Please welcome our judge for UWOL #8.... at DVinfo.net

Meryem Ersoz · April 6th, 2008, 09:29 AM

Our judge for UWOL #8 has won multiple awards for his work.

He has an amazing eye for composition and a remarkable will to go the extra mile to get the best possible shots...

He has always liked to be out in the wild. His background is in the army, where he served in the special forces for several years before he developed a passion for wildlife cinematography. He has been making fabulous short films of Scandinavian wildlife, and you can see more of his work online at:

He has brought a great deal of wisdom and knowledge to the UWOL group since it first began. Please give your regards to our UWOL #8 judge...

PER JOHAN

Now that was a pleasant surprice!

You have a tough job ahead of you, Per Johan! The film making skills of everyone has increased a lot during the last year.
Good luck finding the best films, I know you will do well.

congrats Per Johan!

John Dennis Robertson · April 7th, 2008, 01:04 AM

Hats off to you Per Johan, only a brave man would judge work done by people who have become his friends over the past year.As we all know you have set a high standard for us to follow,and your comments on our work have always been well recieved congrats

Bryce Comer · April 7th, 2008, 01:19 AM

Congratulations Per,
I think this really reinforces what we all think about your film making skills here at UWOL. I think it's a great to have your work critiqued by your peers, but to be the actual judge of this round must be a real thrill for you!

Regards,

Bryce

Marj Atkins · April 7th, 2008, 09:57 AM

Welcome Per. You are certainly a well-respected member of the UWOL team and your work is an inspiration to all of us. We look forward to hearing all your judging comments this time round.

(I hope you won't lose out on your T-shirt for missing this one out!)

Meryem Ersoz · April 7th, 2008, 10:45 AM

I should have mentioned that Per has the option to put up a non-compete entry, as I do, so his t-shirt premium is not in jeopardy--if he can handle the pressure of both playing along and judging!

You people think of every angle, though, don't you??

Per Johan Naesje · April 7th, 2008, 01:15 PM

Thanks everybody for your warm welcoming me as the judge for this round!
Meryem asked me and I couldn't resist, could I!?

I know this will be hard to judge as the quality of the videoes has rised a lot lately! I will also make a non-compete entry, just to be in for the t-shirt at the end of this year, I already got 2 of those beautiful shirts already!

Good luck to everybody!

Dale Guthormsen · April 7th, 2008, 07:03 PM

Per,

The only down side of your judging will be the fact that I wont have an entry of yours to be inspired by!!!

I can't think of anyone I would desire to judge more than yourself!!!

I am going to have to make sure i do my best work this round!!!!

I am revved up about this round!!!

Gilles Debord · April 8th, 2008, 04:24 AM
