Personal project • 2022 • Stop-Motion • 3minKvarg
Kvarg is what we in Norway call a “Nisse”, which roughly translates to goblin and/or hobgoblins. Nisse is a creature from Nordic folklore who reside in barns across Norway, and act as secret guardians for the farmers. But they are short tempered and play tricks and steal once offended. Follow Kvarg, and see what mischief he comes up with.
Selections
Telling the story of Kvarg in the form of stop-motion felt like a perfect match. The tradition of folklore and the handmade style of stop-motion go well together.
Stop-Motion animation is a form of filmmaking that I’ve always been fascinated by. The project started in 2020 with the intent of exploring all aspects of the Stop-Motion process and developing my skills as a young filmmaker; with storytelling, character development, construction of sets and puppets, rigging, filming, editing, and sound effects. The process is documented in the Making Of video.
