Sweden looks the same, but

I must say the colors and the smell is a lot more vibrant now then it was when i left. I guess time away makes you notice everything just that much more!
Sweden is fantastic, but i really feel I have two homes now, LA is pretty amazing to I have to say :))

here is some pic to put color to my words :)

think I just finished my first film :))

Well i finish my last shot today, but in all honesty I think there will be stuff left to do when I come back from my vacation in Sweden.
YES,,, I'm heading home for two weeks... cant wait, hate flying but getting to my family is making that totally doable :))

MegaMan is rocking, it looks amazing, I'm so grateful that I have had the opportunity to play with all the awesome animators, directors, CFX dudes, Render pirates, production folks and everyone else i forgot to mention......Dreamworks are truly awesome.

oki, must get packing.....two weeks...hmm that would be like a pair of underwear and enough cloths to keep me out of jail:))

cheers dudes

RSA Animate - Drive: The surprising truth about what motivates us

first famous people encounter

Had my first famouse people encounter last week.
We where sitting looking at a MegaMind screening and i suddenly saw this dude sitting just in front of me..


He looked strangely human, sitting there :)))
It looked like he enjoyed the show, he is doing the voice of MegaMind so him being there is perhaps not a surprise but I got a bit starstruck.

The MegaMind movie is looking better and better but there is still much to do and the last month i think is going to be busy to say the least :)

cheers

MoCap is not animation !!

at least if you take the academy's word for it..

hats of to pixar

Yes I admit it, I was wrong....Toy Story 3 made a bundle of money.....haven't seen the flick yet but people tell me that its fantastic..
"Despicable me" is doing really good, and it should...it looks awesome...haven't seen that either....hmm...man since I started working on films I don't watch them anymore....weird!! :)
Same thing happen when I went working on Games..hmm..I guess line cooks wont run home to make a omelette either :)))

Just finishing of animation on MegaMind it's weird....cant wait to get to the theater and see my name in the credits...yes its a bit immature, but for those who knows me, maturity has never been my strong side :))

Hopefully I will get my vacation approved and then I'm off to Sweden for a couple of weeks, so to all the dudes and dudetts, put your "bar-Faces" on cause I'm plan to hit the bars with great commitment:))

cheers

Technology is like looking in a mirror..

STEPHEN FRY: WHAT I WISH I'D KNOWN WHEN I WAS 18 from Peter Samuelson on Vimeo.

Love this...

I think its just awesome how they made this feel as cool as it is....good stuff..

All alone !!!!

Yes the title sounds dramatic, and it sure feels it :)
Just a couple of hour's ago I left my family at LAX. They are going home to Sweden for 8 weeks.... its crazy....I mean you chase the kids all day, screaming about this and that, then you are to tired to talk to your fantastic lovely wife and whoops suddenly they are gone and you cry like a baby.......I guess its all part in the "you got kids, and now clue" plan......:) I just would love to see and feel all these fantastic things when they are actually here :)) On that subject, here is where they are right as I'm writing :)

hopefully I will join them for the last couple of weeks, IF I get my vacation approved..:)


Okay I was wrong!!!
Toy story made more than 85million....actually a lot more, and people tell me that its fantastic, I guess I just have to add to that 109million open weekend and go see it .)))
Hats off to ya dudes at Pixar, but I will say this.....How to train a dragon will win an Oscar,....for sure.
