It’s official! The illusionist will be released on June 16th at the Edinburgh film festival. I worked on many of the exterior backgrounds of Edinburgh and the scottish highlands and did some paintings for the film as well. Check out the (rather nice) official website for the film at www.lillusionniste-lefilm.com for more images and video clips from the film.

Here’s a crisp HD quicktime trailer of the film.

I have something to blog about!

My buddies over at STUDIO GIBLETS in London have been working hard on this little AFX trip! Check out ‘Strange Enough’ below!

The annual zombiewalk took place in Bristol yesterday. There were hundreds walking from the town centre and descending upon Stokes Croft where I live. I had my camera and took some snaps. Here are a few. Check out the whole set on flickr

Small update.

Since no one seems to be able to spell my name correctly, you can now get here by using the much easier and convenient http://www.bjornsblog.com

…I paid 7 quid for that.

Also, as you might have noticed, I shall no longer refer to this as a ‘portfolio with a blog’, but rather as a blogfolio™©®.

Hope you enjoyed that. Thanks to Sam and James for being the test subjects of my new camera investment this weekend. Some brilliant unintentional acting in those shots. I think I cooked up a good little story from it. If you wish, there’s more photographs of us goofing around on flickr. Oh, and all the music is completely stolen from the brilliant Joanna Newsom.
