Nilsen-Vig came into contact with the director Rasmus Breistein via the company Kommunenes Filmcentral. He became Breistein's permanent cinematographer and was involved in most of Breistein's films, from Fante-Anne (1920) to Trysil-Knut (1942).[3] He also worked as a cinematographer for other directors, including for the Norwegian–German film The Woman in the Advocate's Gown (1929, directed by Adolf Trotz). In 1923, Nilsen-Vig directed his only film, Strandhugg paa Kavringen (now considered lost),[4] together with Trygve Dalseg.
