What´s new?

A long time since my last update. A LOT of things going on at Ramedus, I’ll run you through the projects, first the web stuff, then the photo stuff and lastly the video stuff.

WEB

(sneak peak of the Apollo layout)

1. Together with my intern Jens Klemets I’m doing a website for Apollo Mobile which is a London-based company that has developed a cutting-edge mobile content management platform called RE4CTOR. The layout is done and we are building the site with wordpress at the moment. It will be launched in about a week so I’ll post a link when that happens!

2. Last weekend I got a call from Macke Granfors who is one of the guitarrists in the Vaasa pop/rock band Daisy Jack. He said that they were in urgent need of a new website and asked me if I could fix one a.s.a.p. I gladly accepted the job and the website should be done in about 4 days or so. I have to say that it’s one of my best looking web designs so far, so keep your eyes open for the web release!

3. I’m also building a website for the Pietarsaari-based company Easthill Traiding. The company sells Western, American and cowboy articles. The owner of the company also happens to be my godfather.

PHOTOGRAPHY

1. Me and my partner in crime Tage Rönnqvist got a photo gig for “Fortbildningscentrum Prakticum” which is a vocational school in Helsinki. We’re going to shoot some promotional photos for their “grown-up educations” (don’t know what to call it) that will be used in their marketing and for the web. Two days of shooting, one next Tuesday and one in May. Alot of differet programs which means a lot of shots, but I’m sure that it will be alot of fun!

2. Today my friend and colleague Anders Lönnfeldt had a photoshoot with singer/songwriter Frida Andersson att Milliklubi in Helsinki. He asked me if I wanted to be his assistent during the shoot and I gladly accepted. I also managed to get a few shots of both Frida and Anders, check them out!

VIDEO

1. The music video duo Tage and Rasmus will shoot a second video for the Turku band The Cajunga with the help of our great team Anders Lönnfeldt, Magnus Wikström and Sara Dahlback. The script is great and I’m really looking forward to this project! Tomorrow Joel and Oskar from the band will visit Helsinki to come and finish the design for their new single and we’ll also have a video meeting to check that everything is OK! The video will be shot the 2nd and 3rd of May in Helsinki and Pojo.

2. It is now official that Tage and Rasmus will shoot a music video for singer/songwriter Fredrik Furu in the middle of May. Fredrik will do a duett with a secret guest star and there is not much that I can say about the video at the moment, but one thing I can tell you.. this video is going to be EPIC!

That’s about it for now! Stay tuned!

Projects at Ramedus

A lot of things going on at Ramedus!

First off. My friend Jens came to me and asked if I could help him with an intro for a documentary about “faith” that he was doing in After Effects. I showed him a few tricks and then he was ready to finnish the intro. The photographer of the documentary Magnus also came over to see that everything looked ok. Here is a pic of Magnus and Jens working at the Ramedus office.

I just finished the poster and tickets for the concert with Thoby Loth and Jeppo Ungdomsorkester. They turned out really good and I’m going to Ostrobothia and shoot both of the concerts in Pietarsaari (13.3) and in Vaasa (14.3). Really looking forward to the concerts, I’ve followed the band since the beginning and they have a couple of new songs that I haven’t  heard before.

I’m also working on their new website at the moment and I hope that it will be ready by the end of next week. A huge facelift for the website. I did the original web-layout a couple of years ago and I thought it looked great, but now I just want to vomit when I see it. But hopefully the new website will look fresh for a couple of years to come.

Another thing that I’m working on is a new graphic profile for DUNK – De Ungas Musikförbund i Finland r.f. That includes: Logo, website, document base, posters and stuff like that. I’ve just started with this project and I hope that they will be satisfied with my work.

But what about the video projects you ask?

My friend Jonas Klemets asked me if I wanted to do a presentation video of him. Jonas is one of the top 10 drifters in the country and wanted the video to continue searching for sponsorship. And what is driftning? Well let me google that for you:

“Drifting refers to a driving technique and to a motorsport where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels through turns, while maintaining vehicle control and a high exit speed.“

I’ve done a interview with him and he has sent me some of his own video material from different competitions the last years. So it’s just the editing left!

This summer I will also do a video “Top Gear style” with him and his team Drift Garage. If the video barely resembles the ones of Top Gear I will be very pleased!

And then we have the next music video project!

The music video duo Tage Rönnqvist and Rasmus Tåg will shoot a video for the Doom-metal band Coredust. I’ve never done anything with music like this and I’m very excited about it. The video shoot will happen 21.3 and we have put together a great crew. We have a basic idea of what we want to do with the video but a lot of planning is yet to be done. Hopefully we will have everything sorted out by the 21st of March.

That’s about it.

One other thing. Today I´m going to shoot some portraits of Oy Botta Abs board of directors for their annual report. I will also make the cover for the same report.

One last thing. Have you seen this commercial? Simply brilliant! Although I don’t enjoy the scent of Old Spice I really enjoy their manly commercials.
