2022

Ragnarok SO3 is back filming in Norway. Head of Stunt, Jacob S. Carlsen from Stunt360, ​asked me to handle and organize the stunt-scenes for Block 2 of filming (Ep 4, 5 and 6). Unable to do all the shooting days myself, I had Otto Tangstad and Bekim Brahimi to coordinate a few days each, and brought stuntdoubles Evert Anton Steen and Maria Hansen for some nice and easy scenes.

​

For TV2's miniseries, Bloodbrothers, I got to double a 14 year old boy on a tiny BMX, cyckling down a spiral staircase on a snowy day (the character does not use a helmet!). For once the stunt was not about falling, but actually managing to stay on the bike all the way down. Had a few rough falls but managed to get the shot on 3rd try. 

​

Another production for the Norwegian Film School - Superdupermegagigasingle Director, Håkon Anton Olavsen, needed 2 stuntdoubles for a skiing scene. Ragnhild Bjørge got to be the slopes mascot, and be run over by myself, dressed up like a ski-tourist. We had a few good impact hits and a fun day at Lillehammer Ski center.

​

2021

This year flew by... but 2021 started off with some fight choreography and coordination for the pilot episode Tsubasa - A TV serie directed by Iain Forbes from the Norwgian Film School, with actors Preben Hodneland and Yngvild Grotmol. 

​

In April I got to do some night- and wirework for the Netflix Original, Blasted (2022), stunt coordinated by Otto Tangstad and directed by my old school mate, Martin Sofiedal. A fun movie with lots of stunts in it. I just love it when a big stunt crew can come together and play. Produced by Miso Film.

​

Another Netflix Original to come out of Norway in 2022, is the movie Troll. Stunt coordinator Deni Jordan got to ensemble a crew of 10 stunt peeps, but we mostly just hung around waiting for our turn (except myself who had to do the same fall over and over again as the overview shot ended up being repeated like 20 times!). Produced by Motion Blur and directed by Roar Uthaug.

​

In December I stunt coordinated a commercial for Wenaas Workwear, with Bekim Brahimi and Evert Anton Steen as stunt actors. A fun little gig! Thanks to producer Guy Haddeland from Tinagent for bringing me on early in the process. Directed by Sigve Aspelund.

First week of December, I got to stunt coordinate several stunts for episode 5 for the Original Norwegian Netflix series "Post Mortem - No one dies in Skarnes", where brought with me stunt doubles Knut-Erik Helland Barland, Simen Lindhagen and Linn Solem. For safety and extra manpower, I also had Tyrone Wiggins by my side. After rehearsal days and testing, I was very pleased with the results and the stunt team performances during filming. Produced by Motion Blur for Netflix and directed by Petter Holmsen.

​

For the production Plan B, I got to stunt double an 80 year-old lady who gets hit by a car.
As always, stunts are calculated risks, but in this particular situation, the margins of elements where small, but luckily on my side, so walked out of it without any scratch. Kudos to
stunt coordinator Kai Kolstad Rødseth and stunt driver Stian Kirsebom Andersen.

At the end of October, I was back in Odda, Norway, together with on-set stunt coordinator, Otto Tangstad for a moped-stunt a.k.a "knallert", as they call it in Denmark.

Due to Covid-19 and the world-wide lockdown, Stunt Norway had to adapt to the new situation and find other ways to be relevant. Luckly, we were given the challenge to be innovative by the National Film School in Lillehammer,  by setting up a 3-day webinar course in Stunt & Action. The graduating students of the Director of Photography class, got an insight and learning in how to plan and conduct stunt-and action sequences for the silver screen, from pre-production to post-production. Thanks to Uffe Mulvad for pulling the strings!

Check out the photos in my Instagram feed.

Together with Jacob in Stunt360 - Stunt Services Int. I tried out the naked burn gel "FireSkin360". A new stuntgel that doesn't require Carbon nor Nomax clothing underneath to be safe. The burn and flames are directly on your skin, only protected by this super clear gel.

For the new hit single "Rookie Mistakes", by the Norwegian band Briskeby, I was called in to stunt-double the lead singer Lise Karlsnes, on several high-speed action scenes on top of a moving (and quite expensive) Jaguar. Director Shaun Higton is going beyond the normal music-video genre and taking it all to a higher level. 

The band members and the production crew from Kandidat was a pleasure to work with.
