Hasta La Motion!

“MER” is inspired by the harsh grasp of consumerism, and how it can make us blind by greed in the pursuit for material goods. The story is set in a post apocalyptic world, where a group of nomads collect the remains of a lost society. But as their collection grows bigger, so does their desire for more. All that glitters is not gold. – This video was largely shot on Karmøy, an island located on the west coast of Norway, but also 1883 meters above the ocean on the peak of Gaustatoppen, a vast mountain overlooking 1/6th of the country. The large flying factories were made by Steamheads, an Oslo-based VFX-house known for their work on films like Harry Potter and Elysium, and the rest of the post-production was completed at Hocus Focus in Oslo, one of Norway’s largest post-production companies. – Starring: Fredrik Skogsrud Forrester, Gunnar Dundas, Orleo Berisha Written and directed by Kristoffer Klunk (kristofferklunk.com) Presented by Hocus Focus (hocusfocus.no) DOP: John-Erling Holmenes Fredriksen Focus Puller: Annicken Aasheim Post Production Producer: Lene Albertsen Post Production Producer: Ole-Arild Svendsen Post Production Assistant: Elin Holde Hegsvold VFX Supervisor: Bengt Ove Sannes / Marius Andre Jacobsen (steamheads.no) Colourgrading & compositing: Haavard Albertsen Production Designer: Mirjam Veske Costume Designer: Mari Melilot Production Assistant: Morten Kjennerud Post Production Trainee: Elin Holde Hegsvold Editor: Henrik Berge (Hocus Focus / hocusfocus.no) Ship Design / Animation: Nils Arne Brekke Sound Design: Erik Ljunggren THANKS: Bård Røssevold, Eirik Einarsen Vikene, Hilde Pettersen, Ørjan Baugstø Iversen, Sturla Nyborg, Rover Haugaland scouts, Halvor Haukass (gaustatoppen.no), Espen Zubi (gripservice.no), Runaround film.
