I’ve been a bit passive on my Flickr, but since I recently switched from Photoshop to Aperture I must say it has given me a great love for Flickr! Now it’s really simple to upload, create sets and I really need simplicity to function.

Today I made a large update on Flickr and will keep doing so. Another love I have for Flickr is the possibility to follow people’s photostreams. I can’t imagine a better way to subscribe to inspiration. So to stay updated with my photostream, here’s the rss-feed: http://ow.ly/1cHvR

Waiting for Zlatan. In the summer of 2009 Zlatan Ibrahimovic arived at Camp Nou, to play for one of the worlds greatest football teams, FC Barcelona. Here are some of the pictures from the day at Camp Nou.

What started as a folk fest soon escalated into a riot.

One thing that fascinated me is the joy that was in the arena. It was a riot, but in the nicest way. Kids and adults was all storming the field together.

The first 3-4 persons that stormed the field was actually about 10-12 years old. When the adults saw that the guards didn’t kill them, they also dared to get on the field.

About a month ago a did four behind-the-scenes movies for Wreck Creative Studios (www.wreck.se). The were making four commercials for the MTV and Nordea campaign called Check-IN. What they needed was someone to create four short documentaries about those commercials in the making.

Well, here they are. Password is “mtv”:

We recently opened up our Facebook page for Maud & Leo. It’s the first step towards spreading the movie across the Internet. We’ve licensed the movie as a Creative Common. Which mean that we will be spreading it for free all over the place. Our wish is that everybody who like the movie will be spreading the movie to their dear friends and lovers.

All download links are available on our Facebook page.

Today we open the doors to our Facebook page for Maud & Leo. We have been developing the page for some time now, it’s a great way for us to share a little bit more than just the movie.

On the 28:e of January we’re going to be pre-screening Maud & Leo at Hot Spot, a venue for young filmmakers in Stockholm. It’s a nice opportunity to screen the movie for a young audience which aren’t the obvious audience for the movie.

We’re working at releasing the movie for real in the first quarter of 2010. There’s a couple of really interesting distribution opportunities that we’re going to try out for this film. If all goes well we will probably be using ourselfs of this way of distributing on future projects.

2010 has started with a bang as I started the year by doing a campaign for MTV and Nordea. As soon as I got back to Stockholm from the beautiful northern Sweden I had 13h shooting-day at MTV in Stockholm. The campaign will be coming out soon and I will be posting it here.

Now I’m all up in two documentary projects. This weekend I’m off to do some more interview’s with Lena, a former drug addict that I’m doing an animated documentary about. The story is starting to take form, and during the spring I should have my first edit of the movie. Read more about the project here: http://blog.vonwallstrom.com/?p=485

Exciting times! We are working hard on the release of Maud & Leo. I recently registered the film for a Creative Commons license, which mean that we will be distributing the movie freely on the Internet.

Since it’s an independent production that we own the total rights of, it’s really a perfect chance to try new ways of distributing our movies. With that said we won’t forget about the traditional ways of watching movies. It will be distributed through theater, mobile devices, DVD and the Internet for download and streaming.

Today I got the mobile streaming to work for the iPhone, the stream is based on a h.264 codec so a lot of devices should work with it. It looks great! The movie is 26 minutes so it’s not the kind of movie you put on while traveling two stops on the metro, but still I think it will be a great platform for viewing the movie. It will be available both as Podcast and as a Quicktime-stream.

We’re also going to try out some new ways of marketing and financing. Today I got a text messaging feature to work that we will be using for swedish viewers, they will be able to make donations with their mobile phones. Other ways to donate will be Paypal and swedish Bankgiro, these are the ones that we feel is simple enough for viewers to want to use.

As for the cinema we’re working on a few cities to screen the movie in. We’re hoping to be able to screen it in a couple of selected cities in Sweden and some abroad. More news to come in the future…
