Qvisten was tasked by NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation) to create a new intro for “Barne-TV” (children’s tv) in 2002.
After several incarnations, Fantorangen was one of the creatures which emerged from this process, and he has later become a staple of NRKSuper.
Since his inception, Qvisten has done some changes, like chopping down his trunk and making his universe more tactile.
Qvisten is proud of having created Fantorangen, and that he has become an icon for all the nation’s children, and is one of our most well-known entertainment-products.

The stop-motion freature film Hakkebakkeskogen aka “In the Forest of Huckbucky” had its premiere the 25th of December 2016.
Based on Thorbjørn Egner’s beloved classic from 1952, the film features recompositions by the band Katzenjammer of the original songs by Egner & Hartmann. This is our 3rd puppet movie animated here in Norway, and we’ve already started working on our fourth. We are very proud of reinvigorating this amazing technique in Norway, and we’re so inspired by all the wonderful talent we’re accruing at our studio at Grini, Bærum, Norway.

Who says that commercials can’t have feature film quality? We put the team from Knutsen & Ludvigsen on the case, and the result is 6 charming spots that Gjensidige could use on various social media. We loved bringing back the iconic characters from the beloved film series of Olsenbanden, and we are pleased to see that the generel public approved.
Production Company Monster wanted a new look for their intros/outros. The character designs they handled themselves, but when they wanted them to move they came to us. All 5 characters got their own “mini-movies” which we also merged together in different versions. The logo itself also got animated related to its differing designs, like the hairy and slime-versions.
The show ran for two seasons on VG’s (norwgian newspaper) website in 2009, and a collection-DVD was produced later, containing an extra episode. The web-show garnered approx. 1 million views per episode, quite unheard of in a country of 5 million people. Many also rated the show 1-6, and wrote short reviews of the show. Often with polarized results. Jan-Thomas, the real-life basis for the main character, has commented that he greatly appreciated the parody on a couple of occasions.
Plotline: A famous hair-dresser regularly turns spandex-clad super-hero, to fight his, often personal, enemies.
