AVICII – Invector

Position: Project manager / Senior animator at Hello There.

Originally released 2017 for Playstation 4, the game is a collaboration between Hello There Games and the late Tim Bergling. After his passing, an effort was made to fine-tune the game, add new content and release it on additional platforms.

I took over the role as a project manager, handling planning, scoping, evaluation on a daily basis. The team at Hello There Games really delivered on this title both in quality and content. To watch the game finally getting the proper release it deserves and sees the amount of love and attention from the gaming community brings tears to my eye. I hope that our efforts live up to the dream that Hello There Games and Tim started over four years ago.

Available for PC, PS4 and Xbox One with Nintendo Switch releasing some time during 2020

Invector – feat. Avicii

Position: Senior animator at Hello There.

A fully fledge console music experience featuring music from EDM star Avicii.

An incredibly beautiful game, like being in the crowd on a massive EDM set but in the comfort from your very own living room. I was charged with editing all the various trailers and teaser for this production as well as rigging and animating the avatar ship. I also worke on the cutscenes that act as a progression for the player as he or she unlocks new songs and worlds.

She Wants Me Dead

Position: Senior animator at Hello There.

This is a music-rythm-platformer-game produced for the Swedish House duo Cazzette. As a player you need to make sure the Max (the owner) gets through each level of deadly traps laid out by Luna (the pet). My part in this production was to produce numerous trailers for all the major social networks.

Kung Fury – Street Rage

Position: Senior animator at Hello There.

This project is a true underdog story. Funded by a kickstarter campaign the film was released on may 28th 2015. A tribute to the 80s and its over the top action movies. Hello There got the contract to a retro looking arcade game to be released on every major platform. I worked on the arcade game creating animations and game art and it was a blast to see everything come together in the final product.

Another big task for me was to create the lyrics video featuring True Survivor sung by David Hasselhoff and the release trailer for the game. A fellow artist created a tool and custom artwork so I could direct and record most of the video from inside the game capturing the true essence of the game. On other more contemporary projects you might need to tone down certain effects in order to make the trailers more pleasant to the viewer. On this project however it was more like “Push it a little further, make it more VHS. Make it more 80s”. Always fun to be able to go bananas in the post production department…
