 out of the ten days was editing the musicvideo "Onkel Rejes sang" at 4.00. You can watch the finished version of the music video comes under the music videos tab at the top of this page.
I know the quality of the keying is not so good. Unfortunately we had some greenish props in the greenscreen and we also had to work with very limited resources and bad lighting, but I hope you can enjoy it for what it is.
The Beast - update
29 aug -09, 13.51
Har precis blivit färdig med min del av utvecklingsfasen av filmen. Är personligen väldigt nöjd med resultatet och hoppas att resten av ansökningen går bra så vi får finansieringen av hela filmen under hösten...Inspelningarna gick bra och katten var förvånansvärt enkel att jobba med. Producenten Jonas Bagger hade styrt upp inspelningar ute i en av filmbyns studior. Fotograf var Sophie Winqvist. Vi filmade med Canon EOS 5D MKII vilket har fungerat helt ok. Den skjuter i full HD och ger fantastiska möjligheter att, för en billig penning, filma med riktigt bra objektiv. Men dess H.264 Codec saknar ett helt tillfredställande färgdjup.
Postproduktionen har varit spännande. Först arbetade jag och Malene tillsammans med ett fåtal nyckelbilder i filmen, för att finna fram till en visualitet som hon önskade. Sedan har varje bild i filmen bearbetats av mig i After Effects.
Arbetet har bestått av väldigt många olika saker inom CGI och compositing. Som att lägga till element som rök, partiklar och bakgrunder. lyfta fram detaljer som ögonen på katten, fönster, dörrar och djur i landskapet. keying, colorgrading, tracking, rotoscoping.
