We had the first screening of the film outside the editing room yesterday, at Blått Lerret – a regular “behind the scenes” event for the film industry in Oslo. Very exciting! Great response! Looking forward to getting it into the festival loop.

First big screen viewing today
May 26, 2009From the Mac display to the cinema screen. A moment of anxiety. Would the film survive the transition? Would we? Dancing pixels and suicide notes? No way! It looked pretty damn good, too be honest, praise to the animators. Heading for sound mix. Will also try to cut a teaser in the not to distant future and post it here.

Animation completed!
May 25, 2009Animation was completed today, just minor tweaks and we got ourselves a film! Music is also 90% finished, ready for sound mix this week.

More new stills!

May 8, 2009Here you will find news, preview stills and trailers from our animated short film Shhh! which is currently in production.
The film is based on the award winning Norwegian cartoon artist Jason’s (aka John Arne Sæterøy) graphic novel with the same title, or more precisely the first part of the book.
Shhh! is produced by Hans Bastian Borg at Graceland Film Company AS and directed by Robert Næss (that’s me). Animation is done by Lyder Janøy and Aasmund Janøy at Animidas animation studio – both companies based in Oslo, Norway. The production is financed by The Norwegian Film Institute.

Some screenshots
May 8, 2009Still very much a work in progess, but gives you a pretty good idea of how it will look.
Here, Arne, our main character is chilling out in his bachelor’s pad. Not too happy though:

This one is from one of the the spooky parts of the film, Arne’s girlfriend really shouldn’t open the door to this bird…
