ONE MORE REASON TO BE PROUD OF WOOPHY AND TO BE A WOOPHYAN!!!
Posted by Laura C on May 20th, 2009 | 21 comments | 1556 views
WELL IT´S NOT WHAT YOU ARE THINKING....
I´m not here to promote a Swedish Magazine or a nice good looking Swedish man!
I have good news and would love to be shared them with you!!!
Not many of you know, but I´m a Swedish Citizen also and have lived all my adult life abroad (outside Brazil where I was born) ...married to a Swede and mother of 2 lovely young adults..one of them is a Woophy member too...but not so active like her mother!
(For this reason sometimes I write about things happening there and publish pictures from Sweden. Because it´s there our main home is! )
What I want to do here is to congratulate this nice young good looking man!
He is Dutch...
He lives in Stockholm
(like me when we are home)
and he is a very smart photographer
(not like me;)!!!! )
You are getting curious I know....
Scene from the movie UPP TILL KAMP!
This guy is not only a Photographer like us, that enjoy taking pictures and posting them in Woophy...hehehe ...but he is a Woophy member too, like me and you!!!!!
He is a famous Film Photographer in Sweden and the Magazine FILM AND TV made a special reportage about him, followed by a long interview...
It deserves attention, as it´s not everyday that a Photographer becomes a magazine´s front cover!!!!
Recently he was awarded the Swedish Prize GULDBAGGE as the best Film Photographer of the year with the movie "Låt den rätte komma in" (Let the right one in)

This fellow was born in Switzerland, grown up in Holland, studied in a Film School in Poland and later on moved to Sweden, Stockholm were he became famous!
He was behind the photo camera in several well known Swedish Film Productions
as:
LASERMANNEN. - THE LASER MAN - 2005
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465689/]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465689/]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465689/
Some details about the production found in the internet:
Author: CGA_Soupdragon from Stockholm
In the early 1990's a person shoots immigrant males in the Stockholm area. Some of the witnesses describe a red dot of light. The shooter was using a gun mounted with a laser sight.
The series, in three feature-length parts, recounts the true events leading up to the arrest of one of Sweden's most wanted criminals.
We see the danish actor, David Dencik -- a relatively fresh face in Sweden, portray Ausonius, a person totally devoid of the tools for proper social contact. It's agonizing to see Ausonius feeble attempts at interacting with other people. The moment the other person fails to match Ausonius' own picture of the world, a venomous hate boils up and over. Dencik's portrayal is very finely balanced. Especially as his role is in three parts.
Firstly, Ausonius' time as a student before his shooting spree, along with a troubled time in the army during conscription.
Secondly the period during the actual shootings/bank robberies.
And thirdly, scenes from his exclusive interviews with Gellert Tamas, a journalist on who's book this series is based.
These three parts are threaded, so that a more complete portrait of Ausonius' psyche can be painted. The patching of the scenes is a way of driving home the fact that Ausonius' behavior has grown out of a troubled background coupled with a twisted view of his surroundings. Rather that showing the events purely chronologically, the filmmakers have opted for a style as if one has a book and needs to turn back to a earlier part to be able to study a point in time more closely.
The other main thread in the series is the painstaking police-work. The actual police hunt is a plodding affair. Because of the fact that Ausonius' crimes (the "indiscriminate" shooting of members of the male public with darker skin colour than Ausonius' own and a long string of bank robberies) were seemingly random, seemingly perpetrated by different people, the police took a very long time to focus on him.
When, in the third program, the police receive a psychological picture of the culprit, another policeman (working on the murder of Olof Palme) remembers an earlier suspect from that investigation. The results of the profile match Ausonius psychological and active history exactly.
From that moment on, Ausonius' days at large were numbered. Ausonius' meticulously deranged plans finally become his own trap as police, needing more evidence of his activities, are tailing him and are present when he comes running out of a bank after the last of his robberies.
Lasermannen is a superb series. It oozes a creepy, realistic quality. The tired detectives, frustrated by yet more weird shootings and crazy, irrational behavior to follow-up. Bewildered people that knew Ausonius and had to deal with him in person. Along with the victims themselves, the horribly unfortunate people shot at random and the people caught up in his other criminal behavior.
Sad, sickening events that helped create a nasty climate in Sweden at that time.
Grim, of course, but it is also a high point in Swedish television production.
UPP TILL KAMP - 2007
(PUTING UP A FIGHT or READY TO FIGHT)
(4th picture)

(please copy and paste the address on your browser...the links below are no working )
Director Mikael Marcimain - acclaimed for recent series Graven and Lasermannen - and screenwriter Peter Birro have pooled their talents to create a drama as true to the time as possible. Rather than apply a mere nostalgic gloss of peace signs and hash pipes, Marcimain wants to recreate the look and feel of 1960s Gothenburg � and this is where Filmgate comes into play. Gotafilm enlisted Filmgate for the creation of realistic set extensions, complete digital environments, a photo-real ocean liner and seamless melding of footage with computer-generated effects, which will transport the streets and clubs of our fair city back 40 years in time.

FLICKAN - 2009 (The Girl) of Fredrik Ekfeldt and David Ohlsson,
and of course "Låt den rätte komma in" (Let the right one in), that gave him the award.
He happen to have a mother called GIZ (a Woophy members since several years) and a brother called JORIS (not a coincidence!), the same Joris that we all know in a way of another!!!
HOYTE and JORIS are the founders of www.woophy.com. A reason for us to be very proud of.
