Me.

There is not much to say about me, apart from that I work as a multimedia designer and that I am crazy about restoring bikes and cars. Any shape, any size, number of wheels etc.

I was builing a new house for a few years ago, and was looking for images in order to get ideas, but did not find any. For this reason I have a page with pictures and some text about this project. The house was designed by me, and I did all the planning, procurement and management for the whole project. The house was erected by a friend of mine, Byggmester Tangvold, and even if we had various trades as electricians and pipefitters we basically did build this house the two of us. Click here to look at the project.

My background is varied, from electronics, planning, IT management, economy, facilities management (FI), software development and animation/design. Very wide experiencepool I agree, but life has offered me many opportunities workwise, so this is what I have worked with.

And yes, I have added a picture:

Here I am...

Flash Developer and Designer

I have on this page added a section with some of my work as an animator and designer.

I have a Certification as a Flash MX Designer and Flash MX 2004 Developer.

If you like Arkanoids type of board game, I have added a tiny rather uncomplete version here, which I have made with Flash MX2004.

This bike is a Flash Image I made as a part of a Internet Template for the company I used to work for: ViewStart AS

The same applies to this New Beetle. This image also is made is Flash and can be scaled without loss in quality.

These two images was a part of a package of graphics used in ViewStart Vision. Their Flash Web design software.

Here I list a few templates I made having a face in the upper corner plus some various ones. These are examples of the internet templates I have made. I show them off here as examples of my work.

There is several smaller projects I have made in Flash, here is an example of a Flash Animation web page for ViewStart AS along with bandwidth sniffers which loads better quality video if the bandwidth is good enough: Example1, Example2, Example3, Example4

Director / Shockwave Developer

I have been working with Shockwave and Flash since 1998, and have over the time achieved great knowledge in using them. The years from 1997 and 2003 I have mainly been working with interactive training. tutoring how to use computer programs. This work has been done for several companies over the last 7 years. Here is an example of one of these.  This animation is made in shockwave, where I generated a simulation engine, on which I can add a shell around, which interacts with the user. This means is a quick task to alter the interactivity for a new exercise, and keep the same simulation engine inside. The same animation can also by this shell encapsulating, easily be played back as a showme video instead, where there is no interactivity.

Here is a shockable 3D engine I developed for Director , just before Macromedia released Director 8.5 with a BIG and LOVELY 3D engine... Hehe... but still.. my routine is pretty swift and quick. Originally it was made for a demo on Amiga 500 back in 1990. (I was Experiment IV member of Arcadia Team, and we coded several demos in assembler.) The MegaDemo from 1989 is even listed at the Aminet Demo database for download :-)

(The preload of the 3D demo may produce some error messages as "Script Error", just choose to continue a couple of times, and it will start. The reason for this is because the animations was developed to run off a CD, and has bad code for streaming data over the internet, for this I am sorry)

Green Balls of Fire, particle animation. Use the mouse pointer to move the 3D particle animator.

If you are interested in Commodore and Amiga computers, test the  "Back to the good ol' days" animation I made in sheer hype over finding the Galvay is God First Blood music! Excellent time back then! I still have my good old Commodore 64, with a diskdrive.. and some demos Along with 3 amigas and a Spectrum... I am totally lost... I know.

Visual Basic / C Sharp / ASP.NET / Cold Fusion / Java Script / Java

I have been working with Visual Basic, and as a 50% owner of the company InfoTech ANS, we have developed and sold 3 programs to norwegian medical personell. The last software Lungen which will be installed on all medical offices in norway. Lungen is used to follow up, treat and register astmatic patients sickness and sickness development.

One of my tasks were developing the Interactive Training content and Webplatform for Sheidegger Training in Luton England. The platform was based on Microsoft IIS with Microsoft SQL 2000, where the interactive learning platform itself were designed using ColdFusion. The content were designed using HTML and Shockwave elements. In addition to this web platform, I also developed a CDROM version, where the username/password and non copyable issues were solved using Visual Basic and DHTML.

I have developed and built several websystems, one I wish to mention in particular was the customer support and registery database for the telecompany Tele1 where I was employed. This system did consist of a storage module, customer database and systems for calculating mobile phone usage with reports. The system was made in Visual Studio in C Sharp ASP.NET.

 Music / Misc.

Here you can find a link to my Artist pages at Besonic Besonic HearDrum. Or you can click here to listen to three tunes I have made for various projects in the last years. Here is a Dance mix, background musak theme, and a intro theme. I probably make more musak than music I guess, but it is made using my Yamaha PSR 8000, P80 and my computer with various softwares.

If you want to approach me with questions or work related issues, you can do this at my listing at Allexperts.com.

I have even uploaded my CV here, although I have already written quite a lot of it on this page anyway.
