GROW's Jonas enjoys Florida summer while finishing up his last projects for SKATEboarding and WakeBoarding

Hi Bonnier.

This is my last blog before I get on the plane home in two weeks. I've had a blast being here at Bonnier Corp. in Orlando, and I really want to thank Bonnier for giving me this opportunity.

I've met some really nice people, seen loads of great places and the weather compared to Sweden has been awesome. Best summer I've had in many years, for sure.

My last projects before I go home are one more promo for SKATEboarding and WakeBoarding, and maybe shooting some more video and finishing up the TV pilot intro.

GROW blogger Jonas meets the new boss and moves with the office

We are done moving in to our new work place here in Winter Park. We had a busy time rewiring all the equipment and setting everything up for production. The list of productions we are set to do is filling up fast.
I'm working an intro for a TV show, 4+ promos for different magazines and are going out to shoot some footage, and more is in the pipeline...looks like the tempo is finally going up a bit towards the end of my stay here.
We got a new boss also who hopefully can raise the bar on future productions. It's been the wild west on web-produced materials here now and then.

GROW's Jonas Westin watches the evolution of Bonnier Corporation's multimedia group

Hi Bonnier and the rest of the World,

I can't believe that I've been here in Orlando almost half of the time already. There's a lot of stuff going on here at Bonnier Corp. People are getting fired, people are getting hired, people are getting new titles and moving offices.

The small video team that I'm a part of is moving to new facilities across the street this Friday, and they're merging us with people that do TV shows. But since the blogs we are writing are public for anyone to read, I'm not going to give you any more details on all the things that are going on here.

Swedish GROW ambassador Jonas Westin brings Boating Life videos to life

How y'all doing back home?

This is my third week here in Orlando, Florida at Bonnier Marine Group. Bonnier is getting pretty tired of hearing about Florida's beautiful beaches, sun, beer, cool people and other great stuff that makes life here such an awesome time. I got orders of writing about what work I actually do here at Bonnier. ;)

As I told y'all (that's how we talk down here in the south) earlier, Jamie, Matt and Ken that I work with, got me started right away with editing Tube tests for Boating Life magazine.

Our new GROW ambassador lands in Orlando in time for some Florida sun

I'm a Motion Designer at Tv4 AB in Sweden. I have been working in TV for 15+ years now. I started out early as one of the first promo producers ever in Sweden, at Swedish Television (SVT). At that time, the promotion side of TV wasn't very developed. Each producer basically decided by themselves what programs to do promos for, and a regular promo could easy be up to two minutes long, sometimes longer. Every department was its own little island.
