Iceland. Land of contrasts: Hot water and Ice, situated in the North Atlantic, right above the mid-ocean ridge that separates America and Europe.

Shooting was done in two stays (2 weeks each) in 2005 & 2006 (both in September) with a result of 15 hours of footage.

Camera was a SONY Z1. I used some COKIN semi-grey Filters in some of the shots to get the sky as dark as I wanted it to be. Almost no color correction was done in the post, but the timelapse and slo-mo.

    Beautiful. In the late 1960s when I was young, my Bohemian parents went on a 3-week safari by bus all around Iceland. I still remember them telling me that that the tour driver's name was Gudmundar Jonasson. I've always wanted to go there. Thanks for your art.
  • Guðmundur Jónasson is a legendary bus driver in Iceland. His company Guðmundur Jónasson and GJ Travel are still pretty big in Icelandic tourism.

    Very very beautiful images!

    I would have loved to hear the sound of the falling water or of the vapor coming out of the land, etc., and specially the scene at 04:36, how does it sound like?

    It is a shame that you killed all those sounds...
  • Eva Sturm plus 3 years ago
    The sound in the footage is awful, believe me. Just like terrible noise. I think you have to do some sound design in order to emulate the impression of these giant waterfalls and bubbling mud holes. But then you may take the risk, that it become somewhat unreal, unless you have experienced it yourself.

    :):):) sigur ros. there was of course no escaping the inclusion... their music might even be a more intricate part of the landscape than we think. what came first?
  •  
  • Eva Sturm plus 3 years ago
    Folks! I am overwhelmed by this mass of friendly and positive feedback! Here a first attempt to answer all your questions:

    The shots were done in 4 weeks 2005 & 2006 (both in September). All in all I took 15 hours of footage. Camera was a SONY Z1. I used some COKIN semi-grey Filter in a lot of shots to get the sky as dark as I wanted it to be. Almost not color correction was done in the post.

    I did not visit the blue lagoon, but enjoyed a bath at Landmannalaugar.

    The song is also used in "Life Aquatic" by Wes Anderson.

    Thanks again for watching the clip, glad you like it.

    Cheers, Eva

    i was on an oil tanker in the bay at ACARERI in 1943. There was nothing there but a naval club and snow lol
  • Eva Sturm plus 3 years ago
    Where is ACARERI?
  • Neringa Greiciute 3 years ago
    I believe James ment Akureyri? what is the city in the north of iceland, in one of the longest fjords in the country and is surrounded by mountains, second biggest city.
    You can get there when you pass this bubbling mud on orange land and then big lake with a lot of vulcanic islands.. sounds like in fairy tale when you go to rescue the princess :)
  • Eva Sturm plus 3 years ago
    Yeah, I guessed it might have been Akureyri, which is a very nice town.

    I have a question about the cokin filters:
    Do these darken the entire shot, or only the sky/brighter areas? If the latter, how does it work? Is it a gradient?
  • Eva Sturm plus 3 years ago
    Yes, it is a gradient. So you can darken the sky to a certain amount.
  • Steve V 3 years ago
    Cool, well it works great, thanks!

    Were you shooting for a specific project?
  • Eva Sturm plus 3 years ago
    It is still my own project. I was close to sell it, but it failed. So I decided to produce this short. My idea is to bring in some aspects of the ancient times in Iceland, myths, stories etc. and the rough geological history. And maybe now it's also time to bring in the latest events on that island ...
  • Jym Davis 3 years ago
    Nice. I could definitely see it being the backdrop for some kind of short film. That is why I asked. I kind of took that approach when I found some amazing land in mountains of North Carolina. It is more abstract without a lot of direct links to the place but it seemed to kind of fit. Made with a video collective I work with:
