Force Majeure. Translation : superior force.

This film attempts to depict the immense forces imposed on the surface of the earth by the combined power of the atmosphere and the oceans.

The footage was shot in and around Noosa National Park, on the Sunshine Coast in south-east Queensland. The film was recorded using a Sony DVD201E camera in 16:9 standard definition PAL. It was edited using Adobe Premiere Elements 3.

The music is an excerpt of a composition written by Philip Glass for Godfrey Reggio's film Koyanisqqatsi.

    These are some really, really great shots. I still like the one at 1:26 that you used in your 5x5-2. I also like the shot at 3:38.

    This link is not to show you that I envy you, but to make you appreciate your beautifull homeland. :)

    Hi Miro -- that trip of yours out to the gold mine was quite some 'expedition' -- I feel fatigued just thinking about driving for so long under such adverse weather conditions. Make sure you take care on the roads!

    Thanks also for the link - it does make me appreciate how fortunate I am to live in Australia.

    Best wishes,
    Arnold.

    Powerful images. I am always at awe of how large water can just pull you in. Love the undulating currents. A fine piece, Arnold.

    Hi Tim.

    Thank you for your very kind comments :-)

    Yep: I'm a sucker for water whenever I have a camera in my hand ...

    Kindest regards,
    Arnold
