Thank you all for your nice words! The movie has actually had it´s run here in Sweden already, så FY skäms på alla er som inte sprang och såg den när ni hade chansen! 
At this years Cannes festival it was the hottest Swedish movie and was sold to: Australia (TV), Singapore, The Filippines, Malaysia, Thailand, Turkey, UK, USA, Canada, Spain and Germany (DVD). And then some. So keep an eye open so that you don´t miss it!
And now to answering your questions:
Foane:
"-how do you guys paint away the markers from the original plate? (what application do you use?)"
Well there´s nothing magic to it really, it´s just a matter of either clone-stamping them out of the way or tracking in some bits and pieces from the backplate to cover the markers. At Fido Film we use Shake as our primary compositing/2d application. Some tracking markers were also removed in the Avid DS.
"-do you manually keyframe the 3D reference object you talked about earlier to match the markers?"
Not really, we start out with a "regular" track inside MatchMover. Then we bring in the reference geometry and attach each vertice to it´s respective tracking marker using the "rubber band" tool. With the three dimensional reference object in place the software can then figure out how the object moves in 3d-space. This track is then imported into Maya, our 3d-model is attached to it and voilá! Of course, sometimes there´s need for some manual adjustments and tweaking in Maya. Adding or removing keyframes where necessary.
[color=Silver]"-why exactly do you export that 3D reference object to 'Matchmover'? (can't you just link the head bone of your character rig to the 3D reference object in the same application?)"
Well, MatchMover isn´t a full 3d application. It´s just a tracking software focusing on just that. We then bring that track into Maya, which is our weapon of choice for 3d, for animation and rendering. I´m not really sure if this answered your question? Holla´ back at me if it didn´t :)
"-how do you erase the character's head (see mirror shot) without knowing what's behind him? (+what piece of software do you use for these things?)"
During the shoot we also make sure to get what is called a "clean plate". That is a exactly what it sounds like. A clean shot without the actor in it (and as such we have what is to be seen behind him). In this case just a clean mirror plate that is revealed with a custom wipe/mask. Again, Shake is what we use for this kind of 2d-work.[/color]
vfx:
[color=Silver]"P.S. Does this open up any chances for you guys to work on more featur efilms perhaps from U.S. shores?"
Well, I´m not really sure on an international scale but yes- we have a lot of feature work coming our way. It´s mostly a matter of getting the right kind of people too see our work, and to get the right connections out there. Time will tell!

"Pray tell, though, are you the guys who was originally going to do a swedish vampire/[i]western[/i] crossover thing, or am I mixing y'all up w. someone else?"
Euhm... well... no, not that I know of at least. Nothing I´ve heard about at all actually, but it sounds like fun! Hehe.
SOE digital:
[color=Silver]"Was the blood running from the cut, in the digital scapel shot, CG?"
The blood was an in camera effect. Fido Film delivered a lot of practical on-set effects as well as the CG you´ve all seen here.

boomji:
"francois(realviz) sent us your reel some time back...to convince some people back here ;)."
Well then, were you convinced? :)
Okie dokie, I think I got it all down now? Just let me know if I missed out on someones questions or something!
Cheers,

nice team work
