Summary

Currently looking for new job opportunities.

I love working on environments, and have started to learn Houdini because of it.
To keep myself busy I try to make practical examples of what I learn by creating map mods for Farming Simulator, whereas I also create custom tools if I need to.

I previously worked extensively with color correction and grading on hundreds of reality TV episodes ("Norwegian Idol", "Norway's got Talent", "Dancing with the Stars", house and lifestyle shows, car shows, etc), X-Games Norway, music videos, short films and award-winning documentaries for about 10 years.

I am also open for color grading jobs.
