The company

Oceanwatcher-Media-logoWhat’s in a name? The Oceanwatcher name comes from the view on the island of Karmøy on the west-coast of Norway that was the home of the first king of the country. Many suggests the passage past the island is also the origin of the name Norway (Norge in Norwegian) – “The way north”. An ever-changing weather and a fantastic nature made it easy to choose Oceanwatcher as a nickname in the early days of the web, and now it is part of the company name.

So far, we are able to provide the following services:

  • Photography
  • Video and film production – from planning to delivering a finished product
  • Workshops
  • Web services, including site planning, design and social media
  • Consulting – the digital media landscape

Languages spoken: Norwegian (including Danish and Swedish), English, Basic Brazilian Portuguese and a little German.

And with 20 years experience in broadcast tv, video and film production, he has a solid background to tackle a wide range of challenges. He considers everything he does today as one or another form of communication, and that it has become even clearer during the last years after moving from Norway to Brazil. In addition to the media work, he also teaches photography, video production and trains video editors in how to use Avid MediaComposer.
