ONE NIGHT (SEASON 1)

We follow Jonas and Elisabeth who meet each other for the first time on a blind date, in real-time, during one night.

Director / writer Øystein Karlsen has a firm grip on the storytelling and has shown yet again his great talent for creating interesting characters and incredible dialog. His scriptwriting partner in arms is the uber-talented Kristopher Schau. The main stars are the extremely talented MyAnna Buring and Gísli Örn Garðarsson.

The series was shot in two languages, Norwegian ("En Natt") and English ("One Night"). All ten episodes of the Norwegian spoken version premiered on Norway's largest broadcaster, NRK, in January 2018. The English spoken version, "One Night", is currently in the final stages of post-production.

Both versions were treated as two separate episodic series. I graded the entire Norwegian series first, therefore the English version was based on the previous created looks.

Due to a tight deadline, my colleague Raymond Gangstad and I graded 50% of "One Night" each, after Raymond was finished with his first pass I reviewed everything and made adjustments where needed. Acting as the Supervising Colourist for the series, which included all client approval sessions too.

The brief was a warm, romantic Norwegian summer evening, which slowly transcends to night. Cinematographer Annika Summerson shot some lovely imagery for me work with. A lot of the series was shot outside during daytime, and the Norwegian summers are notoriously unstable, so I had to pull out my large bag of tricks to maintain a concise grade. The light had to gradually get darker and darker during the 5 hours the story unfolds.

The trailer for "One Night" can be found here. "One Night" has been sold to several different countries, but the release dates have yet to be determined.
