Livet. Kollektivet. (We’ve been communing for years.)

By Astrid Askberger, 2017, 3 minutes.

It all started when Astrid was going to move to Göteborg. A first-hand lease in an apartment district turns into a hub for 13 years of life. Many people have lived and slept here. Love has bloomed and life has been changed. Simple, private and universal!

The film premièred during Gothenburg Film Festival 2017

 

My work on the film:

The film is made out of a collection of photographs, presented as a slide show.
My work on the film was to clean up all those old photographs, then I made the colour correction.
I also made the poster (see beside).

Greta's Guide To The Galaxy

By Astrid Askberger, 2016, 73 minutes, Feature Film.

Greta has escaped her family and moved across the US. She is living in an open relationship with "the love of her life" Matt. We are following Greta for 15 years in a personal story about change, reconciliation and the struggle to live your life as freely as possible.

the film was premièred during Gothenburg Film Festival 2016.

 

My work on the film

I've been working forever on the post-production of this film by Astrid Askberger.
Since the film was recorded over 14 years, it uses video sources from easily 10 different cameras of many different kinds: from DV, HDV, h264 formats, even VHS. interlaced or not. It was a real challenge to give a unity to all those clips.

I did the colour correction with Davinci Resolve, fixed a lot of clips with After Effects. I did the graphics and designed the chapters titles animations.
I also did the poster (beside).

Light Leaks

The chapter titles are assemblages of light reflections, lens optical aberrations, and other natural glitches that come from prisms or so.

Yr Txt here!

A friend recently showed me a picture on the net, asking if I could do the same.
Here's my animated interpretation of this 80's picture.

Lys

directed by Jesper Brodersen,2015, 58 min.

Lys is a mocumentary about the valley of Hessdalen in Norway where mysterious light phenomenons have been observed.

 

My work on the film:

For this film, all the interviews were made with the camera attached to the ceiling, with a fish-eye lens, to give the impression that they were done from above.
My role consisted of recreating the lights taking on the perspective of the phenomenon itself, using shots created by a drone and the interviews.

GRAVITY

Gravity is a series of short animations made for Luftburen, a performance on the theme of weightlessness. The animations were made in collaboration with artist Anna Liljedal and address the concept of gravity. The series presents a chronological summary of what people have considered as reasons for the very mundane experience of stuff falling to the ground, in four animations. An exploration is made from the main theory in ancient Greece to quantum mechanics. We wanted to emphasize how fundamental and closely linked these theories are to our experience of the universe, Whilst also reflecting on the absurdity of each theory.
