Be amazed! Fasten your seat belt and dive into 24 films in less than 60 minutes. Here is the Nordic-Baltic Competition program for Commissioned Films, including commercials, music videos, information films, identity work, and one or two exhibition pieces. In other words, all the fun the industry makes for a customer. A diverse, but very commercial program that the jury should have a tough job to judge and fun to watch for the rest of us.

The films are competing for the festival award for Best Commissioned Film.

A Trip to Infinity is a scientific documentary film where eminent mathematicians, physicists, and cosmologists dive into the concept of infinity and its mind-bending implications for the universe. The film is a co-production between Room608 in New York and MakeMake in Los Angeles for Netflix. The filmmakers wanted to convey the fascinating scientific concepts of the infinite through dynamic visualizations and animations. A selected group of directors, studios, and motion designers were asked to contribute with one or more sequences each. The result is a mesmerizing film consisting of an eclectic collection of styles – from traditional cel animation to programmed visuals.

TRY Motion was invited to animate and direct the sequence titled Infinity is a Circle, shown here at Fredrikstad Animation Festival. In this part of the film, circles and number lines are used as examples of different kinds of infinities to illustrate how some infinities are bigger than others.


TRY Motion is an Oslo-based motion studio working strategically at the intersection of design, illustration, and technical solutions. The studio is a part of TRY, and has over 20 years of experience with direction, concept development, and art direction for motion design.
