I'm very interested in time-lapse videography so I was drawn to this video for that reason. I certainly am biased towards Iceland having visited and having left most of my heart there, but regardless, the images and the color in this film are absolutely stunning. The film also shows extreme dedication. The filmer shot for 17 days straight and lived out of his car for the whole period of time. This is the way to experience Iceland, for sure, but it also is a choice he made in terms of how dedicated he wanted to be to his shots and ultimately his film.
The film really exemplifies how much time and energy was put into this man's personal project. The panning and the dolly-ing is quite mystical and really adds to the whole feel of the natural landscapes he was working with. While showing how normal Iceland can be, the filmer also showed how abnormal it can be by making sure to include the sun panning horizontally across the frame, which really is the height of the "24 hour sun" phenomenon.
At times, I felt like the shots were not full enough; I felt as though the composition was a bit uneven, with the majority of the details in the bottom of the frame. So, that's one thing I would change if it were me shooting the video. On the other hand, the color was certainly full enough to give the viewer as much visual information as possible.
A job very well done, in my opinion.
