Jørgen Trolle Ørberg 1970 - 2008

Unread post by jonaz.dk » 29 Sep 2008, 15:57

Og så en trist besked. Jørgen Trolle Ørberg er død ved slagtilfælde i en tidelig alder af 37.
Jeg har ikke personligt mødt ham trods hans mange år i branchen.
Men en masse folk på sitet vil helt sikkert kunne nikke genkendende til ham tilbage fra Amiga-dagene. Han havde i de senere år sin gang på alt fra ITE, IO Interactive til Krogh Mortensen Animation.

Jørgens arbejde vil leve videre på nettet mange år fremover.

Der skal lyde kondolance til Jørgens familie og venner herfra.

Hans bror har lavet en tribute video i 2010

Ja, det er godt nok et stort, uventet tab.

Jeg havde den store fornøjelse at sidde bagved Jørgen i seks måneder mens vi begge arbejdede på ITE. Han sad med Photoshop 4 (da 5'eren krævede for meget ram ift hans maskine) og tegnede på livet løs. Ps4 havde kun én undo, så han sad ofte og tegnede én streg, ctrl-z'ede den og forsøgte igen indtil den var god nok. Med den begrænsning nåede han hver dag at lave utrolige tegninger, som både gjorde at man faldt i staver men også næsten at man gik hjem og knækkede alle ens blyanter i afmagt, for, hold op, han var dygtig! :)

På Io havde jeg også fornøjelsen at snakke grafik med Jørgen igen, men også musik. Han spillede i et mindre band, der spillede stille, melodiøs rock. De arbejdede på et mindre album, som han var så venlig at give mig nogle semi-færdige versioner af. Det har jeg så lyttet til de sidste par dage.

RIP, Jørgen.

I know Jorgen as ZanMan.

Zanny was a great friend to me, there weren’t many days that went by without us talking and playing online together on the PC and just recently the Xbox, and although we both took our game play pretty seriously we still had lots of laughs.

We have a post on our forum http://thclans.20.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=163

I'm really going to miss him :( .

I too knew Jørgen as [TH]ZanMan aka Zanny.
I had played on line gaming with Zanny since 1999; he was indeed a extremely talented artist/designer, but more importantly, he was a genuine guy.

He is a huge loss to our gaming community, & I feel I have lost a very close friend.
We will continue to remember Zanny in a way that we feel Zanny would approve, by holding an annual gaming tornament in his name.

Since finding out about the loss of our friend, I have received many messages from all over The World; Zanny truley touched the hearts of many people & will be missed but never forgotten.

We love you Zan & you will always be in our hearts.
