RBG6, Nexus Productions

Finalist: Directors

JUST THE FACTS: Names - Lars Ohlin and Joel Nordström; Ages - 28 and 33; Hometown - Stockholm, Sweden; Education - graphic design at Stockholm's Konstfack Art College; Employ - with Nexus since October, 05.

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE: After meeting at Konstfack, Nordström and Ohlin launched a graphic design studio, which they named after the address (Rödabergsgatan 6) of their workspace. They're still there, largely because of its proximity to a junk collector who can procure any item they ask for. "He's like a human Google!"

BEST WORK: A gorgeous stop-motion piece for Orange ("A Minute"), in which rolls of colored tape unfurl patterns that spill out onto walls, floors and a nearby chair. "Our collection of tape was quite OK before this," they joke. "Now, we dare to say, it's quite impressive."

THE FIVE STRANGEST OBJECTS IN THEIR WORKSPACE RIGHT NOW: "1. A Volvo 245 GLT '86 2. 7 1/2 racer bikes 3. The oversized pens from the Orange films we did last year 4. A knuckle duster 5. A hedgehog came into the studio once, that was strange. But it's not here anymore."
