Our Work About Us Íslenska Our Work About Us Íslenska This is us. Einar Ben CEO / Founder / Creative Einar holds the Icelandic record for most emails sent and phone calls made at the same time. When he is not on the phone, he is running across town in meetings, pitching ideas and flirting with customers. He is the captain of this ship and he always makes sure to steer the ship to safety through dangerous waters. Addi Atlondres Founder / Creative director / Director Arnar thrives best when he is working on 3-4 projects at the same time. Nobody at the office would handle being inside Arnar’s head. But fortunately Arnar is inside Arnar’s head and he tackles that project with style as he does with all other projects he takes on. Truthfully, every project we make doesn’t leave out the door without a thumbs up from Arnar, and that ensures that every project is fantastic, like Arnar himself. Daníel Oddsson Creative director / Creative / Project Manager If there was no Daníel, all the employees at the office would wander on the streets of Reykjavík. Daniel watches over his people in the office and all the projects we take on, as it is his lawful duty as the oldest person in the office. But he isn’t just the project manager, he often takes active part in the projects. And whether it is as producer, writer or director, Daniel always delivers. Baldvin Albertsson Director / Creative / Script Baldvin is probably born in the wrong country at the wrong time. He would probably be happier in the stone age, but he’s not there. He is here and we couldn’t be happier about it. Baldvin directs projects that he writes as well as projects he didn’t write, and he does it both with excellence. Freyr Árnason Director / Creative / Scriptwriter There’s not a lot of people that know this, but Freyr used to play the bass, drums and keyboard for the band Mujaffa in his younger years. He has used this musical background to write and direct amazing music videos. But wait.. there’s more. He also writes and directs commercials, when he is not busy having great ideas. There is nothing Freyr loves more than the traditional icelandic bakery-treats called “snúður”. Look it up. Gísli Brynjólfsson Art direction / Editor / Graphics / Color Grade sli is the singer in the legendary band Chinese Joplin. He usually goes by the name Gísli Thors in the office. G.Thors is the art director and as such corrects the color, decides which fonts to use on the texts, fine-tunes and puts his magic touch on our videos Kári Jóhannsson Editor / Sound Kári is an editor and the only one in the office that has his own personal office. In his spare time he slaps the bass for the famous band Chinese Joplin. He uses that knowledge of music to make all our videos sound amazing. Fun fact about Kári: He regularly gets emails from the hairdresser community because he was mistakenly listed in their union. For those who do not know, the word for editor and hairdresser in icelandic is the same word; klippari. Rakel Dögg Office Manager / Customer Relations Rakel is the only one in the office that has played for the national team in handball, where she was the captain. She is also the only woman in the office and is now the captain of this boys club. She handles the sales and regularly takes part in some projects as a producer. Tómas Ingi Doddason Director / Creative / Scriptwriter Tommi has the ability to make almost everything funny. His job in the office is to get ideas and write them down. Sounds easy? It’s not. In his spare time he works for FH, the football club, where he runs a radio broadcast on every game. He also made the texts for all the employees on this site, except the text about him. That would have been dangerous. Viktor Aleksander Bogdanski DOP / Equipment manager Don’t let the Polish last name fool you. Viktor speaks perfect icelandic and that suits the office really well, because nobody in the office speaks polish. Viktor is a cinematographer and has a custom plate number on his car: “VAB”. If you are in Iceland and you see him, give him a wave and a smile. Skapti Magnús Birgisson DOP / Editor Although Skapti is of young age, he has been with us for a long time. His job in the office is a cinematographer and editor. But maybe the bigger role he has in the office is to inform all the older people about all the new fashions and trends of the young people in Iceland. Ganton - Gunnar Anton Guðmundsson DOP / Editor anton speaks seven languages but only understands three of them. He studied cinematography in the Czech Republic. Many Oscar-winning cinematographers come from the Czech Republic so we really have our hopes up that Ganton does the same in the future. If that doesn’t work out for him, he is also a up-and-coming mini golf course designer and could go far in that field. Árni Gestur Sigfússon Editor / Color Grade Did you know that Tano Cimarosa played the blacksmith in the movie Cinema Paradiso from the year 1988? Árni Gestur knew. He is the man IMDB goes to when they don’t know something. He is the first one in the office to get married. Árni goes his own way and that’s what makes him such a unique editor. He has also seen so many bad movies that he knows exactly how NOT to do things. Ideas Ideas can be a dime a dozen. Great ideas can be invaluable. They drive individuals and companies, consumers and users alike. We live for ideas and thrive for conceptualizing them into media content. You can also bring your own idea, during any stage of development, and we get you off the drawing board and into production. No problem. Implementation The implementation stage is often when ideas wilt and fold into the cabinets of ideas past. Implementing often seems overwhelming and ideas go off track, but when you implement your idea at the place of its inception, you come face to face with a process that is streamlined yet adaptable, focused, and most importantly, tailor-made to fit the idea. Whether you need a TV commercial, content, trailers, sound engenering , animation or whatever else you can come up with, we can come on board and make your idea come alive. Production Great ideas come to life if the right medium for the right target audience is used. Various different media are right for various different ideas, and each idea becomes the most successful if married with its ideal media partner that shows the idea off in the most favourable light. We know your idea inside out and will adapt it to fit the medium you are aiming for – any medium. We know new media like the backs of our hands and have gotten to know social media and viral marketing extremely well. Our work philosphy centres around pulling the user to the message, but not only pushing the message to the user. Our aim is simple, really – to create content that the user wants to see, and that he would want all of his friends to see too.
