Hei Vidar.
Nice film and you have a way of choosing images that moves ones heart.
I would have liked a bit more movement in your film though, but what the h...
You can find a lot of adventure in the silence and as we all know, the ice are magic :)

All the best to you Vidar and thank you for sharing.

Hi Vidar,

Yes, this is a very nice entry. I always enjoy being taken back in time on the path of a myth or legend.

I do agree with others regarding the images you captured, very nice and the music worked well - although I would have gone with something local, given the storyline was about a local "myth".

Well done Vidar, nice entry.

Vidar, what a unique concept. I would have never thought of lighting icicles like that. To see the light dancing inside the ice was beautiful. I will have to try that sometimes when I am in a cold climate. Great job. Bob

Hi Vidar

Enchanting visuals in this piece, I can see why you decided to feature this. The ice looked fantastic in your shots. I think a bit of variation might have helped even more. Pans, reveals, slow zooms and such.

Overall I felt your piece started well but was left a bit open ended, I really wanted some closing to it after you has VO'd us into the piece. The VO could also have been a bit louder. I liked the music and I think it fot although I would have really had something more Nordic I have to say.

Very beautiful piece fella....well done!

Vidar,

This was an incredible journey! I thought the VO was perfect, the feeling was of a story around a fireplace... I personally liked that the camera was not moving on the closeups of the lights - if it had been moving, I would have thought the lights were changing due to camera angle.... This way it appeared to have inner fire dancing... loved it. :) Also, the music seemed fitting to me, I'm quite drawn to Asian culture in general, and that style of music makes me think of peace... works well.

Vidar, thanks for that unique journey, and story. Very pretty images and lighting effects. Nice work

Wow what can I say, beautiful images with some great in camera(ice) effects. I liked the music, it helped bring me there, to the place you were filming.

Another strong entry!

Some really beautiful images here Vidar - and very interesting. (This world of snow and ice is so foreign to me.) I find what you have done quite intriguing. Your images are very sharp and clear.

Vidar, what a beautiful piece!
I loved every bit of it. Like others have said, some more movement would have added to it, but that certainly didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying it. I really liked the music & thought it fit the shots but not the theme. Great job to put it together yourself.

I liked this more and more towards the end, but the beginning I found rather jarring. Some of the early transitions were a little too sharp, and in contrast to both the voice-over and the music. But the general idea, and the dancing lights, were very well executed.
