Tuborg Summer Commercial and Exodus Storyboards

Hey hey!! I boarded the Tuborg Sommer Commercial!

The cameras was largely decided by the client, so the backgrounds and acting of the girl and butterflies is my primary contribution.

Next is a sample for the project I was an intern at:

This is an extract from the storyboard I did for the pilot episode of Exodus. In this scene the older brother Jacob have been promoted to a very high military rank. At the same time his little brother Ellias has failed his test to join the elite forces - despite that it seemed that he did an excellent test.

Graduation Film is out!

Our Bachelor film, "Under the Fold has been released!

It was a film we did at our third year in at the Animation Workshop. We are very proud of it! I was on the wonderful team of Bo Juhl, Sara Mai Olsen, Rune Rask, Thomas Vind Mortensen, Stine Fransen and Simon Lee Bresling. I worked on the story, as the Storyboard Lead, with the DLO and as an animator. I also did a bit of character design. Much of this can be seen on my "profesional blog." Or check out my "making of," for more eye-goodness:

The release of our film also means that I'm now a Bachelor of Arts in Character Animation! I've took my exam this month, after a half year as an intern at this project at Eyecandy Film in Copenhagen.

Some Shots From "Under the Fold"

This is some of the shots I've animated for our graduation film, "Under the Fold," which is currently in production. It is shot 140 from sequence 2, and shot 030 and 050 from sequence 3.

Animating at "A Dream"

In January and February us animators had a break from our own bachelor films, when we were send to animate on the final short films by the animation directors at the National Filmschool of Denmark. I animated at the short, "En drøm" (A Dream). In the course of eight weeks I made this:

The film is directed by Malte Pedersson, the backgrounds and character designs were made by Flemming Schmidt. Keld Nissen from my class animated the waiter in the first shot, and Ditte Frandsen inbetweened the shots where the woman has entered the taxi and the taxi driver starts the car. It seems to becoming quite a good film, so i recommend keeping your eyes peeled for it when it is due at June.

The Professional

Yes, hah hah! That's me now. Because now I have a so-called "professional" blog, the portfolio of Niels Andersen Dolmer. It's a place where I post only the best of my work, de crème-de-la-crème. So if you've gotten enough of all my crazy ramblings and are just too good for all the dirt on this page, go take a look at the new blog, it's shiny! Ofcourse this blog will keep updating with dirt and rambling.

Some second year and summer stuff..

I've started at the 3rd year of the characther animation education now. It's alot of fun and work now that we're putting all our accumilated knowlegde of story, design and animation into working on bachelor projects in the form of 5 min short films. I'm at the short called "Under the Fold," which will be great!
Anyway, I wanted to post some of the things I did last year, but never got around to post.

This above is from an idea for a bachelor shortfilm I worked on before summer, but decided not to pitch due to the lenght of it. Instead I'm trying to write a short story out of the idea now.

The image above is from a pitch I did after summer, but which wasn't chosen. Oh well, I love the project I'm on now :)


...and some roleplay sketches ofcourse!

This last animation was the one I did as my second year exam. The task was to make a little story about two guys at a bar - one says something to the other, which results in a strong reaction from the other guy. I choose the reaction of paranoia.
This was the backstory I made for the shot:
Rob is working as a scientist at the local secret military base. Due to the pressure from work, he has begun to develop as strange phobic for the number two combined with red. All because of the operation called “red two,” a program to reveal dobbeltagents that have infiltrated their ranks.
After a long week of work, work that because of him have lead to the reveal of several dobbeltagents, he is at the local bar with his friend Dave, relieved.
But then Dave spots two hot women and whispers in Rob’s ear: “See those two in red?”
And Rob thinks, that “they” are there to get him.

Swordmaster the Hobbit

My roleplaying character, Belkar. Or, how he is dreaming of being, the little hobbit!
Tried to be a bit more saturated with the colours than I usually am. (But as I can see from my home computer, the saturation depends more on your screen than my choice of colors when I made the picture!)
