Tango Caramba

My first film was made in 1992, while working at NRK as a graphic designer. I was granted the use of the 35 mm Crass camera and some space for drawing during 3 months time by my leaders. The film was made in classical animation, but in a rationalized way. The story was customized for the limited time. Everything was very intuitive from the start, it just came about and the whole film was animated during these three months. Eventually, with the help from some colleagues, the sounds & the music was there and the film had premiere at the Int. Short Film Festival in Grimstad right away. Tango Caramba was shown in a lot of festivals in different countries. It was also screened in the Oslo cinemas, NRK sent it many times (a NRK production it was, somehow), and it was bought by some other tv stations as well.

You can watch the film here, indeed the quality is very bad.
