  • With its imposing mountains, endless plateaus and echoing valleys, Norway is a country where nature takes the lead. Using time-lapse, this film attempts to capture the ebb and flow of the seasons and is a result of one year of planning, a second year of shooting and four months of editing.
    20,000 kilometers have been travelled, 200,000 photos taken and 20 terabytes worth of hard drives filled. Months have been spent hiking through the mountains, sleeping in tents and travelling through the entire country hunting for the best locations.
    SEASONS of NORWAY is shot and edited by Morten Rustad. The video is available in up to 8K resolution (7680*4320 letterboxed).
    INFORMATION ABOUT THE FILM CAN BE FOUND AT: www.mortenrustad.com
    MUSIC: The soundtrack is made by Jogeir, specially composed for this film (see / seasons . Check out more of Jogeir’s work at Soundcloud ( / jogeirmusic ) and Facebook ( / jogeirmusic . Vocals on the track are done by Katrine Stenbekk, mix by Sivert Hagtvet and sound design by Viljar Losnegård.

    I still have goosebumps right now as I'm writing this. What's different about this short film from other 4-8K videos out there is that Morten actually gets it as a filmmaker. From the get-go he shows that it's more than just high tech gear and pretty landscape. He skilfully mixes shot types, angles and speed, picks all the right shots for the different parts of the music (and/or vice versa by Jogeir), and does not shy away from the darker moodier moments as a visual/emotional contrast, before bringing everything to a crescendo with the northern light scene. Absolute masterpiece.

      I think people in general tend to miss that "cinematic" above all else entails "narrative". Girlfriend stands in forest, man walks across street or coffee beans get ground in slow motion with a orange teal lut carries no narrative.

      air pollution? I've been to Oslo and It was hard to see someone driving a car, I saw more in Bergen but I would say 20% of cars are electric there. Also those two cities are next to the sea. Try to go to almost any major european city in summer, it's terrible.

    Stunning video! :) My hubby and I arrived back home yesterday after spending almost a month in Norway and it's one of the best vacations we've every had. It's such an incredible adventure to visit there and it's beauty really does have to be seen to be believed. The memories of the time we spent there will stay with us forever and we can't wait to visit again. I was worried we may not see the Northern Lights and we actually saw the most stunning display on the very first night we arrived :) That was the most amazing way to start our trip. Skiing and exploring and seeing the wildlife there really was a dream come true. Norway is nature at it's very best and breathtaking in every possible way. Norwegians are right to be so proud of their country. Love always from NYC 🗽

    • @politicallycorrectredskin796
      @politicallycorrectredskin796 3 роки тому

      Just a tip from someone who lives in Norway, you can sometimes see the Lights in summer down in the south if you just get out of the cities. There is quite a lot of light pollution along the coast and near the cities. I highly recommend summer camping in the south of Norway for this reason, particularly in the mountains. You can walk all day without seeing another person and then camp under the clearest skies you've ever seen. As long as the weather is nice, obviously. That's always an issue here.

      You can definitely tell the difference when something has been recorded in 8K, even if you can't view it at that resolution. Everything just looks more defined, edges are more crisp and there's more detail in the background and actually just more detail in general. I'm still able to watch this in 4K and it's stunning, I can't imagine how good this would look in 8K.

    By the way Morten Rustad, have you taken timelapses and photos of some of the pearl white beaches in the Lofoten area? A great place to travel at least.

    The most inspiring time-lapse videos I have ever seen. It captured a story from beginning to end, then back to the beginning.It is a story that can be told time and time again, afresh every time, from a different perspective and just as beautiful as the last.
