My name is Nicklas Larsson, I´m born 1970 and rised in Wermland, Sweden. Study highschool in Karlstad. Estetic as major. Went to Torsby and study Communication an Media for a year. Start working at an local video and film firm as 2´nd editor and graphic designer.

This was the first time I used computers to make motiongraphics. A system called Spaceward Supernova. A software werry like Paintbox in one hand, and it also used 3D. Quantel did not like that. So they sued them. Spaceward lost but are now back with a compositing and paint software named Satori.

My next step was to Nordic School of Set Design in Skellefteå in the north of Sweden. I was stydy computer graphics for film and video. Lots of math and long, funny nights in the graphic studio. For the first time of my life I get my hand of an Silicon Graphic machine. We used highend software; Alias|Wavefront Power Animator, A|W Composer, Matador Paint* and Illusion*(*one of the best programs I ever used, but Avid stops future uppgrade of both softwares). Lots of werry good lecture. The best was Paul Franklin, ex The Moving Picture Company, London. A werry nice guy, who learnd us to use the A|W render to look good and render fast. "No raytrace is ever need"!

After school I moved back to Karlstad, Wermland and started to work at Swedish Television. I´m still working there and it´s a werry interesting job. I do newsgraphics, websites, trailers, special effects, 2D and 3D animations.
