SVT 50 year, HD startup

The Swedish televsion SVT make a birthday as 50 years, me and Korven was making content, planning how to make all in HD, seen i HD live and the broadcast as well. The only thing that was not in HD was the plasma screens on the stage, since they was to old and need to bee feeded with composit signal to not flicker in the new HD cameras, the LD Sundin and Mr.Jönsson was also finding out that HD needs more lights....and the closeups needs to be not so close....

Fotbollsgalan 2006

Soms stuff for the artists and the show,  Take That and Orup and Melody Club

Nobel Price 2005

A set up with a wish for projections on the roof, and that´s a football area that has to be covered with invisible projectors, goosh!!! We made it after some ground thinking and hours of tweaked content!! Per Sundin as Ld, Ola Melzig as the loud PM! Also on the picture is Lovely Joan and Lotta! We are well dressed up here as you se!!

ESC Ukraine 2005

Mamma Mia! The worst time ever, in a country I have no plan to visit any more.

Still we made this working out, but for a price that still make me suffer.

A very robust followspot was on the arena, a really Vladmor Thrower

No more to say here!

ESC Turkey 2004

Ooops!  The Catalyst forest was born for the 50m wide backprojection and also our way to handle files to 16 mediaservers. All the huge clips we had to split into "normal" sizes was a lot! We had to make the 7800x 800 pixels all the renders, BUT this time I have my very talanted  Lennart "Korven" Wåhlin at the place so we made it....

Per Sundin as the LD, Bullen as the operator for the Catalyst´s, Emma and Danne also as the lightpushers...

Memories is all the kebab (that I never had eaten after this )

MF 2004

Masen´s great design. And all this LED into the trusses.....

ESC Latvia 2003

Only me, 2 G4 and a 22" screen.....and a lot of work!

But the catering had several choices between " pork,chicken or soup", everyday.....

A 3 week session with nice friends as: Per Sundin, Pontus"Bullen" Lagerbielke, Emma Landare and Danne Persson.

A standard setting was born, the LED floor that made turkey the winners that year

ESC Tallin 2002

The show Lighting Designer Per Sundin designed special gobos called "ShaaRock" which were made by Beacon AB in Sweden., That was the thing about ESC,my tribute to this event only, but the Catalyst was in version 1.0 hopefully....

Polar Prize 2001

I did graphic material for a big screen for the "master" Stockhausen, the father of electronic music. As the others, Robert Moog and Burt Bacharach had some 5 minutes performance, Stockhausen had a almost 15 minutes long piece ( live broadcast!) with his "Gesang der junglinge"

that I had to make as good as I could to illustrate the music.....not a piece of cake, since he was very hard in his opinion about what is good and what is crap.....I did make it!

Tabula Rasa Theatre 2000

Tabula Rasa theatre with Profilteatern. First time with projections mixed with gobos.Hardwork with my brother Michael and we even had a projector on a wire for special effects.

The "pre-Historic commercials" we did was also fun!!!

MillenniumParty 2000 Stockholm

Millennium party at Stockholm Old Town, paid by Stenbeck the media mogul.I was in charge of the graphics for the stage and content for countdowns, yes, that has to be exact in milliseconds...

This with U2´s enormous old "LED" wall, an enormous big thing and not really easy to make working, (on the picture you are at the crowd, the screen is placed about 400m from this point ) and shitcold in Stockholm and I made the graphics going on for the evening, Stuff for the act´s Tribute to ABBA and Europe ( Final Countdown of course and Bullen was happy to work with them again) to the countdown on the big screen mixed with the live broadcast from Skansen.

It was a really challenge to get this work.

We all got afterwards a diploma and a certificate to NOT be hired for any millenium party again,

the producers way to thank us for the job ( I hope)

Seal promotion gigs Exit

This was a great guy, friendly and gentle, I was expecting a diva, and was proven wrong....
He took my newborn child Hannah, just some month in his arms and showed his best side...
I was sound engineer on this promotions gigs, and we tested the new in-ear monitor systems secretly at that time...

Tommy Körberg Tour

Great guys, nice time...Tommy, Stefan, André, Mats and Teddy.....

Robert " Robban" Broberg

Some great and fun gigs with a very great artist /person, for some smaller events, as sound and light op, these small shows was a mental kick for all, including me and that was also a very special person to meet and  we had some great chat about life and other stuff in his blue house just in private that time.

He was one of the cornerstone in my life to have met and known a bit.....even since it was a short period.

If you not are swedish born, it is maybe hard to understand and also heard about, but in swedish hearts he was something really special

Kikki Danielsson & Roosarna

This dance band was so great people, not my kind of music but the friendly and great persons in that band was a great
experience for me, me longhaired hippie, them as mothers boys....nothing could go wrong..yes?

This is actually the firs persons I missed after a 8-9 month of touring, I do really respect honest people in the business,
and this bunch was great!
