The campaign for Ikea is produced by Pegasus for Hjaltelin & Stahl. The films are edited at P47, VFX and mastering by Pumpkin, audio and sounddesign by JAM.

Pumpkin's ambition is to be one of the most attractive postproduction facilities in the capital. As part of fulfilling that ambition we now join venture with the high-end music and sound design company JAM.

Creating synergy between specialists lies at the very heart of creative postproduction regardless of which medium you are working with. Therefore we have established the creative working community 'Pakhus 47' – referring to the old warehouse 47 where we are located in the northern harbor of Copenhagen.

In the future Pakhus 47 will be the framework of an ambitious full service media house. Pumpkin will function as JAM’s visual department while JAM will handle all Pumpkin’s audio related productions. We are very pleased with the cooperation with JAM and are looking forward to building one of the finest creative environments in postproduction.

Recently Pumpkin has color graded the Polish singer and songwriter Czeslaw Śpiewa’s music video for his new single “W sam raz”, which freely translated means to be “just satisfied”. In the video, shot on-location in Poland, Czeslaw and his team work with themes like ‘death’ and ‘apathy’ as metaphors for the situation of living in a relationship that isn’t as joyful as it suppose to be.

The song is the first single from Czeslaw Śpiewa’s new record named “Pop”, which is in the stores on the twelfth of April. The video is directed by Mads Nygaard Hemmingsen and produced by Joanna Zofia Bard Mikolajczyk.
