Produced in Finland in 1996 by Peter Morse and Beate Daniel.

This was basically the video on which I taught myself computer animation (Infini-D); digital editing and alpha-channels (Premiere on Avid); Director (2D animation.)

Beate did the Photoshop work, produced Director animations and we had lots of fun shooting in Finnish supermarkets.

The Viking is played by Kjartan Einarson.

Music: Kaari Kuuva "Tango Pelargonia."

To put this into historical context: this was produced at standard PAL definition. At the beginning of the final render Premiere said "estimated completion time 1 year, 6 months, 3 days, 4 hours, 6 minutes" - something along those lines. As it was it took 48hrs to render. Bizarre.

Amazingly enough it showed at the Goethe Institute in Helsinki.

Good fun & thanks to everyone at the Svenska Konstskolan who helped - pleasant memories of those days...Albert, Tommi & Hannah, Peter R, Kjartan and others.
