    Flukt (2012) Directed by : Roar Uthaug
    Most of my time at Ghost i worked on several shotts for this Norwegian feature.
    I was fortunate enough to be the compostor for a one of the main vfx-shot for this movie involving a fairly complex background replacements with CG elements.
    My tasks varied from keying, 3D projections, set extensions, clean-ups, intregrating 2D or 3D elements like blood, fire, smoke.
