Birthplace:

June 7, 1975

Vidar has become in a short time one of Norway's most popular editors.  After a short carrier in the army, and an even shorter as kinder garden employed Vidar started to make coffee for the popular soap "Seven sisters". After mingling with the right people he managed to get his way into the editing room. He saw the editors job as a game of puzzles and was attracted to the process.  After calling The Norwegian film school and being harshly turned away by an not very nice employee who told him he wasn't good enough, Vidar started his long climb up the ladder to reach his goal: A government granted film education. He has been AD for soap serials, assistant editor on the Norwegian film "schpaa", and working on numerous short-film projects. After studying film science at Lillehammer he was finally accepted at The Norwegian Film school. Where he also met his beautiful wife Cecilie.  Vidar's long way to the film business has made him strong and focused. The way he approaches new material and his dedicated way of working is unique. His editing work on the feature films; "Loop", "Uno", "Pitbull Terje" and now his most challenging film "Den Brysomme mannen" has shown that Vidar has strong talent for the profession. His international break is not far away.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
