These days, I'm not even trying to contact producers. Instead I'm thinking a lot about how I want to make movies in the future. How to make, produce and distribute them to turn them into something I would myself go to the cinema and watch. I'm not there yet, I need to plot and plan.

wednesday september 22 2010

I've contacted several producers but I don't get any replies. All I can do is find more producers, otherwise my little film is on the slow burner.

wednesday september 1 2010

I've contacted yet another producer but no answer so far, other than that she's received my e-mail. Things are slow!

thursday august 19 2010



I'm back! Kinda.

I've been wanting to make at least one more picture portraying how a running building becomes a shooting star. So that's one of the things that/what I've been doing today.

In the midst of this I start messing with colour again! When I thought black and white was a firm decision. Is it out of curiosity or am I looking to prolong this process?

I've e-mailed a producer since my return home from my holidays, with no reply. When I'm certain this picture is done, I'll e-mail again.

I hope you've had - well, are still having - a great summer!

thursday july 15 2010

I take a holiday break from What Was Once, both the film and the blog.
I will be back in August, as soon as I have some new developments to report. I will announce my return at EllaSkerries too.

Have a lovely summer!

friday july 9 2010

I've heard from the production companies I contacted. One is much too busy but loved the project, one wants to get back at the end of summer. Let's keep our fingers crossed and enjoy our summer.

wednesday june 30 2010

Today my PDF introducing What Was Once was finally e-mailed away. It's in the midst of summer and holidays, so let's see if something will happen.

The PDF is in Swedish, but I post it here, in case of curiousity.







Don't be afraid to click to enlarge.

saturday june 26 2010

Editing my presentation, hopefully it should be ready for review any moment now.

tuesday june 22 2010

Finally working on my presentation that I'll show other producers to see if I can tempt them. I've been postponing it, unfortunately, but now it's happening.

thursday june 17 2010





I don't seem able to get the titles right. Godamnit.
This is what they looks like right now.

wednesday june 9 2010


So far, this is what the woman sees looking our her window:

I'm not entirely certain this is the final design, but for now it is.

On to the titles, so I can put together my informative little pamphlet to lure money people and producers alike into my sticky web of yarn.

tuesday june 8 2010

Drawing a new man and composing an image of him surrounded by the running buildings and shooting stars, looking back at the house with the woman and the demons. Not quite finished yet, and no full day.

So far it looks a bit crowded and messy... Hm.

monday june 7 2010

Drawing different elements for my presentation material. Not a full day.

friday june 4 2010

There has been a lot of silence about my producer simply because there has been a lot of silence from him. Now I've received a letter where he states that he has taken on too much work and will now go on holidays, that we can get in touch in the middle of July and then see where we're standing.

This leaves for decisions and possibilities. I have some thinking to do.

thursday june 3 2010

Drawing a little before work. No time to scan though

wednesday june 2 2010

Drawing on a new ground for the boy to stand on, but the weather is too good and I run off!

monday may 31 2010



I've made a sketch for what the main character sees looking out her window, using what bits and pieces I already have made. It doesn't feel as strong as the first yet, but there you are, a first step.

Also I'm toying around with the title and the clouds I've made.

And since a few days back I'm contemplating converting some of the designs into postcards and try to sell them, for fun, to celebrate the work I've put into them and as a little way to highlight my film. Could be fun!

wednesday may 26 2010


Making small alterations that I've been longing to do since I published this image here. No hands on top of hands, and more feathers in the background. Little things that bug me.

Now it's time to move on to the second part of the image. If I have these two images done - looking out the window and what they see from the window - and a good logo, I feel that together with the character designs I have a good visual material for an application.

The application was supposed to be handed in a month ago but I haven't heard anything from my producer. From what others tell me I gather he's taken on too much work. Hmmm.

tuesday may 25 2010




Today I've been trying to incorporate the title of the movie into the imagery. I'm still not quite sure how I'll do it, combining action and movement with clear graphics isn't all easy. I have ideas of nighttime, stars becoming the title and then shooting stars, the rays of the sun and the main characters waking up....

In my imagination it's great, in what so far exists of such a reality is more or less messy.

monday may 24 2010

Finishing the drawing of my clouds, but there's no time to scan it or fix with it.
