Aurora Time-Lapse and Popular Science
Examples of my work include productions for e.g. Hurtigruten, NRK (Norwegian Television), SVT (Swedish Television), Holmenkollen Ski Museum and Oslo Airport.
In 2014, I released the documentary “The Northern Lights – A Magic Experience” (co-produced with Solarmax Consult AS) for large-scale arenas such as outreach centers, aurora tour operators, planetariums and science museums.
Based on feedback, the documentary has now been made available for anyone and an extended version for private use was released on DVD in 2015: http://www.solarmax.no/Aurora/SHOP.html, currently available in 8 different languages. Trailer to the documentary can be viewed below.
In 2017, the documentary also became available as a USB Business Card version with Full HD quality. The extra bonus film “NASA SDO Five Year Highlights video - spectacular solar imagery” is included.
To use the USB/DVD for other purposes than private use, a Public Performance Rights (PPR) copy is needed. This allows the USB/DVD to be used in educational purposes (classrooms, Universities etc.). If you wish to buy a Public Performance Rights (PPR), please visit this link: http://www.solarmax.no/Aurora/SHOP.html
The documentary won five awards during the film festival Finisterra Arrábida Film Art & Tourism Festival in Portugal 2015 and won one of the main prizes at the film festival FilmAT in Warsaw the same year. The documentary was furthermore awarded at the Tourfilm festival in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic in 2015, at the Nice International Film Festival, May 2016 and at the Madrid International Film Festival in July 2016.
