I'm Erling - and I work with video production and journalism. I've studied at the Volda University College and the Kristiania University College and I'm a storyteller who seeks to engage and follow my curiosity. I also enjoy sailing and cooking!
Freelance Video Producer
Filmed, edited and gathered video material to inspire youths to take part in a European exchange. I travelled to locations to make recordings of former participants and documented seminars. Animations with text and motion were done in After Effects, and I used Premiere Pro for editing. The job was a per project collaboration, where the finished videos were published on Active Youths social media platforms, and released together with the general info package to schools in Norway.
Web Developer
For the Le Monde Diplomatique newspaper, I added extra functionality to their WordPress site and did a huge digitalization cleanup of older editions and a reformatting of existing digitalized articles. Edits of the WordPress site were done with PHP code. For the clean-up and digitalization, I used both scripts for Indesign and python scripts to automate work. This saved lots of time. The reformatting was about locating mistakes, testing the match call with regex code, and performing it on the database if valid.
Course Facilitator
I was tasked to teach basic programming to primary school children using Minecraft Education. This version of the Minecraft game makes it possible to make and execute scripts in-game. For this job, I prepared weekly tasks, made explanation videos on YouTube, and tried to make the remote digial classroom seem as fun as possible. Everyone participated from their own home because of Covid restrictions.
