SILENCE PROJECT
This is the first episode in my silence project. Through a series of films I will present nature at its most natural. To fully capture the authentic atmosphere of the places I have combined the visuals with a detailed soundscape. No music or artificial sound effects have been used in this film project only the songs from nature’s own sound library. To make the experience as natural as possible both the audio and video are recorded in some of nature’s most undisturbed places.
This project was born out of love for the undisturbed places in nature. The goal of the project is to share the wonders of nature with as many people as possible and thereby ensuring its protection and enjoyment for generations to come. I plan to accomplish this goal through stunning short films with breathtaking video and audio.
SILENT LISTENING
The nature is busy communicating and in places without noise pollution we can listen to the nature at its most natural. Listening is not about trying to hear the sounds that you believe are important. Instead simply listening to the place without comparing sounds to what is already known. If we silent listen to nature in undisturbed places without prejudices we can experience the big diversity of nature and the faintest sounds gain their original importance in the soundscape.
Humans developed in a world where only the sounds of nature filled the air. Our ears are evolved to hear these often soft and information rich ambiences which help us experience our surroundings. But in our noisy urban environment our hearing is continuously being overloaded and thus we have learned to experience our surroundings through our vision. Even when we visit a silent place in nature we try to experience the place through our vision instead of listening to the place. Vision is focused in one direction at the time and is excellent when it comes to focusing our attention on a given event. But vision is very limiting when it comes to capturing the full image of a given place. Therefore hearing and not vision is the preferred sense in nature. The full image of a given place does not only expand in every direction around us but it expands for far distances behind visual objects that block the view but do not block the sounds. In a silent environment sound can travel far distances and can easily travel around objects. Further, it is often difficult to get visual contacts with wildlife but nothing escapes our hearing if we listen in silence.
There are many benefits of experiencing silence in nature. Natural silence is relaxing, reduce stress and increase overall productivity. Conversely, noise pollution cause stress, increase risk of cardio-vascular disease and has a negatively impact on overall productivity. When we live more quiet lives, we become healthier, more relaxed, and better able to listen to others and the world around us.
The industrial revolution and population growth has unleashed an epidemic of noise pollution that has made natural silence one of our fastest-disappearing resources. It is my goal that these films will raise the audience’s awareness to the importance of silence. I hope to bring the experience of natural silence to the audience and encourage an interest in saving the undisturbed places in nature. We need to learn how to listen again to fully appreciate nature’s whispers.
Nature's beauty can be so easily missed. It is my hope that these films will contribute to a deeper understanding and gratitude of the natural wonders in our world and to the preservation of our fragile environment in the future. - Фільми й анімація

Feels like my brain is getting a massage
Great you liked it. Thanks for your support.
Indescribable beauty and amazingly captured Sir😊👌..Was wondering if it looks so beautiful behind the lens what would be like seeing with your naked eyes..
Thanks so much for your kind words. It is incredible beautiful some of these areas in Norway. I hope to return next year. I miss it so much.
It's a bit like where I live : Rome city Centre Italy.
hahahah....
Have you considered releasing the non-time lapse footage? I would enjoy the hours of scenery.
You do amazing work, and I have your films on repeat all the time.
Thanks!
I am very pleased that you enjoy my work and the lovely nature. The timelapses are made from photos and not video ... so I can not make a very long film for you. But you are not the first one to ask for this ... so I will for sure make some longer ones in the future. Maybe some films with one hour of relaxing nature.

God moved over the face of the waters
Happy you like it!
Very much so! Keep up the good work.
Great camera work! where did you shoot the footage at 2:27 and ongoing? :)
Thanks! That is a shot of Fannaråki.
Near Bergen over hardangerfjord what recommended places to see?
Stegastein viewpoint is an amazing place ... Steinsdalsfossen is close to Bergen.

Sorry I want to ask, this is all of your footage?
Because I think in the minute 03:25 I familiar with that scene from Morten Rustad video if I'm not mistaken
Or maybe it just looks similar scene
You are welcome to ask. I always use my own footage in my films.
What valley is it at 12:36?
That is just above Hjelledalen. Have you been there?
where is this here 6:50 exactly? amazin
Thanks a lot. That is Briksdalsbreen.
@@CasperRolsted thanks looks great glacier
Beautiful visuals, but the sounds didn’t always match. I heard a babbling brook over scenes of a gushing river...and birds in the high mountains.
