'Nissan Quon' - Storm Productions - 2007
	Pic1: Compositing Pic2: Compositing Pic3: Compositing Personal comments: In these shots I primarily did compositing. But I also did extra 3d passes for better integration. The truck is 3d!

	Pic1: Lighting/Shading/Compositing Pic2: Lighting/Shading/Compositing Pic3: Lighting/Shading/Compositing Personal comments: This was one of the first installations in the world using the hologram like Free Format. Seeing this in real life was really cool!

'LEGO Racers' - Ghost Aps - 2003
	Pic1: Compositing Pic2: Compositing Pic3: Compositing Personal comments: This was a challenging shot to composite because everything was 3D. I think the end result works very well with the rest of the live action shots.
'Tivoli Christmas Movie' - Ghost Aps - 2003
	Pic1: Compositing Pic2: Compositing Pic3: Compositing Personal comments: This was the most complex and tough compositing job I have ever done. I has over one hundred loaders and background nodes. I once used a printscreen of the flow as bump!

	Pic1: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Compositing Pic2: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Pic3: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Compositing Personal comments: A shot from the Space Cadet showreel (pic2) was pretty cool.

	Pic1: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Compositing Pic2: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Compositing Pic3: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Compositing Personal comments: The Deathstar has got to be one of the best models I have done. It's all in the shading though. Took me 9 hours to do the textures. Works great from a distance!

	Pic1: Compositing Pic2: Compositing Pic3: Compositing Personal comments: Pics 2 & 3 (Bertil) I think ended being a pretty good commercial. For whatever sense it makes to have a man inside a cream cheese.

	Pic1: Lighting/Shading/Compositing Pic2: Compositing Pic3: Particles/Lighting/Shading/Compositing Personal comments: Just another brick in the wall...

The packshot (pic3) ended up being very nice I think. Works very well with the sound in the tv commercial. A tip of the hat to the movie Metropolis.
'Star Trek Voyager: Borg Invasion 4D' - Threshold Digital Research Labs - 2003
	Pic1: Lighting/Shading Pic2: Lighting/Shading Pic3: Lighting/Shading Personal comments: This is the only shot I haven't seenthe finished version of. That is because the only two places where you can see this ride is in Las Vegas and Bremen. This was my first 2k shot.

	Pic1: Lighting/Shading/Compositing Pic2: Lighting/Shading/Compositing Pic3: Lighting/Shading/Compositing Personal comments: The spiderwebs don't look like much but they were very heavy to render! The second pic, christened "The Morten Frost" shot, has been used in Alias' latest showreel!

	Pic1: Set Modeling/Compositing Pic2: Set Modeling/Compositing Pic3: Set Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Compositing Personal comments: The shot with all the Hordikas (pic1) were really tough to work with, also in comp! I thougt pic2 turned out really good.

	Pic1: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Pic2: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Pic3: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Personal comments: This is a model of a spacefighter I did a test with. Mainly to see wether you could have a fairly high quality look at fast render times using baked occlusion. I think it works nice. Modeled in Max!
NOW Music 1, 3 & 4' - Ghost Aps - 2002-2003
	Pic1: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Pic2: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Pic3: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Personal comments: NOW Music 1 is my favourite of the bunch. I thought working with gold, silver and a bronze like material could make out for an excellent start on a long line of compilations.
'NOW Dance 1 & 2' - Ghost Aps - 2002-2003
	Pic1: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Pic2: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Pic3: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Personal comments: I pretty much like the environment in the these two shots. Those 'tubes' in the background looks like Danish licorice known as "Moppedrenge"!

	Pic1: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Pic2: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Pic3: Modeling/Lighting/Shading/Animation/Compositing Personal comments: A little silly if you ask me but fun to do. The moving lines were done with animated texture projections.
